Monkey Skunk is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. It produces medium to high yields, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant.
