Origins
Grease Monkey was conceived by Exotic Genetix, a famous Washington-based breeder known for their fabulous genetic creations. With two premium parent strains, namely Cookies & Cream and Gorilla Glue, this cultivar can almost be considered cannabis royalty. This strain has embraced its parents’ soothing tranquillity and potency while evolving its exceptional aroma and flavour characteristics.
Growing conditions
Despite its high resistance to mould and diseases, Grease Monkey is a somewhat challenging strain to grow, demanding quite some attention and maintenance. It can grow equally well both indoors and outdoors, in a humid environment with temperatures ranging between 22-30°C, making it a perfect strain to cultivate during Thai winter. Despite indica dominance, it reaches a sativa height, necessitating regular trimming and pruning. Its smell might be very intense, so if you are farming it indoors, you might need extra ventilation.
The flowering period usually takes between 8 to 9 weeks. With meticulous care, growers can expect an impressive yield, around 500 grams per square meter indoors and up to 600 grams per plant outdoors.
