MSNL Grease Monkey Seeds Review

Genetic heritage is a term that is so commonly thrown around dispensaries these days, that it has lost a little of its significance. Seemingly every single strain on the market is a cross of this banger with that queen, right?

But with Grease Monkey, the lineage just cannot be denied. A gorgeous cross of Gorilla Glue #4 (voted the best strain of all time back in 2019) and Cookies and Cream (multi-cup winner), there is really no way we can write a strain review and not at least mention that this offering is about as strong as they come, genetically.

But somehow, Grease Monkey is even more than her parts, and the marriage of the two top-shelf strains has produced a truly special option for medicinal users and cannabis connoisseurs alike.

Look, Smell, and Taste

We all know that Indica dominant strains offer far superior bud density to their Sativa cousins, but boy oh boy, Grease Monkey is one of the densest and most resinous buds you’ll ever lay your eyes on. Bright green with a plethora of beautiful chocolate brown pistils, the nugs are certainly enough to write home about in their own right.

But also present is an unmistakable nose that hits you like a veritable freight train. Gorilla Glue #4 is where the diesel dominance that we see in the 2023 market originates, and there's no mistaking the fact that GG#4 is present in Grease Monkey. But, unlike a lot of the current top-shelf strains, Grease monkey is a bunch more than just fuel notes.

Adding a sweetness and complexity to the musky diesel tones, there is also just a hint of caramel and something almost chocolate (followed by a pepper undertone) that really adds another layer and helps to differentiate Grease Monkey from her peers.

When lit up, those sweet yet savory notes remain for the most part. The Diesel is certainly more obvious once burning, but not in a bad way at all. It actually works perfectly in combination with the other flavors.

Effects and Medicinal Uses

Grease Monkey is a true powerhouse when it comes to effects. We of course expected as much, but still - this one packs a serious Gorilla punch. While the strain is technically classified as being Indica dominant (60/40), it really does offer up some of the most evenly balanced effects on the market in 2023.

The body high is certainly there, but it’s not in any way overwhelming or fully sedating. Sure, your limbs do get that relaxed and heavy feel that we have all come to expect, but unless you smoke or consume a huge amount, you’ll still remain focused, creative, and in control of your faculties.

Thanks to those lovely broad-spectrum effects, Grease Monkey has a plethora of medicinal uses - even beyond the recreational market. Anxiety, pain relief, stress reduction, and PTSD are all certainly treatable, but the standout is the reduction of nausea and the increase in appetite that this strain offers. Perfect for users looking for a reduction in digestive issues, and for those who need help enjoying their food after heavy treatment.

Growing Tips

We will keep this section short and sweet. as Grease Monkey is honestly a dream to grow. She works well in almost every growing situation, and with almost every medium. But, she will do best with an indoor hydroponic setup (as will most cannabis strains).

Bottom Line

This instant Northern Cali classic has certainly made her mark on the market already, and it’s safe to say that Grease Monkey will still be one of the most sought-after strains right up until the end of 2023. As we said, you can’t really go wrong with this one, and if you are lucky enough to get your hands on some, you’re in for a real treat. Enjoy!
