About Monkey Business
Monkey Business is a balanced hybrid bred from Banana OG x Skunk that offers a citrus-forward flavour and a dependable mid-high THC profile. It does well both indoors and outdoors with appropriate wind protection and training, making it a practical choice for growers around Oxford and other temperate maritime areas.
Monkey Business is a balanced hybrid that leans slightly Sativa. It mixes energetic top-end lift with a calming body finish.
THC sits in the mid to high range making it suitable for regular consumers and those wanting a predictable hit. Expect potency around 18–22 percent under good conditions.
CBD is low but present enough to soften the edges of the high for some users. It is not a high-CBD therapeutic cultivar.
Monkey Business descends from Banana OG x Skunk and carries traits from both parents. Expect fruity terpenes from the Banana line married to the resilience and structure of Skunk.
Seeds are supplied feminised to simplify canopy planning and avoid males. Growers should still monitor for hermaphrodites under severe stress.
This variety is moderately challenging to grow in exposed sites and benefits from proactive support. In windy coastal growing areas staking and windbreaks substantially reduce stress and stem damage.
Flowering completes in roughly eight to ten weeks under typical conditions. Outdoors in the UK you should plan for a late-September to October finish if the season is favourable.
Yield potential is medium to high when plants receive steady nutrients and light. Outdoors in sheltered plots you can expect better colas than in exposed positions.
Plants reach a medium stature with elongated branches that suit training methods. Expect around 1.5 to 2.5 metres outdoors unless topped aggressively.
Indoors Monkey Business responds well to SCROG and LST and finishes reliably in controlled rooms. Outdoors in Oxford choose sheltered microclimates and good staking to protect buds from wind and salt spray.
Growing Monkey Business in Oxford requires attention to wind and moisture due to the local maritime influence. In windy coastal growing areas around Oxford provide shelter, good drainage, and a later inspection for mould risk.
The high starts with a cerebral lift that sharpens mood and focus. Over time a gentle physical relaxation sets in without heavy sedation.
Flavours combine zesty citrus with a warm earthy backbone and a subtle sweetness on the exhale. The profile holds up in vapour and smoke with clear, distinct notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Yes, it is forgiving but not foolproof; novices should use simple supports and choose a sheltered site.
Plan for late September to October in most southern UK locations, allowing extra time in cooler years.
Install windbreaks, stake stems, and consider building a simple shelter to reduce lateral movement and stem fatigue.
A balanced NPK regime with a focus on phosphorus and potassium during flowering gives the best bud development.
Yes, large fabric pots help root air pruning and make it easier to move plants away from salt spray in coastal sites.
It has average mould resistance; good airflow and pruning lower the risk in damp UK summers.
Topping and LST work well to create an even canopy and reduce wind leverage on the central cola.
Expect eight to ten weeks under a steady 12/12 light cycle indoors.
Yes, with careful site selection and early veg training it performs well for short season outdoor cannabis growing where you need to finish by early autumn.
Aphids and spider mites can appear; use biological controls, insecticidal soaps and regular inspections to keep populations down.
