Overview

Monkey Balls is a classic, indica-leaning cannabis cultivar known for its chunky, round colas that inspired the memorable name. Growers and old-school aficionados often associate it with the Deep Chunk line, a famed Afghani hashplant preserved and worked in Northern California. The strain emerged from the broader Northern California scene that prized Afghani hashplant genetics for their resin output, speed, and reliability, with its lineage tracing back to pure Afghan genetics introduced to Northern California in the late 1970s. As a select phenotype from Tom Hill's Deep Chunk, Monkey Balls is characterized by extremely dense, purple-to-black buds with a kushy smell and taste, strong structure, and decent yields. The strain typically tests moderate-to-high in THC, with most verified lab reports clustering between 16% and 22% total THC, though select cuts may test higher, occasionally reaching 23%-24% under optimal cultivation conditions. Deep Chunk genetics are known for fast flowering time, thick stems, short internodes, excellent resin production, and knock-down potency, making it an archetypal Indica that's earned a reputation as an excellent breeding plant.

Growing Information

Monkey Balls is a resilient, indica-leaning cultivar suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments when humidity is managed carefully. Plants are typically compact with broad, dark leaves and short internodal spacing, with medium vigor and a bushy profile that responds well to topping and low-stress training. Indoor heights commonly range from 60-100 cm (24-39 in) without aggressive training, making it manageable in small tents. Flowering time commonly ranges from 49 to 56 days (7-8 weeks) indoors, with some sources reporting 54-64 days total. The yield of this plant is very high. It's possible to grow this plant indoors and outdoors. A weakness is its susceptibility to botrytis. The strain is considered good for both beginner and experienced growers due to its resilience and predictable characteristics.
