Grease Monkey

An old mechanic’s work shirt is how one Leafly reviewer describes the smell of Grease Monkey, the strain that gives this flower its name.

GG4 crossed with Cookies and Cream

Leafly says Exotic Genetix created Grease Monkey by crossing GG4 with Cookies and Cream, and AllBud gives the same parents as Gorilla Glue #4 and Cookies & Cream. Leafly lists Donkey Butter and Slapz as strains bred from it.

Sweet, skunky diesel and nutty vanilla

AllBud describes a taste of sweet, skunky diesel with nutty vanilla, and an earthy, pungent aroma carrying sugary skunk, diesel and vanilla notes. Leafly calls Grease Monkey a sweet hybrid with earthy and skunky overtones, and its flavour tags are skunk, earthy and pungent. The Leafly reviewer who mentioned the work shirt also notes a slightly spicy hit on the throat.

Fluffy, tapered buds and a caryophyllene lead

AllBud describes light, fluffy, tapered forest-green buds carrying only a few orange hairs and a dusting of small, clear trichomes. In Leafly’s terpene profile, caryophyllene is dominant, followed by limonene and myrcene.

A creeper, in AllBud’s words

AllBud calls the high a creeper that builds behind the eyes, then brings euphoric relaxation. Leafly describes a lazy, munchie-fuelled body buzz, and its reviewers’ top two reports are relaxed and hungry. On THC, Leafly shows about 22% and CBG of 1%, and AllBud’s range is 25% to 27%, with CBD near 1%. AllBud also describes Grease Monkey as 70% indica and 30% sativa, a split explained in our indica, sativa and hybrid guide. Both sites put the strain at 4.6: Leafly from 602 ratings and AllBud from 111 votes.

Health Canada‘s lower-risk tip for smoking is to start with 1 or 2 puffs, using flower at 10% THC or under, and to wait as long as 30 minutes for the full effect to build.
