Granddaddy Purple is a classic Indica. Whether you’re in need of some sleep, suffer from chronic pain, or just need to chill out, this strain has you covered.
Granddaddy Purps came onto the scene back in 2003 from San Francisco Bay breeder Ken Estes. Since then, it’s become one of the most popular Indicas on dispensary shelves.
This strain is a cross between two rockstar strains, Big Bud and Purple Urkle. However, these genetics are strikingly similar to Grape Ape, another popular purple strain. Regardless, this strain is loved by medical patients and recreational users alike.
Though Granddaddy is an Indica, it tends to provide a bit of a euphoric mental high. New consumers should be slow with this strain, as THC levels can run as high as 23%.
It’s safe to say this strain has some shelf appeal. With dense purple buds, slight lime hues, ample red hairs, and a good coating of white trichomes, this strain is quick to go. Coupled with reliable sedative effects, Granddaddy Purple is an easy win for growers and consumers alike.
From its Purple Urkle parent, this strain inherits a grape and berry aromas and flavors, which are sweet on the inhale, with a harsh, pungent taste on the exhale.
