Its a great plant. Not stretchy, takes all the K you can throw at it and cuts roots super fast.
The story behind the S5. yes it's orginin is somewere in the neighborhood of Nijmegen. A couple of friends (breeders) were expirimented with some plants. They discovert an early type pheno (with spicifec features). They made 4 clones of the plant (before the knew it was a special pheno) ..when they discovert the pheno they had an argument of who had discovered her... the argument ran high and somebody (one of the three) stole the four clones and disappears. 2 clones stayed in the neighborhood of Nijmegen..and 2 clones whent north (red: amsterdam).
What the stoy doesnt say is what type of early bird is was... people say is was an amnesia...but frankly..we think it was a silver haze pheno (sorry guys).
There's also a Silver haze pheno wich has the almost the same characteristics of the S5 (wich is used by a breeder to make fem seeds of the S5)
a few years back the S5 was ready in 8.5 weeks (59 days) but the last few years she needs a few days more (64 days). And by ready i mean 30/40% amber and 60/70% milky trichomes.
8 weeks: trichomes: 50% clear 50% milky gives a Psychedelic high
8.5 weeks: 90% milky/10% amber gives a Psychedelic up high and a little body stoned
9/9.5 weeks: 60% milky 40 % amber gives a uprush high and a nice body stones
10 weeks +: 60%/70% amber gives a compeet body stoned feeling...nothing more to do than stay in the bench and say bleep bleep...
the diverence between taste is amazing: 9 weeks gives a very fruity and sweet taste... 10 weeks gives a more earthly taste..because my enlgish (and taste) isn.t that good, i cannot exactly define the taste... although a lot of coffeshops (not only in Nijmegen) will say they have the original S5, they have not... Althougs some coffeshops have a small amound of S5..they will sell anything as as S5 wich not to compare wich amnesia (wich is super) and also not with Silver haze (wich is also super) ...it's... euhmm...rare.. (although some of the Wf;s have indeed the original clone but who to belive..i/m just a noob....
Hopefully this is some more info for ya.
just to add on, since I think it's a funny name. back when we had mandatory military service when you turned 18 there were a few ways to get out of it, if you had no better way you'd act crazy during the check-up/interview. the code those people used on forms to disqualify you for military service for mental reasons was S5.S5 in dutch means crazy house or mental ward ...

(luckily I'm young enough that the mandatory military service didn't exist anymore when I turned 18, so I haven't had to try for S5)
