Monkey Berries is a modern, hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the parent strain Plush Berry. This variety is cultivated over a 65-day flowering cycle and maintains a moderate difficulty level, making it well-suited for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this genetic line, which has contributed to the development of notable offspring such as Kopi Luwak and Teacher.
The chemical profile of Monkey Berries is explicitly defined by a specific hierarchy of terpenes, led by dominant limonene and followed by caryophyllene and pinene. The secondary and tertiary notes consist of beta-pinene, myrcene, humulene, terpinolene, bisabolol, and linalool. This complex combination of terpenes defines the sensory experience, providing a distinct aromatic and flavor profile characteristic of this specific hybrid-indica lineage.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, Monkey Berries is primarily utilized for its ability to produce relaxed, calm, and focused effects. These therapeutic characteristics make the strain effective for users seeking support with pain, stress, and sleep management. Given its balanced hybrid-indica profile, it remains a consistent choice for those prioritizing these specific physical and cognitive outcomes.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
