Monkey Bread
What is the Monkey Bread strain?
Monkey Bread is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and diesel flavor profile.
Monkey Bread is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix, a prominent American breeder known for creating unique and potent cultivars. The strain was created by crossing two well-known parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and a selected phenotype of Grease Monkey. This genetic combination brings together the resin production and potency of Gorilla Glue #4 with the complex terpene profile and structure of Grease Monkey, resulting in a strain that has gained popularity among both recreational users and cultivators.
The strain's name references its distinctive appearance and aroma. Monkey Bread typically produces dense, chunky buds that are covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a sticky, resinous texture reminiscent of the sweet pastry. The flowers often display deep purple hues mixed with vibrant orange pistils, creating a visually striking contrast. The aroma profile is complex, combining sweet, doughy notes with gassy undertones and hints of tropical fruit.
Monkey Bread is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been used as a parent in several other popular hybrids. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Monkey Bread has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique combination of appearance, aroma, and effects.

How do you grow Monkey Bread?
Monkey Bread is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in suitable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as the heavy, resinous buds develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
