Monkey Bread 1 strain guide
Monkey Bread 1, often written Monkey Bread #1, is an indica-leaning hybrid of Grease Monkey and Girl Scout Cookies. People know it for a dessert-like smell of chocolate, vanilla and spice, and a calm, relaxed feel.
Where does Monkey Bread 1 come from?
Two strain databases both list Monkey Bread 1 as a cross of Grease Monkey and the Forum Cut of Girl Scout Cookies. One strain database credits Certified Portland, an Oregon grower, with the strain. Another database puts it at about 70% indica.
The name causes some confusion. Other seed companies sell plants called Monkey Bread with different parents, such as a Grease Monkey and Platinum Cake cross, so a Monkey Bread from one producer may not match another's. The #1 usually points to this Grease Monkey and Cookies version.
What does Monkey Bread 1 smell and taste like?
The smell is sweet and bakery-like: cocoa, vanilla and warm spice, with an earthy, hashy base. Some people also notice peach or honey, and a pungent edge that likely comes from the Grease Monkey side.
Published results most often list caryophyllene first, followed by humulene and myrcene. Caryophyllene brings a peppery spice, humulene a woody, earthy note and myrcene a soft, musky depth. The taste is usually described as chocolate and spice, a bit like shortbread.
Monkey Bread 1 effects: what people report
Most people describe Monkey Bread 1 as calming and relaxing, with a euphoric mood and, for some, a chatty side early on. As it settles it tends to feel heavier, and plenty of reviewers mention the munchies or feeling sleepy later.
These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and a few people mention feeling anxious.
How strong is Monkey Bread 1?
Listings place Monkey Bread 1 anywhere from about 20% to 32% THC, so it's generally a strong strain, with very little CBD. One strain database also notes a small amount of CBG.
That's a wide range, which is why the label on your product matters more than the strain name. If you're new to it, start small and give it time.
Buying Monkey Bread 1 in Canada
Because several different plants share the Monkey Bread name, check the label for the producer and, if it's listed, the lineage. Grease Monkey and Girl Scout Cookies is the version this page describes.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date too, since fresher flower keeps more of that chocolate and vanilla smell.
Monkey Bread 1 vs Grease Monkey
Grease Monkey is one of Monkey Bread 1's parents, and you can tell. Grease Monkey leans gassy and skunky with a sweet vanilla side, while Monkey Bread 1 shifts toward chocolate, spice and baked goods, likely thanks to its Girl Scout Cookies parent. Both are indica-leaning and reported as heavy and relaxing, and both are often saved for the evening. If you like gas up front, go with Grease Monkey. If the dessert side sounds better, try Monkey Bread 1.
