Marilyn Monroe

Just as iconic as Marilyn Monroe, the actress is the iconic American strain. Behind this Hollywood-inspired hybrid are at least three different origin stories.

Origin #1: Marilyn Monroe by LIT Farms

Marilyn Monroe by Cali breeders LIT Farms is a stunner with deep dark purple flowers and frosted calyxes. This cross of Divine Gelato and Project 4516 was a collaborative breeding project created with Grandiflora Genetics. Although there are few sightings of this strain in the world, it's reportedly an indica-dominant hybrid.

Origin #2: Marilyn Monroe by The Bakery Genetics

The Bakery Genetics released their version of Marilyn Monroe for Halloween 2024. This is a cross of a male F2 Giraffe Pussy (specifically the Big Red pheno) and a Forbidden Fruit female. The buds this strain produces can have hot pink, purple, and magenta highlights, a nod to its namesake's world-renowned luscious red lipstick. In this version of events, Marilyn captures a stand-out skunky, gassy, and pungent aromatic profile.

Origin #3: Marilyn Monroe by Boulder Medical Marijuana

Finally, Boulder Medical Marijuana has created a Marilyn Monroe from a JFK and Mother's Finest cross. This is a more balanced hybrid than the others, with intensely euphoric and giggly effects, albeit with profoundly relaxing qualities.
