Monkey Grease
What is the Monkey Grease strain?
Monkey Grease is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
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.

The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates.
