About Monkey Paw

Monkey Paw crosses Acapulco Gold with Afghani, pairing a classic tropical sativa against a heavy Afghani backbone, and the 80 percent sativa lean shows in a name that nods to old-school lineage rather than modern hype. Lab figures put THC between 16.7 and 19.4 percent, a solid middle-of-the-road potency for a cross this old-school. No grow specifics have been logged for height, yield, or flowering length, so this one is best approached as a genetics story rather than a garden blueprint for now. What is documented is the terpene lineup: caryophyllene and limonene sit at the front, backed by myrcene, pinene, humulene, linalool, and bisabolol, suggesting a nose that mixes peppery spice with citrus brightness. For anyone chasing a heritage sativa-dominant cross with pedigree on both sides, Monkey Paw's parentage alone makes it worth a look.
