Also known as: Grease Monkey
What is the Greased Monkey strain?
Greased Monkey is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and creamy flavor profile.
Greased Monkey, sometimes spelled Grease Monkey, is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix. This strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the 'cookie' family lineage that gained popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain represents a deliberate breeding effort to combine the potent effects of Gorilla Glue #4 with the distinctive terpene profile of Cookies and Cream, resulting in a cultivar that has become notable among connoisseurs for its complex flavor and powerful effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes that give the flowers a greasy, sticky texture—hence the name. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with broad leaves, reflecting its indica-dominant heritage. Greased Monkey has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in several cannabis publications for its quality and consistency.
Notable features include its exceptionally high THC content, which regularly tests between 20-28%, making it one of the more potent strains available. The strain has developed a reputation among experienced users for its balanced yet powerful effects and complex terpene profile. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream strains, Greased Monkey has maintained a dedicated following in legal markets, particularly in states with mature cannabis industries like California, Colorado, and Oregon.

How do you grow Greased Monkey?
Greased Monkey is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors but prefers a controlled indoor environment or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants typically reach a medium height of 3-5 feet, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate nutrient support during the vegetative stage to support the plant's vigorous growth.
