Space Monkey
Space Monkey
Overview
Space Monkey is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing Gorilla Glue #4 with Wookie #15. This skillful fusion combines the award-winning potency of Gorilla Glue with Wookie #15's distinctive lavender characteristics. The result is a strain with extraordinary strain stability and a complex genetic profile that's 85% indica and 15% sativa. Originally developed through careful breeding practices, Space Monkey emerged as a potent hybrid strain by crossing the renowned Gorilla Glue #4 with Wookie #15. Through precise strain evolution and advanced breeding techniques, cultivators successfully combined the best traits of both parent strains, creating a unique genetic profile.
Space Monkey buds have small grape-shaped dusty green nugs with bright orange hairs and a coating of tiny golden amber crystal trichomes. Visually, Space Monkey buds tend to be dense, chunky and covered in a thick layer of white trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The buds exhibit vibrant hues of green, often accentuated by splashes of purple, orange or red. Space Monkey is not available as feminized seeds from its original breeder, so cultivators need to pay attention to their plants as they begin to take shape. These difficult-to-grow ladies reach medium heights and have a shorter-than-average flowering period, so growers who know their craft can expect high yields fast.
