Monkey Tails
Also known as: Monkey Tail
Monkey Tails Strain Overview
Monkey Tails is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding of notable parent strains. While its exact genetic origins are sometimes debated among cultivators, most sources indicate it was created by crossing Banana Kush with a potent Sativa-dominant strain, though some breeders claim different lineage. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the trend toward exotic, fruit-forward hybrids with balanced effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, elongated buds that often display a distinctive curling or 'tail-like' appearance, which inspired its name. The flowers typically exhibit vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues and are generously coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating visual contrast. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various growing techniques.
Monkey Tails has gained popularity for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation. The strain's aroma profile is particularly notable, featuring a complex blend of tropical fruit, citrus, and earthy undertones. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Monkey Tails has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics and reliable performance.

Monkey Tails Strain Growing Information
Monkey Tails is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October. 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 favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Monkey Tails responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants benefit from regular nutrient feeding but are sensitive to overfeeding, particularly nitrogen.
