Monkey Berry is one of those names that went double — two completely different genetics wearing the same outfit. Most menus list the Exotic Genetix version, but Dank Breeds quietly dropped their own take, and it's a totally separate animal.

Origin 1: Monkey Berry by Exotic Genetix

This is the better-known lineage from Exotic Genetix, the Washington powerhouse behind Cookies & Cream and Kimbo Kush. Their Monkey Berry (sometimes listed as Monkey Berries) hits the sweet spot between candy-shop fruit and gas-station funk. The flavor rolls through strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries before finishing with spicy black pepper and diesel heat from its Gorilla Glue #4 ancestry. The high reportedly starts bright and clear, then flips into a lazy body melt that makes productivity optional. THC hovers around 22%, carried by terpenes limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool for citrus sparkle, spicy warmth, and floral calm.

Origin 2: Monkey Berry by Dank Breeds

Dank Breeds' version leans heavier on the indica side, crossing a vividly colored Plush Berry male with Michigan's GG#4 S1 cut. Expect deep magenta-to-black calyxes in most phenos, a 65-day flowering time, and brawny stems built for yield. It's less documented, harder to find, and often misidentified as the Exotic Genetix cut, but seasoned growers know the difference the moment the purple shows up.

Some online sources and plenty of shops still lump both together, which muddies the water. The Exotic Genetix strain owns the spotlight, while the Dank Breeds cut stays underground — but whichever one you light, you're getting a smoke that blends berries, gas, and attitude in perfect imbalance.
