ALF #5 is a modern autoflowering variety derived exclusively from Ruderalis genetics. Engineered for ease of cultivation, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, maintaining a flowering period of 70 days. While the plant is characterized by a low yield, it serves as a significant genetic building block, acting as a parent to notable strains such as Anvil and Coal Miner’s Daughter.

The terpene profile of ALF #5 is complex and diverse, led by dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, limonene, pinene, and terpinolene. This chemical composition is rounded out by smaller concentrations of linalool, beta-pinene, humulene, nerolidol, and ocimene, with trace amounts of bisabolol, guaiol, camphene, caryophyllene-oxide, and p-cymene. This specific arrangement of terpenes dictates the plant's distinct sensory notes and aromatic profile.

As a THC-dominant variety, ALF #5 is defined by effects that leave the user feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These consistent attributes make the strain a functional choice for those seeking relief from stress and pain, or support for better sleep. Beyond its immediate therapeutic application, the legacy of this cultivar is cemented by its role in the development of its prominent progeny.
