UK Monkey
Also known as: UK Monkey Haze, Monkey Haze
UK Monkey Strain Overview
UK Monkey is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originated in the United Kingdom, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat obscure. The strain is believed to have been developed by British breeders who crossed various Haze genetics with other sativa varieties to create a potent, cerebral strain suited to the UK's climate and growing conditions. While not as widely documented as some commercial strains, UK Monkey has gained a following among sativa enthusiasts for its energetic effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are light to medium green in color, often with orange pistils and a moderate coating of trichomes. The buds are usually dense but not overly compact, with a structure that allows for good airflow. The aroma is one of UK Monkey's most notable features, combining citrus and pine notes with underlying earthy and spicy undertones.
UK Monkey is known for its sativa-dominant effects that users describe as uplifting and energizing, making it popular for daytime use. The strain has gained particular recognition in the UK cannabis community, though it remains relatively rare in international markets. Due to its limited commercial availability, some variation may exist between different growers' versions of this strain.

UK Monkey Strain Growing Information
UK Monkey is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants tend to grow tall (150-200 cm outdoors, 100-150 cm indoors) and require regular pruning and training to manage height. UK Monkey is sensitive to humidity and requires good airflow to prevent mold, particularly during flowering.
