Granddaddy Purple strain, AKA GDP, or Gran Daddy Purps is a famous 100% pure indica cross of Big Bud and Purple Urkle. Ken Estes, a breeder in the San Francisco Bay Area is credited with creating Granddaddy Purple in 2003.

Granddaddy Purple is one of the most popular indica strains on the west coast and is possibly the most well known ‘purple’ cannabis strain in the United States. GDP won first place for Best U.S. Indica in 2015 at the Denver High Times Cannabis Cup.
Appearance
Grandaddy’s buds have an extremely attractive appearance. The flowers are varying shades of purple with bright orange and red hairs. Nugs are incredibly compact and fuzzy with seductive purple hues and a generous covering of trichomes that run throughout. This is a big reason that GDP is an extremely photogenic strain with great bag appeal.
Grand Daddy Purps Flavor
Granddaddy Purple strain has a strong and distinct aroma of grapes and a sweet marshmallow berry scent. The smoke tastes like an earthy pinecone mixed with a sweet and floral fruity punch. Some people have also described the exhale as having a skunky grape popsicle taste.

Growing the Granddaddy Purple Strain
Granddaddy Purple Clones yields massive dense buds that are ready after 60-75 days of indoor flowering. Moderately resistant to common diseases, Granddaddy Purple seeds are quite easy to grow. Try to pay attention to the humidity levels, which it prefers at about 50%. GDP plants like a well-ventilated space for growth and should be trimmed to create more room to breathe and flourish. Indoor and outdoor plants grow bushy and produce an average yield of 500g/ plant. Outside, it’s ready for harvest around Mid-October. Lowering the temperature in the grow room during the final weeks of flowering will produce a more vivid purple color in the spectacular colas. Just keep temperatures above 14 degrees Celsius / 57 F during that time.

First Time Ordering.
This was my first time ordering from an online Foli Farms LLC. I had heard good and bad things about this site—mostly good however, and so I decided to place my order. About a month-and-a-half into veg I couldn’t be happier. 100% germination. Can’t wait to see what kind of buds these make, but from the veg I can tell they’re good!!!

GDP
This is my 1st ever grow. I decided to grow indoors in soil. I dropped my clones in a glass of water for 18 hour and planted directly into the container. It has been 2 full months and i have a very wide, 3ft tall and healthy plant. I have had zero issues. Incredibly easy to grow.

G.D.P.
Germinated the first two then I believe I drowned them. 20 dollar lesson, but that was on me. Geminated another one and she took a long time so I eventually decided to just put the little girl in the peat pod. She came up, but had a kink in her back and looked like a twist with some stem rot. I gave her special attention and didn’t give up on her.
She came out of it with a small warp in her spine so I call her Twisted Sister. That pic was at 3 weeks and she is now 4 and so cute She is growing wide as fast as she grows tall and is just darling. I don’t know if she’ll get big, but I know I am quite fond of her and curious to see what she’ll become.
I gave one to a friend and he said his is doing very well. We’ll see what we get. I’m excited.

Grand Daddy Purps
2 weeks into flower in these pics. It’s a gorgeous strain, and the smell is off the charts. I used to get true Ken Estes Grandaddy from the Bay Area for years. Been trying to find it since I left Cali and haven’t. I can tell just by the smell that this that true purps. I’ll load a couple of more pics in the last week of flower. I’ll definitely be ordering only from foli farms llc from here on out. Your the true deal. I appreciate the low cost and true genetics!

Great smoke
Was a little testie at first but all of a sudden the plant took off. Took about 8 weeks to mature to a point where I could trim a little and reduce the light down from 18 hrs to 12 per day. From that point it took another 3 to 4 weeks to the busd to grow and mature. The plant is into its 3rd week on bud maturity. It still has a week or 2 until harvest.
