Strain Overview
Monaco Feminized Cannabis Seeds by Nine Weeks Harvest represent a modern hybrid that merges visual appeal, bold aroma, and impressive structure. Monaco seeds are bred from the cross of Azulcar #22 (Blue Sherb x Runtz) and Lemon Cherry, producing a hybrid that showcases vivid coloration and dense, candy-sweet buds. Designed for growers who appreciate both yield and terpene expression, Monaco seeds deliver medium-to-tall plants with striking hues and substantial production. This strain quickly earned a reputation among Blue Sherb enthusiasts for its unique “blue candy” profile and consistent performance across growing environments.
Genetics and Lineage
The foundation of Monaco seeds lies in the careful pairing of Azulcar #22 and Lemon Cherry, bringing together two highly sought-after genetics. Azulcar #22 contributes the colorful Blue Sherb x Runtz lineage, known for its sweet, fruity aroma and vibrant blue-purple tones. Lemon Cherry amplifies these traits with added density, tighter flower structure, and enhanced candy sweetness. The result is a hybrid that perfectly balances structure, aroma, and visual intensity. Nine Weeks Harvest selected this genetic combination to heighten the candy-forward terpene profile while maintaining the resin-rich quality and growth characteristics that define both parents.
Growth Characteristics
Monaco seeds produce medium-to-tall plants with a high stretch, making them ideal for growers who can manage vertical space. During flowering, plants exhibit strong upward growth and form chunky spear-shaped colas that develop beautifully under proper light exposure. The coloration ranges from deep blues and purples to shades of green, depending on environmental factors such as temperature and nutrient balance. The resin has a sandy texture, and the overall flower appearance exudes premium bag appeal. Due to the plant’s vigorous stretch, growers are advised to provide trellis support, as Monaco tends to stack weight heavily toward the upper canopy.
Flowering Time and Yield
Monaco seeds have a flowering period of approximately 8 to 9 weeks, with harvest-ready plants offering medium to high yields depending on grow conditions. Select phenotypes have been noted to achieve significant weight per light, especially the standout “Blue Jam” cut found in Los Angeles, which was reported to yield around 3–4 pounds per light. The high stretch and dense cola formation ensure that careful height management is rewarded with abundant, high-quality harvests. Both indoor and outdoor setups can achieve excellent results, though the plant’s growth vigor makes it particularly well-suited to controlled indoor environments where training and support can be optimized.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
The defining characteristic of Monaco is its intense blue-candy aroma that carries from cultivation through curing. The scent profile is loud and unmistakable—sweet, fruity, and reminiscent of sugary blue confections—with a subtle undercurrent of gas that rounds out the sweetness. When burned or vaporized, the flavor delivers the same dominant candy tone, remaining sticky-sweet and bright throughout the entire session. Lemon Cherry enhances the candy profile with light citrus and floral nuances, while Azulcar #22 reinforces the sugary base that fans of Blue Sherb and Runtz genetics recognize immediately. Monaco seeds reliably produce this distinctive flavor across multiple phenotypes, making them a favorite among growers aiming for standout terpene expression.
Cultivation Details
Monaco seeds are feminized photoperiod seeds, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoors, these plants perform best with careful training and structural support, as their high stretch and heavy colas can quickly outgrow unprepared setups. Multiple trellis layers may be necessary in rooms with high light intensity to manage canopy structure and maximize yield potential. Outdoors, Monaco thrives in warm, temperate climates with plenty of sun exposure. The strain is considered easy to grow, provided growers monitor vertical growth and maintain airflow to support its dense flower formation. Nine Weeks Harvest designed Monaco to appeal to cultivators seeking a resilient, productive strain with standout color and aroma.
Seed Type and Grow Area
Monaco seeds are feminized, ensuring an all-female crop and eliminating the need for sexing plants. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, with best results achieved under strong lighting and controlled nutrient conditions. Indoors, Monaco’s vertical growth and heavy flower formation make it an excellent candidate for advanced training methods such as topping or scrogging. Outdoors, the strain’s resilience and high yield potential make it an excellent choice for cultivators looking for vibrant, candy-flavored genetics with exceptional market appeal. With their combination of Blue Sherb coloration, candy-sweet terpenes, and high performance, Monaco seeds from Nine Weeks Harvest deliver a premium option for both commercial and craft growers.
