Chunkee Monkey
Also known as: Chunky Monkey, Chunky Monkey OG
Chunkee Monkey Strain Overview
Chunkee Monkey is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two notable parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Chocolope. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the potent, resinous characteristics of Gorilla Glue #4 with the uplifting, cerebral effects of Chocolope. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, Chunkee Monkey has gained recognition among enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces dense, chunky buds that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The nugs often display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. Chunkee Monkey plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain's name reflects both its physical characteristics (chunky buds) and its genetic lineage (monkey reference from Gorilla Glue).
Chunkee Monkey is known for its complex aroma that combines earthy, diesel-like notes with sweeter undertones of chocolate and citrus. The flavor profile follows a similar pattern, with users reporting a smooth smoke that delivers earthy, diesel flavors on the inhale and sweeter, chocolate-citrus notes on the exhale. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects that provide both physical relaxation and mental stimulation.
