As with all Heavyweight autos, Skunky Monkey is an incredibly easy and straightforward plant to grow. As there’s no need to change light cycles, the cultivation process is really simple and the end results are outstanding. Skunky Monkeys growth rate is positively rampant, although the plant will remain short and stocky both indoors and outdoors; yields are at the top end of the auto scale and the branches are lined with glistening, compact buds (monkey nuts!).
Skunky Monkey has an old school taste and aroma; waves of citrus blend with hints of sugar and spice. Likewise, the effect harks back to a golden age; the sativa element ensures a mellow, social high which is long lasting and intensely pleasurable.
Easy to grow, quick finishing and a fantastic finished product; no wonder we’re going ape over Skunky Monkey!
Strain FAQ
Cannabis' spicy flavours come from which terpenes?
Cannabis' spicy flavours come from terpenes such as Caryophyllene, myrcene, humulene, limonene, and pinene. These terpenes contribute to the peppery, herbal, hoppy, and citrusy notes in cannabis.
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
Do high-yielding strains reportedly need different nutrients?
Their dietary needs are said to be more demanding than their lower yielding counterparts. A balanced nutritional mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other micronutrients is said to be needed for strong growth and bud formation.
How does the entourage effect affect these strains?
According to the entourage effect, cannabis ingredients like mild THC, cannabinoids, and terpenes act better together than alone. This combination may reportedly improve the effects of mid-range THC strains.
How have indica strains adapted to the cold environmental conditions?
The tight, compact buds of indica strains are more than just attractive—they protect against the cold. This compact bud structure keeps cold, damp air out, preventing mould and keeping plants healthy in cold weather.
