Also known as: Grease Bucket
What is the Grease Monkey strain?
Grease Monkey is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and diesel and earthy flavor profile.
Grease Monkey is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Exotic Genetix through crossing Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4) and Cookies & Cream. This potent cultivar gained recognition after winning the Hybrid Flower category at the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup in Michigan. The strain typically exhibits a 70/30 indica to sativa ratio, though some sources report it as 50/50. Grease Monkey is renowned for its exceptionally high THC content, ranging from 16% to 30%, making it one of the more potent strains available in today's market.
The strain's distinctive name refers to the resin-heavy buds that can coat scissors with a sticky, grease-like layer during trimming. Visually, Grease Monkey buds are dense and chunky with deep forest green coloration, often displaying purple hues and bright orange pistils. The flowers are covered in a thick coating of amber-toned trichomes that give them a frosted, almost greasy appearance. This heavy resin production makes the buds extremely sticky and difficult to break apart without a grinder.
Grease Monkey has inspired numerous offspring strains including Grease Bucket and Space Monkey, as breeders seek to harness its robust structure and aromatic depth. The strain's popularity stems from its balanced effects that combine the heavy-hitting sedation of GG4 with the sweet, dessert-like qualities of Cookies & Cream, creating a well-rounded experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
