Banana punch, TheWholesomeMonkey, July.

/u/ShirtStainedBird

I wouldn't think so but not sure. It isn't tight and hard like that and when you break it up the trichs have had enough room to grow. I've found pgr stuff the structure is so tight that once you bust it open the amount of trichomes you can see just plummets. ​ Again it is possible I don't run a lab or anything but tastes plenty clean to me!

Sophie's Breath by Beautifulbcflowers sourced from greasegodz via thewholesomemonkey November 2020

/u/38thirtyeight38

Sophie's Breath • Lineage: Sophisticated Lady (Sophie's Cut) x Mendovreath F2 • Bred by Unknown • Cultivated by @beautifulbcflowers • Sourced from @greasegodz via @thewholesomemonkey • ?? • Bag appeal - mostly smalls with some medium sized nugs that are nicely trimmed with a great cure leaving them quite dense but with a nice squish to them feel very greasy to the touch and are also very sticky and leave your fingers feeling dusty from handling them. These sexy buds are made up of mostly purple with some being lighter but most is very dark and appears black with some nice light and darker greens and orange/rust colored pistils. There is a dusty and resinous coating of milky white trichomes with plenty of heads still visibly intact. • ??? • Smell/Taste/Burn - the smell upon cracking the can is super dank with a gassy overtone and those familiar Breath terps of I have cone to love so damn much and has a dank earthy finish beneath all that gas. The taste is amazing with a sweet earthy Breath inhale and has spicy vanilla and some gassy notes on the exhale. Joints burn perfectly even and grease up nicely about ¼ way through and produce a thin outer layer of darker colored ash that is pure white in the center which has happened to me every single time I have had this strain, regardless of who grew it. • ? • High - slaps good starting above the shoulders with a very euphoric and stoney head high with strong pressure build up in the entire head but mostly focused behind the eyes leaving them feeling instantly weighted. Quickly it becomes a full body high as a relaxing body load comes on getting increasingly stronger until you are left couchlocked while rendering chronic pain non existent. The already potent full body stone gets even stronger and makes this sativa feel much more like an indica. • ? • Overall this was a great cut of Sophie's Breath with great bag appeal, a wicked terp profile, a semi clean burn, and a nice potent stone. I rate this.......... • 9.6/10 More pics here ? https://www.instagram.com/p/CIwj-jps-OP/?igshid=xqd8ay6qqc1r

Gelato 45 by Beautifulbcflowers sourced by greasegodz via thewholesomemonkey November 2020

/u/38thirtyeight38

Gelato 45 • Lineage: GSC x Sunset Sherbet • Bred by Unknown • Cultivated by beautifulbcflowers • Sourced from greasegodz via thewholesomemonkey • Bag appeal - these small buds are nicely trimmed and are immaculately cured leaving them quite dense with a greasy feel to them and are nice and fresh inside. Some light and dark greens but mostly made up of some light and also some very dark purple with popping orange pistils. The layer of resinous trichomes that top these nugs are frosty white looking and have plenty of heads still visibly intact. Gorgeous bag appeal on this cut! • ??? • Smell/Taste/Burn - classic gelato profile that is nice and loud upon cracking the can filling the air with creamy minty overtones and doughy citrus as well as some gas. The taste also loud has a strong minty overtone and creamy dough with light citrus undertones along with some earthy notes on the exhale. Joints burn perfectly even and build up an oil ring about ¼ way through while producing a mostly white ash with some minor peppering. • ? • High - this one kicks off with an extremely euphoric and uplifting high melting away stress, depression, and or anxiety in no time. No matter what this one leaves me very chatty everytime I smoke it making it great to smoke with others and is definitely one of those crowd pleasing strains as well. Perfect to smoke any time of day for me however, novice consumers may feel somewhat lethargic from it and even leaves my eyelids pretty heavy after smoking. • ? • Overall this was an amazing cut of Gelato 45 with phenomenal bag appeal, a delicious terp profile that translates perfectly, a clean burn, and a potent stone. I rate this........ Quality 9.75/10 More pics of this gem here ? https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6T7k5sLKq/?igshid=1gfq2qq4ji0nt

