Monkey Bomb
Also known as: Monkey Bomb OG
Monkey Bomb Strain Overview
Monkey Bomb is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among enthusiasts for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis scene. Its name references both its potent effects ('bomb') and a playful, energetic quality ('monkey'), though the specific inspiration remains undocumented.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex structure that combines traits from its indica and sativa heritage. The flowers are often medium to large in size, displaying a forest green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, which are heavily coated in milky-white trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma is one of its most notable features, combining earthy base notes with fruity and diesel undertones.
Monkey Bomb has established itself as a reliable hybrid that offers a well-rounded experience, making it suitable for various occasions. While not as historically significant as some classic strains, it represents the ongoing innovation in cannabis breeding aimed at creating varieties with specific effect profiles and flavor combinations. The strain's popularity has remained consistent in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets, particularly among users seeking balanced hybrid effects without extreme sedation or stimulation.

Monkey Bomb Strain Growing Information
Monkey Bomb is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors, with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Monkey Bomb prefers a stable climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding. The strain responds well to sea of green (SOG) and screen of green (SCROG) methods to maximize yield.
