THC 17% | CBD 0%
Granddaddy Purple (often referred to as GDP) is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid that has become one of the most iconic strains in the cannabis world. Bred from the cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud, Granddaddy Purple is renowned for its deep purple hues, dense buds, and relaxing, euphoric effects. This strain has earned its place as a fan favorite due to its potent effects, vibrant appearance, and sweet, fruity flavor profile.
The flavor profile of Granddaddy Purple is rich and complex, offering a sweet, berry-like taste with hints of grape, candy, and earthy undertones. The aroma is equally enticing, with a pungent, fruity scent that is reminiscent of fresh grapes and berries, often mixed with a slight herbal or earthy quality. The smooth, flavorful smoke is a treat for the senses, leaving a sweet, lingering taste on the palate.
In terms of effects, Granddaddy Purple delivers a deeply relaxing body high that is perfect for unwinding after a long day. The initial effects often include a euphoric mental lift, which slowly transitions into a soothing, sedative body buzz. It is known for easing tension, relieving stress, and promoting deep relaxation, making it a great choice for managing insomnia, anxiety, chronic pain, and muscle spasms. While it is primarily relaxing, it will not leave users feeling completely couch-locked, making it suitable for evening use or when seeking relief with a little mental clarity.
Granddaddy Purple is also a favorite among cultivators, thanks to its relatively easy cultivation and high yields. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, with a flowering period of around 8 to 9 weeks. The strain produces dense, colorful buds that display a range of vibrant purple and green hues, often with bright orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes. Granddaddy Purples striking appearance and high resin content make it an excellent choice for concentrates. Its ease of cultivation and robust nature make it a great option for both beginner and experienced growers alike.

Myrcene
(Earthy, musky, herbal, with hints of cloves and fruit)
- Analgesic (Pain relief)
- Anti-inflammatory
- Sedative
- Muscle relaxant
- Supports sleep
Myrcene is thought to increase cell membrane permeability, potentially allowing cannabinoids like THC to take effect more quickly. It’s often associated with deeply relaxing and sedative effects, making it popular in strains intended for evening or therapeutic use.
Pinene
(Pine, woody, earthy, with subtle herbal notes)
Pinene stands out among terpenes for its bronchodilating properties, helping to open airways and support lung function. It is believed to aid memory retention and mental focus, and may counteract some of THC’s cognitive side effects. Pinene is often found in sativa-dominant strains, making it popular for daytime use and mental alertness.
Caryophyllene
(Spicy, peppery, woody, with hints of clove)
Caryophyllene is valued for its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, often promoting relaxation and stress reduction. Its ability to engage CB2 receptors makes it a standout terpene for therapeutic use, frequently found in indica and hybrid strains known for calming effects.
