Strain Description
Granddaddy Purple is a popular strain known for its unique combination of genetics, flavors, and effects. It is a cross between Purple Urkel and Big Bud, resulting in a mostly indica dominant strain. The strain offers a delightful blend of berry and fruity flavors. In terms of effects, Granddaddy Purple is known to provide potent happiness, relaxation, and talkativeness. It is often sought after for its potential benefits in alleviating conditions such as arthritis, insomnia, and pain, thanks to the terpenes it contains. Some of the prominent terpenes found in Granddaddy Purple include Camphene, Linalool, and Valencene. When it comes to cultivation, Granddaddy Purple can be grown both indoors and outdoors. However, to ensure optimal growth and avoid any potential issues during development, it is recommended to provide the strain with ideal conditions. While it is generally compact, robust, and moderately easy to grow, it is important to take precautions against pests. To retain and enhance the terpenes and flavors of feminized Granddaddy Purple buds, Blimburn advises the use of a quality substrate such as perlite, peat, or coco coir, as these materials help with moisture retention. For indoor cultivation, Blimburn recommends having wide vertical spaces and utilizing the ScrOG (Screen of Green) method to achieve a uniform plane and increase the size of the lower flowers. In terms of humidity levels, it is recommended to maintain a relative humidity (RH) level of around 55-60% during the vegetative phase when growing Granddaddy Purple indoors. As the strain enters the flowering stage, the humidity should be reduced to around 40%. The flowering period typically takes about 8-10 weeks, and under optimal conditions, you can expect a yield of up to 500 grams per square meter. For outdoor cultivation, it is advisable to sow the seeds in April and harvest around mid-October. With proper care and conditions, you can expect a yield of up to 700 grams per plant of Granddaddy Purple buds. Overall, Granddaddy Purple is highly regarded for its resin production and can be a great choice for those seeking a flavorful and potent indica strain.
