Purple Monkey is a modern, hybrid-indica variety whose exact origins remain undocumented. While the strain is recognized as a descendant of Glue Zauce, historical documentation regarding its specific breeding history is incomplete, and developers have not publicly confirmed a broader ancestral lineage. Consequently, the development of this cultivar remains somewhat mysterious within the botanical record, and no specific breeder has been credited with its creation.
The chemical profile of Purple Monkey is dominated by pinene, followed by a sequence of myrcene, caryophyllene, beta-pinene, limonene, bisabolol, humulene, linalool, and caryophyllene-oxide. This terpene profile tends to encompass a diverse range of aromatic compounds that likely influence its characteristic scent and flavor. Regarding its cannabinoid content, the strain contains an estimated 14.3% THC and an estimated 0% CBD, providing a moderate potency that avoids extreme concentrations.
Purple Monkey produces effects that are both relaxed and focused, making it a functional choice for those seeking to manage pain, stress, or sleep difficulties. In a cultivation setting, this variety is moderate in difficulty and thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a 60-day flowering cycle and a high yield, though it currently has no recorded offspring contributing to its genetic legacy.

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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
