Monkey Bars by Gorilla Gas Genetics
Unknown × Unknown
Monkey Bars is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Gorilla Gas Genetics, known for its dense, resinous flowers and potent aroma. This cultivar is favored for its classic gas-forward profile and is suitable for both connoisseurs and those seeking a relaxing experience.
Appearance
Monkey Bars typically produces medium-sized, conical to cylindrical buds with a tight calyx structure. The flowers are often olive to deep forest green, with potential purpling along the bract tips, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. Burnt orange pistils are visible, and heavy resin coverage can give the buds an off-white appearance under light. The buds develop a dense, boulder-like structure with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, reducing trim work and preserving trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Monkey Bars is characterized by a strong diesel-like punch, accompanied by earthy and woodland spice notes. Initial impressions often include petrol and rubber, followed by hints of rich soil and cedar. As the plant ripens, a creamy sweetness and subtle cocoa or toasted nut undertones emerge, balancing the fuel-forward profile. The flavor mirrors the aroma, delivering a prominent diesel hit that transitions into earthy, peppery spice, with cedar and dark chocolate notes on the palate.
Effects
Monkey Bars is reported to offer evening-friendly effects consistent with its indica-leaning genetics. While specific details are sparse, the cultivar is generally associated with a relaxing experience. Some users may experience a subtle energetic lift, but the overall profile leans towards indica-typical tranquility.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Monkey Bars is thought to be dominated by myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and humulene, contributing to its characteristic gas, earth, and spice notes. The THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%. The dense resin production suggests a high concentration of trichomes, making it appealing for solventless extractions.
Growing
Monkey Bars is an indica-leaning cultivar that typically finishes flowering in 56 to 63 days indoors. It exhibits a relatively compact stature, usually between 0.8 and 1.2 meters, with moderate flowering stretch. The plants are known for their dense bud structure, high resin output, and resistance to common indoor stressors. Yields are reported to be between 450 to 600 g per square meter under optimized indoor conditions.
