Funky Monkey Seeds

The Funky Monkey Strain: A Perfectly Balanced Hybrid

The Funky Monkey strain doesn't try to impress with flash. Rather, it tends to win growers over with swagger. A cross between Grape Ape and Mendo Purps, this balanced hybrid lives up to its name. Its flavour is similar to overripe bananas with a pungent, musky edge. The aroma is sticky-sweet with that classic "purple funk" vibe that grape-heavy indicas tend to carry.

Funky Monkey's effects follow the same arc: At 12% THC and a 50:50 indica-to-sativa ratio, it offers a quick-lifting euphoric high that melts into a physically heavy, giggly calm. Users report feeling mentally light while physically chilled out: a good match for lazy evenings, low-stakes movie nights, or doing absolutely nothing in particular.

Factor in its easy-to-grow nature, and it's clear why so many cultivators jump at the chance to add Funky Monkey seeds to their cannabis collections.

Growing Tips for Funky Monkey Seeds

This strain is unique in that it stacks dense, oily flowers on short, squat plants with relatively little stretch. This makes it ideal for low-ceiling grow spaces or stealthy backyard setups. It also gives off a telltale scent in the late flowering stage, so consider investing in carbon filters to curb the scent.

Dial In Your Growing Conditions

Watch your humidity levels: The Funky Monkey strain's chunky, resin-coated buds are prone to moisture buildup, especially late in flower. Strong airflow and moderate humidity are key to keeping mould at bay.

Scent control matters: This isn't a subtle strain. Carbon filters or outdoor spacing can help with the potent aroma, which starts creeping into the air around week 6.

Training can help boost canopy coverage: Although your Funky Monkey plants won't stretch much, topping early and using low-stress training (LST) will open up interior bud sites and lead to fuller yields.

Germinating Your Funky Monkey Seeds

Our germination guide is a handy way for beginner growers and seasoned cultivators alike to start their seeds.

Begin by soaking your seeds in a glass of room temperature water for up to 24 hours. When they've sunk or split, tuck them between damp paper towels in a warm, dark spot. Most Funky Monkey seeds sprout in under 3 days. Once you see a taproot about half an inch long, they're ready for your medium of choice. Best of all, if you use our germination guide, your seeds will be protected by our industry-leading germination guarantee.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

With proper care, Funky Monkey plants can produce generous, high-quality yields. Indoor growers can anticipate up to 14–16 ounces per square metre, while outdoor growers can look forward to up to 18–20 ounces per plant in ideal climates.

The Funky Monkey strain flowers quickly, wrapping up in about 55–65 days indoors. Outdoors, plan for harvest in early to mid-October. This is a relatively fast strain with predictable timing, making it great for first-timers or anyone looking to squeeze in a full cycle before the weather turns.

Dominant Terpenes in the Funky Monkey Strain

This strain smells like a basket of bruised fruit in the best possible way. The dominant terpene is myrcene, bringing in that earthy, sedative base. Caryophyllene adds a dash of spice and warmth, while limonene brightens the edges with a sour-citrus snap that cuts through the funk. Together, they build a loud, layered scent profile that's both nostalgic and weirdly addictive.

Dominant Cannabinoids in the Funky Monkey Strain

The Funky Monkey strain has a more modest THC content, which is just right if you're newer to the cannabis world. At 12% THC, it's strong enough to feel, but not so overwhelming that it locks you down. It leans toward the body, with a classic stoned calm that pairs well with chill activities—or total inactivity. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC are present in trace amounts, but THC is doing all the heavy lifting here.
