Monster

Monster is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 24-30% on average, with 0.3% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Monster high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Monster a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect chocolate and lemon up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a lemon finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Monster offers a demanding plant best left to experienced growers — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home 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 Monster family — see Gojira Monster and Gorilla Glue #4 x Monster Cookies for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
