Brass Monkey

Brass Monkey is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. THC testing typically lands between 24% and 30%, pairing raw strength with a 0.4% CBD content. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Brass Monkey high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. Neither side ever overpowers the other, which is exactly why well-bred hybrids like this one earn permanent shelf space. Because of these effects, Brass Monkey is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

On the palate, expect pine and coffee up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a coffee finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has dense grape-shaped forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, fiery orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Brass Monkey is a demanding plant best left to experienced growers, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Dialed-in climate control and careful pruning are repaid with exceptional bag appeal and top-shelf potency. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Brass family — see Spent Brass for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
