Monsterbud

Genetics of Monsterbud strain

Monsterbudis a sativa dominant hybrid (70% sativa - 30% indica)born from a crossing White Widow x Amnesia. This is a quick flowering strain with a flowering period of 9 weeks.

Monsterbud feminized seeds

Growers Choice's Monsterbud seeds only produce female plants, with a great growth vigourosity thanks to its sativa haze parental. Indoors this allows growers to safe up to 1 week of vegetative stage (compared with indica dominant strains), and outdoors this lets you sproud the seeds later to safe up to 2 months taking care of plants.

Another characteristic of this strain is its high consumption of light and nutrients to deliver best results. While indoors it is recommended to use a minimum of 800w per sqm, outdoors it is recommended to grow her in areas with high luminic exposure, where crops will be significally larger.

Its White Widow parental brings not only a powerful effect also an spectacular flower density and resin production, besides high resistance against mold (superior to average).

Monsterbud by Growers Choice in vegetative stage

Monsterbud is a beast in any of its different aspects, and in vegetative stage is not an exception. Due its haze heritage, this strain developes so quick, getting good-sized plants in few days/weeks.

This plant reaches high heights outdoors, with individuals that easily reach 3,5-4,5 meters tall if you let her grow naturally.

The feeding must be aggressive as it consumes more nutrients than average, specially Iron, magnesium and zinc, so it really needs rich substrates to get desired results.

Indoors this strain does good in SOG and SCROG type of gardens, delivering good yields in both cases. Outdoors we aim you to prune oftenly along vegetative stage to promote horizontal growth, what will help getting better light penetration deriving in higher yields. In addition, if you prune your plants more than once during growing stage, the total height of your plant will be lower, becoming more discreet to the eyes of your neighbours.

Blooming Monsterbud indoors and outdoors

Indoors Monsterbud plants usually take 10-15 days in adapt to changes in photoperiod of light. Once these days pass by, plants will start its bloom phase and will be ready to harvest in 9-10 weeks since light cycle changed.

It is specially during this transition period that Monsterbud will stretch its internodal space, almost doubling its height so fast.

Outdoors Monsterbud grows until Early-Mid August, moment in which starts to flower, to be ready to harvest in Mid. October (in northern hemisphere).

This strain really needs high intensity of light, and abondant nutrients to source with the best of herself, but when grower feeds her properly she won't have rivals. Besides its high resistance against mold makes her perfect to grow almost everywhere, getting always heavy yields.

As a nutrient devourer, she does not usually suffer from nutrient-locks, so she is a good choice for those less experienced growers. You only need to worry about grow her in a rich substrate, and she will reward you with a top shelf amazing crop.

Due its characteristics it is a good choice for guerrilla growers in areas where light is not a limit, and plants can reach a natural feed source.

Yield of Monsterbud by Growers Choice cannabis plants

As we already commented Monsterbud is mega yielder of big-sized dense flowers. Its White Widow and haze heritage makes the flower formation to be big and dense with copious amounts of resin covering its flowers.

Being a genetics that reacts good to prunings, and to multiple advanced grow techniques, being easy to get good yields, no matter your growing style.

In our case the best yield was got growing her in SOG, with 16 plants per sqm in 5,5 liter pots, and only 15 days of vegetative stage. In these conditions, with modern light fixtures it is not rare to get yields over 750 g/m2.

The results in SCROG were also satisfactory, but required from a longer vegetative period to cover the same grow space as we worked with only 4 plants per sqm in 25 liter pots.

Outdoors if you want to get highest yields, our recommendation is to always sproud the seeds in late April, or early May. This way plants can develope maximal before starting to flower in mid. August. Arrived to mid October you will have giant plants ready to source you with yields up to 3 kg per plant.

Taste and smell of Monsterbud weed

Monsterbud taste is clearly spicy (heritage from White Widow), while the aroma is haze dominant with tones from Widow. A very interesting and powerful blend, that forces growers to use good equipments to remove any odor released by plants when grown indoors. Outdoors, at sunset she releases a fragance that can travel far away.

Effect of Monsterbud cannabis flowers and resin extracts

With THC levels of 21-25%, the effect of Monsterbud is couch-locking, powerful and longlasting. An ideal genetics for those who require relax after long journeys of work and stress.

You are facing a strain that helps against insomnia and also to relax your mind and get rid of worries.

Tips to grow Monsterbud

The first we are going to tell you if you are considering to grow Monsterbud is that this strain really forgives many errors of growers, but it also demands some extra nutrients.

Another advise we can give you is to prune your plants in vegetative stage. Being a haze hybrid, that can grow super tall if grown naturally, its structure can become a problem both indoors and outdoors.

It will be always better to apply prunings to your mains, to help enhace horizontal growth. This way you will avoid any possible stem brakes, and even improve your final yields thanks to a better overall control of all parts of plant (remember that controlling a plant with over 6 feet height is difficult).

Another technique you can use and get huge yield improvement is supercropping.

This is a plant that does good in warm climates, but also in cold climates, even though it will be always better to keep your plants as warm as possible, specially during last stages of bloom. If you know that in your area temperatures decrease by the end of September maybe growing her in a greenhouse is not a bad idea.

Indoors a technique you can use in SOG gardens is to grow seeds straight to 12/12 from germination. Its sativa heritage and the qualities of this strain makes from it a perfect choice to get good crops within this technique that will skip selecting and keeping a motherplant, besides rooting clones.

A point you should not forget cleaning your bottoms once plants start to flower. The fact is removing those bottom branches that consume energy and resources of plants, will help them to send all their energy straight up to the tops, where it will be used in a more efficient and productive way.

Does this mean it's not worth the chance of growing her? No way! This strain has many Pros that sure many will enjoy.

Refferring to its growth, although it's not a difficult strain to grow, nor too demanding, it really needs some cares to bring its best yields, so you should be aware of any possible lack of nutrients if you don't want your crop to be notoriously lower.