Papaya Punch - The Wholesome Monkey - October 2020

/u/whiskeymoustache

Fruity nose, smoke is smooth. Salt and pepper ash, the high is not heavy but a relaxed sativa. Uplifting and chill, good for a morning smoke. $40 quarter after $25 referral bonus. Probably wouldn't grab this one again, I prefer the Red Congolese as a morning smoke and this strain doesn't really fit into any other part of my day. Maybe a Sunday morning smoke. The best part is the unique smell, really fruity and something else I cannot describe. Q: 7 V: 5

Frostmonster by @The Wholesome Monkey this stuff right off the hop gives you a very sweet gas smell, once you look into the bag you notice a over abundance of very nice trichomes! Once busted up and inhaled this stuff give you a very nice high that leans more on the Mac side of the high! Honestly a very very nice quality bud! Great job guys!

The Wholesome Monkey Review - Flower & Concentrates - October 2020

Thechronickid00

MoM The Wholesome Monkey Shipping/Packaging I opted for the same day delivery being local to them in the Toronto area which was quick and discreet with a phone call confirmation before drop off. Everything was packaged professionally as if it were being sent through mail services. Layer Cake https://i.imgur.com/w30hz1i.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RdbuEiu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RkLz0Ko.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1wQGeDV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LASsHRe.jpg It's been a while since last trying The Wholesome Monkey and this Layer Cake is part of their new lineup of quad rated flower. They are offered in 3.5 gram increments with the option to add any flavour of Backwoods. I went with the Russian Creams as they are definitely one of my favourites. Gorgeous bag appeal on these greasy, colourful nugs with a blend of dark and light greens that are highlighted by purple streaks and purple accented sugar leaf. All coated in a layer of fat, milky trichomes and dark orange pistils. Dense and super sticky with an excellent cure and trim. It grinds up beautifully and rolls itself in a joint. A crossing of the extremely potent GMO x Wedding Cake x TK Skunk (Triangle Kush X Skunk #1) Based on the lineage I already knew what kind of funkyness I was in for. Super funky to be exact with those pungent GMO terps really coming through and giving it a dank, earthy backing with some added hints of wedding cake. The taste is extremely similar to how it smells but even more pronounced as the GMO dominates the flavour and can even come across as overwhelming or off putting but only in the best way possible. Heavy hitting stuff, delivering a lung punching smoke that isn't harsh just super thick. It burns with a lovely white ash and even a small joint will produce a crazy oil ring. Lastly, the high. Anything with GMO usually messes me up and this Layer Cake definitely did the trick and then some. Potent and powerful effects that start off in the form of a spacey, zoned out head high. Very easy to get distracted as it makes the mind wander from subject to subject. It eventually settles into a relaxing, couch locking buzz that definitely has the potential to put one to bed early depending on tolerance and amount smoked. This one was a first for me and it surely won't be a last as it left a great impression. Frost Monster https://i.imgur.com/YxCmDkm.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KWh4IsN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/scZOErJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/M0TzrcJ.jpg This Frost Monster from TWM is a mouthwatering cross of MAC x Layer Cake. It's the first i've ever heard of this strain and I have to say it's right down my alley especially as it contains the Layer Cake that I reviewed prior. First off, the appeal is superb, with immaculately trimmed buds that are dense, sticky, and cured to perfection. Lovely variety of colours, with soft minty greens highlighted by purple streaks and orange hairs. Heavily frosted with tons of milky white trichomes that simply allow the bud to sparkle when broken up. Right off the bat you can tell that this flower was grown with love and care. The aroma and taste are exactly what would be expected from this cross. A pungent mix of sweet cookies followed by sharp GMO undertones of earth and herbs followed by a certain creamyness. Real fragrant and flavourful, delivering a smoke that lingers long on the pallet as well as in the air. Very smooth as well, allowing for big bong rips with ease but the heaviness of the smoke is definitely felt in the chest. The burn was terrific as well, producing a significant oil ring and fluffy white ash. When it comes to the high It offers a myriad of potent effects that all begin with a powerful mental stone that is extremely dreamy and spaced out. The type of high where you don't want to do anything that requires thinking as collecting thoughts can seem like a task and it just makes more sense to throw on some music instead. Euphoric and mood elevating with just enough of a relaxing vibe to feel slightly couch locked but never had me the least bit tired. I'm starting to realize MAC crosses just rule and this one definitely proved it again. Strawberry Shortcake Live Resin https://i.imgur.com/61Efg4b.jpg https://i.imgur.com/PlCTYWC.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ueuxRJv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JplJ41v.jpg This Strawberry Shortcake Live Resin by Honeydip Extracts arrived in a glass concentrate jar that was then sealed in plastic. Opening the lid reveals it's golden yellow appearance and saucy consistency that contains a fair share of small to medium sized diamonds. Very easy to handle and work with as the diamonds are coated in a gooey, saucy goodness and stick to the dab tool effortlessly. A very accurate terpene profile to it's name as this live resin smells like sweet, creamy strawberries. Reminds me more of candy than cake as it's so fruity. I found the flavours to really come through as well, offering sweet notes of strawberries with slight earthy accents. A tiny bit goes a long way and produces clouds that feel effortless on the exhale as it's so smooth. The high is very elevated and uplifted, making one feel happy and outgoing like a peppy sativa can. It's hybrid characteristics eventually add some mild relaxation to the mix but it never feels heavy or sedating. Perfect for a daytime dab session as it promotes being active and functional all while offering a decent potency. Super Lemon Haze Diamonds & Sauce https://i.imgur.com/iEmhkI7.jpg https://i.imgur.com/31kcycr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zvc3C9T.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wIz9m55.jpg A very nice colour and consistency to this Super Lemon Haze by Honeydip Extracts. Arriving in one juicy glob containing a multitude of micro diamonds that are swimming in sauce. Extremely easy to handle and scoop up as it's not runny and the sauce holds the diamonds to the dab tool like glue. A tiny bit got up into the plastic seal but it was very minimal and easily gathered. The smell upon opening the lid was like actual lemon candy or a lemon head to be exact. Very sweet and citrusy and it tasted the exact same when dabbed. It dabbed clean and wasn't necessarily harsh but the vapour it produced was lung expanding and acrid which I've found before with haze strains. Still quite tasty and enjoyable at around 500 on the enail. An extremely heady and hazy high that's felt right after the first dab. The energetic vibe it offers and tendency to be very talkative can't be ignored as it's super uplifting and social. Definitely sativa dominant in every way with very few physical traits other than a slight relaxation towards the end of the high.

