ABOUT STRAIN
The Gorilla family tree might be the most sprawling dynasty in modern cannabis. Nearly every seed bank carries its own spin on the lineage, but Grease Monkey Autoflower from Easy Grow Seeds isn't riding coattails – it brings a fully formed identity to the table. Bred from a cross of GG4 and Cookies and Cream Auto, it carries forward the hallmark density, frost, and potency of its parents while adding a softer temperament, a more nuanced flavor profile, and the convenience of autoflowering genetics that streamline the entire grow.
Taming the Monkey
Grease Monkey Autoflower is a patient, low-drama strain. It responds well to straightforward care, doesn't demand elaborate training setups, and takes minor rookie mistakes in stride. The single most important thing to remember: this one doesn't need heavy feeding. A light nutrient schedule is usually all it takes for the bush to build out tier after tier of sturdy, leaf-loaded branches that eventually reward the grower with a sticky, fragrant harvest.
It's equally unfussy about where it lives. Indoor grows under artificial light and outdoor plots soaking up natural sun both work just fine. An 80-day seed-to-harvest lifecycle puts outdoor runs well within reach for anyone in a temperate climate. Growers lucky enough to live in subtropical zones can realistically pull two or even three harvests per summer by starting seedlings indoors and transplanting once they're established.
Once bloom begins, the strain starts living up to its name. Buds pack on dense and heavy, blanketed in a thick coat of viscously sticky resin, yielding from 550 to 650 g/m2 indoors and 50-350 g/plant outdoors. The scent ramps up hard – a pungent fuel-forward wall that makes carbon filtration non-negotiable for indoor setups. Outdoors, the smell carries easily ten meters or more, so picking a tucked-away spot matters. Fortunately, the compact stature of 60-160 cm makes concealment manageable.
A Mood Reset in Every Jar
Put in even modest effort, and the finish line delivers genuinely premium flower drenched in resin. Hash and other concentrates made from these buds come out exceptional, and the cured flower itself carries a punchy nose where diesel, pine, earth, and a thread of sweetness merge into a single rolling wave.
Unlike some of its harder-hitting Gorilla relatives, Grease Monkey Auto doesn't try to flatten you from the first pull. At a measured pace, 25-27% THC alongside 1% CBD wraps the body in a warm blanket of relaxation while the mind stays sharp and unbothered. Creativity gets a genuine nudge – ideas surface easily and inspiration tends to arrive unannounced. Keeping a notebook within arm's reach is strongly recommended before the spell fades and those flashes of brilliance slip away.
