Growing

Many purple strains have been produced over the years, however, Granddaddy Purple is one of the originals and best. An effortless to grow strain that will express her skunk lineage and produce large yields in 77-84 days of flowering. This lady is a large producer that is well worth the wait, and a great choice for commercial growers looking for big yields. A heavy hitter that produces dark purple colored buds drenched in resin.

Indoor
Granddaddy Purple will stay short and squat during the vegetative period, where she grows one main central cola, long side branching with medium-sized internodal spacing. Once flowering, the plants will stretch to an average height of 120-140 cm (47-55 inches). A resilient hybrid that can take heat stress and cold temperatures with no issues. During the final 4 weeks of flowering, she will really pack on the weight as her buds become thick, chunky and begin to stack heavily. We advise supporting the plants during the final phase of flowering using a trellis net or bamboo canes.

Outdoor
When growing outdoors, Granddaddy Purple will grow like a Christmas tree, where she produces an epic amount of side branches. She can grow much taller outside and can exceed 180 cm (70 inches) in height and resemble the same in width.

We recommend this strain to growers who experience long Summers and can provide the full 10-11 weeks to mature, depending on the phenotype.

Fungal resistance

Thanks to her Skunk lineage, Granddaddy Purple has a high resistance to strong winds, cold nights, and heat stress. She is a good choice for growers who normally suffer from mold or powdery mildew.

Flowering time

Indoor
Granddaddy Purple is a big producer and even though it may take 10-11 weeks depending on phenotype, will reward you with epic yields of high-grade purple glistening nugs. There is also a large amount of top quality sugar leaf that she produces, that can be used to make hash, extracts, or topical with.

Outdoor
It usually takes 10 to 11 weeks for her to finish. Watch for her oversized buds because they might weigh down the plant a bit. Especially, when growing outdoors. She has a high resistance to mold; however, it is important to make sure the buds have a good amount of airflow during the final weeks before harvest.

Yield

Indoor
Expect great yields from this remarkable lady of 750 g/m² (2.5 oz per square foot). Granddaddy Purple is a solid performer which will certainly keep your curing jars full to the brim.

Outdoor
Outdoors she is capable of producing 1000 grams+ (35.5 oz) per plant in a hot climate. It is best to plant her in Spring and harvest at the start of November. We recommend this cultivar to growers who will have the climate to allow the plants to fully ripen and mature.

Plant height & structure

This cultivar does not require much maintenance and will grow with a main central cola, and lots of long side branches. Her growth structure once flowering is short and stocky, making her a great strain for growers with limited height.

Training

Granddaddy Purple is a wonderful strain to apply training techniques such as LST and Topping. To really enhance the yields, we recommend growing her in a SCROG with a long vegetative time. Support might be required, especially during the final 30 days of flowering.

Smell, taste and effect

The aroma of the buds are fruity, sweet, berry with a skunk, floral overtone. Combined with the dark purple and magenta hues, the buds have an outstanding bag appeal that really stands out from anything else. Her flavors are a cocktail or fruity, skunk and berry terpene with hints of sweet and sour notes.

Granddaddy Purple is perfect for nighttime use. She hits both the body and mind with a smooth body buzz like most indica dominant strains. Novice users beware, though, this strain can pack a powerful punch. We’d recommend starting with a hit or two and waiting a few minutes before opting to hit some more.