Violator - The Wholesome Monkey - Early August

/u/RyguyG8

I enjoy smoking Violator as a before bed smoke. This batch of Violator definitely helped with my sleep. The smell was decent, I got Sweet Kush, wood and spice. The smell could have been stronger but it is definitely there when you open the bag. Nugs are trimmed well and are dense. The smoke was smooth and tasted like sweet kush with a hint of woody spice. The high relaxes me and makes my body feel heavy. I don't feel chatty and really only feel like going to bed at that point. I got this strain and Lemon Sour Diesel for $75 at 3.5 g/ strain. Definitely a little pricey but I wasn't disappointed in the product. Q 8/10 V 7/10

Gelato #33 "Larry Bird" - The Wholesome Monkey - June 23, 2020

/u/RyguyG8

This strain has got bag appeal for days. The pictures on the site showed frosty dark purple buds and that's exactly what I got. The buds were all medium sized and well trimmed. The buds are also fairly dense and the purple colour and excess of trichomes are hard to ignore. After opening the bag I got a strong fruity/berry odour. The smoke was smooth and you can really taste the fruitiness of this strain. The high hit me harder than what I'm used to from a Gelato, making this one more of an after 8pm kind of smoke for me. The high made me chatty, happy and allowed me to focus on video games but I didn't feel like getting out of my chair so there is definitely some strong relaxation effects going on here. This strain is a little on the expensive side ($75 for 7g) but I wasn't disappointed by my purchase, I'm going to get this stuff again and use it sparingly. Quality 9.5/10 Value 7.5/10

Red Congolese - The Wholesome Monkey - June 23, 2020

/u/RyguyG8

I've had Red Congo from TWM in the past and have enjoyed it every time. This batch of Red Congo is definitely different than the last and in my opinion better. The buds were large and dense, the bud in the picture above weighed over 5 grams. The buds also had patches of purple adding to the bag appeal. The smell was earthy and sweet, it kinda reminded me of lambs breath. The smoke was smooth and tasted like it smelled .usty earth with a sweet finish. The high is energetic and puts you in a great mood. This is one of my go to wake and bake strains but is also effective in the afternoon. At 180 for an oz it's worth the money. Quality 9/10 Value 7.5/10
