The cannabis strain Granddaddy Purple (also known as Grand Daddy Purps) is an indica variety that releases a pleasant berry aroma and leaves users with a grape aftertaste. It is a visually striking strain, with deep purple buds complemented by vibrant orange hairs and abundant white trichomes. This strain is classified as an indica and is believed to be closely related to Grape Ape, with some suggesting they might be the same strain. However, Granddaddy Purple was originally bred in 2003 by Ken Estes in California, who aimed to create a remarkable indica strain by combining two already renowned parent strains: Purple Urkle and Big Bud.

Granddaddy Purple typically contains THC levels ranging from 17% to 23%, with some crops even reaching higher levels. When consumed, it provides a deeply relaxing body buzz that induces a euphoric state of mind. This strain is best used at night and is highly recommended for promoting sleep and relieving body tension. Additionally, it has been known to alleviate symptoms of restless leg syndrome and increase appetite.

For cultivation, Granddaddy Purple thrives best indoors and has a flowering period of approximately 10-11 weeks. The plant’s oversized buds tend to weigh down its structure, so additional support is necessary. Yields can vary from four ounces to three pounds per plant depending on the quality and crop conditions.
