Monkey Punch Strain Overview
Monkey Punch is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix, a respected breeder known for creating unique and potent cultivars. The strain was created by crossing two notable parent strains: Grape Pie and Banana Punch. This genetic combination results in a well-balanced hybrid that exhibits characteristics from both its indica and sativa lineage, though it typically leans slightly toward the indica side in its effects. The strain first gained attention in the mid-2010s and has since developed a following among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and reliable effects.
The appearance of Monkey Punch buds is often striking, with dense, chunky nuggets that display a range of colors from deep forest green to purple hues, depending on growing conditions. The flowers are typically coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast with the darker foliage. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when handled, indicating high cannabinoid and terpene content.
Notable features of Monkey Punch include its complex aroma and flavor profile, which combines fruity, sweet, and earthy notes. The strain's name references both its genetic lineage and the reported effects, with users describing a sensation that can be both uplifting and physically relaxing. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Monkey Punch has maintained a reputation among experienced cannabis users for its quality and consistency when properly cultivated.

Monkey Punch Strain Growing Information
Monkey Punch is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvests usually occur in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Plants tend to be medium in height, with indica-dominant structure featuring broad leaves and dense bud formation. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, particularly when using training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light exposure. The plants prefer stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, with particular attention needed during flowering to prevent mold in dense buds. Some phenotypes may exhibit color changes (purpling) in cooler temperatures.
