Gorillas And Monkeys by Cannabeans Genetics
Unknown
Gorillas and Monkeys is a predominantly indica cannabis cultivar developed by CannaBeans Genetics. Drawing inspiration from both "Gorilla" and "Monkey" lineage motifs, this strain is characterized by high resin production and deeply relaxing effects. It aims to provide a potent, indica-leaning experience with a complex aromatic profile.
Appearance
Gorillas and Monkeys typically exhibits a stout, indica-leaning structure with short to medium internodes and strong lateral branching, resulting in a bushy canopy. The flowers often form dense, conical stacks with compact, golf-ball to egg-shaped nuggets. Under cooler temperatures, the plant may display purple hues against a deep green background, and its trichome coverage is notably robust, giving it a silvery-white sheen.
The leaves are broad, characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids, with thick petioles and substantial leaflets. This morphology makes the plant manageable indoors, suitable for training techniques like SCROG. Pistils mature to a bright amber-orange, contrasting with the calyxes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Gorillas and Monkeys is a complex blend, often described as earthy and funky with sour undertones, reminiscent of dank, pungent signatures. Notes of damp cedar, pine needles, and fresh soil are layered over hints of fermented fruit and diesel. This combination of foresty wood and sour-fuel notes is a hallmark of the Gorilla/Monkey family.
On the palate, the flavor profile builds from a resinous, woody base, incorporating herbal spice and citrus zest. Some phenotypes may present a subtle sweetness or vanilla-cream undertone. The inhale is typically thick, while the exhale can leave a peppery, citrus-peel finish with a lingering funk.
Effects
Consistent with its indica-forward heritage, Gorillas and Monkeys is reported to induce sedative body effects and a calm, steady onset. The high is generally described as soothing and deeply relaxing, making it a suitable choice for unwinding. Users may also experience a creative uplift alongside the physical relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Gorillas and Monkeys is limited, indica-leaning Gorilla hybrids commonly test between 18–26% THC, with total cannabinoids often exceeding this range when minor cannabinoids are considered. CBD content is typically less than 1%.
The terpene profile is shaped by compounds such as Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, and Humulene, which contribute to the strain's distinct aroma, flavor, and effects, including its calming and creative properties.
Growing
Gorillas and Monkeys is described as having a manageable stature for indoor cultivation, making it a good candidate for various training techniques. Its indica-leaning architecture suggests a preference for environments that support dense bud formation and robust trichome production. Growers can expect a sticky, resin-drenched flower.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by CannaBeans Genetics, Gorillas and Monkeys is a mostly indica cultivar. While its exact parentage is not publicly documented, the name strongly suggests a conceptual cross between "Gorilla" lines, known for high THC and resin output, and "Monkey" lines, recognized for their funky aromatics and deep relaxation. This combination aims to deliver a potent, resinous indica with a complex, dank aroma.
