Milk Monkey Strain Overview
Milk Monkey is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular strains: Milk (also known as Milk and Cookies) and Gorilla Glue #4. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as breeders sought to combine the creamy, dessert-like qualities of Milk with the potent, resinous characteristics of Gorilla Glue #4. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Milk Monkey has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces dense, chunky buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a milky white appearance. The nugs often display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. Milk Monkey's buds are known for their sticky texture and heavy resin production, making them popular among extractors. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, characteristic of its hybrid genetics.
Notable features include its complex aroma profile that combines sweet, creamy notes with earthy undertones and a hint of diesel inherited from its Gorilla Glue lineage. The strain's name reflects both its genetic heritage and its milky trichome coverage. While not as commercially widespread as some mainstream strains, Milk Monkey has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among users seeking balanced hybrid effects with dessert-like flavors.

Milk Monkey Strain Growing Information
Milk Monkey is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants tend to reach medium height, with indoor specimens staying around 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially reaching 150-200 cm. The strain benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage its bushy growth and improve light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture retention. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and require adequate support during late flowering due to the weight of the resinous buds. Growers should monitor for common pests like spider mites, particularly in indoor setups.
