About Flying Monkey
Flying Monkey is a sativa-dominant hybrid that blends jacky cerebral drive with hardy finishing traits. It suits intermediate growers and performs well indoors and in sheltered outdoor spots, producing citrus-forward flavour and balanced effects.
Flying Monkey is a sativa-dominant hybrid that favours cerebral lift over heavy sedation. The plant shows clear sativa traits in structure and effect.
THC typically ranges between 18-22% depending on phenotype and grow conditions. Users report clear, energetic highs that intensify at the upper end of that range.
CBD content is low, usually under 1%. This means therapeutic benefit comes mainly from the cannabinoid and terpene synergy rather than CBD concentration.
The lineage is Jack Herer x Northern Lights, combining energetic sativa traits with compact, resilient indica genetics. This cross explains both the cerebral lift and tolerant growth habit.
Seeds are commonly offered as feminised or regular, with autoflower variants also available. Autoflower versions shorten the lifecycle but can reduce final yield and potency.
Growing Flying Monkey suits intermediate cultivators who can control temperature and humidity. It tolerates cool northern summers but rewards extra attention to airflow and late-season ripening.
Flowering generally completes in 8-10 weeks under stable indoor conditions. Outdoor finishes depend on late-season weather and may vary in Glasgow.
Yields are moderate to generous when the plant receives consistent nutrients and light. Indoor setups optimised for training can push production toward the higher end of reported ranges.
Plants develop a lanky, branching structure with long internodes typical of sativa-dominant varieties. Expect medium to tall final heights without significant low-stress training.
Indoors it performs well in controlled grow rooms with good circulation and deliberate training. Outdoors in Glasgow it prefers sheltered sites to avoid damp and wind damage.
In Glasgow, Flying Monkey will handle cool northern summers but needs protection from prolonged damp and cold during finishing. Providing extra indoor heat or a dry finish helps secure dense, resinous buds.
Effects start with an uplifting, clear-headed surge that improves focus and sociability. As the session progresses a gentle body relaxation arrives without heavy sedation.
The flavour profile blends bright citrus top notes with earthy pine and a faint spicy herbal finish. Smoke is generally clean and carries a zesty aftertaste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Full-spectrum LED lights with adjustable intensity suit this strain well and help mimic longer daylight hours without excess heat.
Reduce nitrogen and increase phosphorus and potassium as flowering progresses, and monitor leaf colour to avoid overfeeding.
Screen of Green works well to manage height and promote even canopy development on Flying Monkey, especially indoors.
Maintain good airflow, keep RH below 50% in late flower and remove dense inner foliage to reduce moisture pockets.
Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with some amber for balanced effects, and time outdoor harvest to avoid autumn rain.
Yes, feminised seeds are common and simplify canopy planning by eliminating males, making them a good choice for most growers.
Autoflowers shorten total grow time and reduce reliance on photoperiod, but they can produce smaller yields and slightly different cannabinoid profiles.
Good ventilation is essential to control humidity and temperature and to strengthen stems; it is a core element of reliable indoor cannabis grow room setups.
Aphids, spider mites and powdery mildew can appear in cooler, damp conditions so inspect regularly and use biological controls where possible.
Dry slowly at 18-21°C and 45-55% RH for 7-14 days, then cure in jars with regular burping for at least two weeks to preserve flavour and smoothness.
