🌞 Outdoor Setup

Climate: Warm, dry, and sunny
Soil: Light and well-draining
Harvest: End of September

Environment	Height	Yield	Flower Time	Difficulty
Indoor	40–50″	1.5–1.65 oz/ft²	8–9 weeks	Moderate
Outdoor	40–50″	2–5 oz/plant	End Sept	Moderate

Germination: Starting Your Grease Monkey Grow

Start your seeds using the paper towel method.

Keep towels damp, not soaked
Sandwich them between two plates for warmth and darkness
Maintain ~70–75 °F until the taproot appears
Transplant gently ½ inch deep, root-tip down

⚠️ Avoid sealing in plastic, excess humidity can cause rot.

Week 1: Seedling Stage

Your seedlings are delicate but full of potential. Focus on creating a stable environment.

Keep humidity 65–70% and temperature 72–77°F
Light intensity should be soft to prevent stretching
Water minimally – damp, not soaked
Provide gentle airflow to build stem strength

You’ll see cotyledons followed by your first true leaves by the end of the week.

Week 2: Early Veg + Optional LST

Your plant starts gaining momentum, thickening stems and showing early branching.

Begin low stress training (LST) to encourage side growth
Feed with ¼-strength veg nutrients
Maintain humidity around 60–65%
Keep temps between 73–78°F

This early training will help shape your plant into a compact, high-yielding bush.

Week 3: Veg Expansion

Growth accelerates now. The canopy widens, and internodes space out.

Height may reach 8–12 inches
Increase nutrients to ½-strength veg feed
Keep humidity at 55–60%
Temperature steady at 73–78°F

Topping or fimming during this stage promotes multiple colas and a strong structure before bloom.

Week 4: Pre-Flower & Final Training

Your Grease Monkey is now sturdy and ready to bloom.

Finish any topping or defoliation to open the canopy
Remove lower branches that won’t get enough light
Drop humidity to 50–55%
Keep temps around 72–78°F

This is your final week of training before switching to flower. Aim for even light coverage across all bud sites.

Week 5: Flower Begins

Time to flip to 12/12 lighting. Stretch begins but remains moderate.

Watch for white pistils forming at nodes
Aroma shifts to diesel-sweet tones
Maintain RH 45–50% and temps 72–78°F
Transition to bloom nutrients (higher P & K, lower N)

The first buds will start forming by the end of this week.

Week 6: Bud Sites & Trichome Development

Bud formation ramps up quickly now.

Trichomes start forming on sugar leaves
Aroma intensifies: earthy diesel with a hint of vanilla
Keep RH 45% and temps 70–77°F
Maintain bloom feeding + Cal-Mag

This is where the frosty character of Grease Monkey really starts to show.

Week 7–8: Bud Fattening & Aroma Surge

Buds bulk up and resin production peaks.

Dense colas form along every branch
Fragrance grows stronger: diesel, vanilla, and cream
Keep RH 40–45% to prevent mold
Temps: 68–75°F ideal
Support heavy branches with stakes or ties

By the end of week 8, your canopy should be thick, sticky, and glistening.

Week 9: Final Flush & Ripeness Check

The finish line is near.

Begin flushing with plain pH-adjusted water
Keep temps 65–70°F and RH 35–40%
Check trichomes: mostly cloudy with some amber
Pistils darken and curl in, harvest window is open

Patience now pays off in smooth smoke and rich flavor.

Harvest & Curing

Dry: Hang plants for 10–14 days at 60°F and 55% RH
Cure: Move to glass jars, burping daily for the first week
Over time, flavors refine into sweet vanilla-diesel smoothness

Proper curing turns your harvest from good to unforgettable.
