Funk Muffin
Funk Muffin Strain Overview
Funk Muffin is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. The strain was created by crossing the popular strains GMO Cookies (also known as Garlic Cookies) with a selected phenotype of their own strain, Tina. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the pungent, funky aroma of GMO Cookies while incorporating unique terpene profiles from the Tina lineage. The strain first gained attention in the mid-2010s and has since become known among connoisseurs for its distinctive sensory profile and balanced effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a deep green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. Orange to rust-colored pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The foliage tends to be broad-leaved, reflecting its indica-dominant heritage, though the plant structure shows some sativa influence in its branching pattern.
Funk Muffin is particularly notable for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, gassy notes with sweeter, dessert-like undertones. The name accurately reflects the strain's sensory characteristics, with 'funk' referring to the pungent, skunky aroma and 'muffin' suggesting the sweeter, baked-good notes that emerge upon consumption. The strain has gained a following among experienced users who appreciate its nuanced flavor and balanced psychoactive effects, though it remains less widely available than some mainstream commercial strains.

Funk Muffin Strain Growing Information
Funk Muffin is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants tend to be medium in height, with indoor plants reaching 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially growing taller. Funk Muffin can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds develop. Some phenotypes may require support for heavy colas. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and light penetration.
