Overview
Taking the most coveted characteristics from its parent strains, Granddaddy Purps (GDP) is blessed with the giant, dense buds of Big Bud along with Purple Urkles vibrant shades of purple. It also maintains the mouth watering sweet taste and smell. A strong indica style high can be expected thanks primarily to the high level of THC, averaging 21% with some examples measuring above 27%. CBD levels are virtually non existent, well below 1%.
Strain Effects
Pure indica heaven is what you can expect from a Granddaddy Purps stone; with a strong initial head buzz quickly spreading all over the body. The hazy yet pleasant experience can often lead to tiredness and couch lock with an accompanying uplift in mood and state of peacefulness. The comprehensive relaxation given by GDP makes it a fantastic choice for night time use as well as for anyone looking to relieve symptoms such as pain and sleeplessness.
Growing info
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor grows, GDP plants possess typical indica style traits including moderate height. A hardy nature makes Granddaddy Purp seeds a good option even for novice and experienced growers alike. Most plants will max out at or below 180cm in height and deliver plentiful yields of 450-500g/m2 in a flowering period of 10-12 weeks. The immense size and weight of the buds often causes the plants to bend during the later stages of flowering meaning some support may be needed for larger examples.
Appearance and Aroma
A feast for the eyes, Granddaddy Purps plants are typical indica in their appearance, dense and bushy with bright green leaves. The true beauty stems from the large colourful buds, with their deep inky purple shades contrasted by an abundance of glass like trichromes and vivid orange hairs. The distinctly sweet aroma of grapes and berries fills the surrounding air, punctuated by strong herbal, pepper and pine smells provided by the plants terpenes.
MSNL Editors Verdict
Granddaddy Purps is a shining example of a 21st century marijuana hybrid, created with the finest ingredients and utmost care. Promising incredibly powerful highs from its large yields of big beautiful buds its obvious why GDP is a staple among cannabis enthusiasts, not just in its native California, but worldwide.

"50%"
Review by Anna
I was disappointed that only 5 of the 10 feminizes seeds germinated. I plan on trying a few other strains but it wondering if other growers bought feminized seeds and only half of the seeds germinated?

"Perfect Indica"
Review by Travis
The plant is perfect! Growing hydro. I have lollipoped it and pruned it several times and it becomes a dense solid hedge in two weeks. Almost 3 weeks in flowering and it’s stacking on flowers. Very healthy not a single yellowed leaf.

"Just awesome"
Review by Dean
GDP is a great strain. I mean, it's not known by stoners around the world for no reason. The indica in it is just so heavy, and combined with that high THC content? Be prepared for some serious couch lock.
