Monkey Grease
Monkey Grease Strain Overview
Monkey Grease is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available about its initial development. Breeders reportedly created Monkey Grease by crossing two potent parent strains to achieve a balanced hybrid with distinctive characteristics. The name references both the strain's sticky resin production and its purported ability to induce a relaxed, 'monkey-like' playfulness in users.
The strain is noted for its dense, resinous buds that are typically medium to large in size. Monkey Grease flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. The buds are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, greasy appearance that likely inspired the strain's name. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The sticky texture makes handling somewhat challenging but indicates high resin production.
Monkey Grease has gained a small but dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain remains relatively uncommon in mainstream dispensaries but can occasionally be found in specialty markets in legal states. Due to its limited commercial availability, much of the information about Monkey Grease comes from grower reports and user experiences rather than formal laboratory testing or widespread cultivation data.

Monkey Grease Strain Growing Information
Monkey Grease is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for experienced growers. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate, averaging 14-16 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant in favorable environments. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing training methods like topping or low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from proper flushing before harvest.
