Potency
If you are a fan of heavy Indica-dominant hybrid, couch lock, and distinct berry taste, as well as the fantastic medical values, then GDP strain is the best choice for you. GrandDaddy Purple strain is the grandfather of all the Indica hybrids and one of the strongest weeds that will make you go numb. It contains 16-20% THC, therefore, average users should be careful. If you germinate Grandaddy Purple seeds feminized, you will get a plant with a 16-18 oz yield.
Granddaddy Purple came out on the cannabis market back in 2003 after Ken Estes in San Francisco managed to stabilize the heavy Indica strain after the crossing of two predominant Indica phenotypes that were also highly popular among chiefs and medical users. The Grand Daddy Purple strain was created by crossing the best examples of Big Bud and Purple Urkle plants.
Taste and Smell of GDP Strain
When you open the bag, the first smell is a berry that is mixed with grape and earth. The aroma combination is highly pleasant and delicious, so you will fall in love right after the first smell. As the buds get older, the aroma gets better. Every Grand Daddy Purple strain review has compliments regarding the aroma, so it is evident that this is one of the best aromas you can find on the cannabis market.
When you smoke it, you can feel a note of earth and pine that are mixed with candy-like grapes. The fusion of flavors makes this GDP strain unique, pleasant, and smooth, so you will have no problem when it comes to smoking in larger amounts.
Granddaddy Purple Weed Possible Effects
Grand Daddy Kush genetics give you powerful and couch-lock effects, so you will not be in the mood for a walk by the river. At the same time, your thoughts will be rushed yet focused, as the mental buzz will create euphoria and pleasant relaxation. Therefore, everyone who has stress problems will benefit. Still, this is a night time weed, and do not think of using it during the day unless you are a heavy smoker. It produces:
- Relaxation
- Happiness
Fans of Granddaddy Purp weed also recommend the Oreos strain, although it has a higher THC level, smokers say these two strains have similar sleepy effect.
When it comes to medical values, you have to know that this is almost pure Indica weed that will provide narcotic effects and will put you in the rest mode. The GDP strain helps with relieving the symptoms for patients who suffer from:
- Stress
- Muscle spasms
- Insomnia
- Pain
- Lack of appetite
- Migraines
- PTSD
- Depression
As Granddaddy Purple strain is heavy Indica, you can expect dry mouth, red eyes, a bit of dizziness and paranoia until you get used to it. A less experienced patient who does not have regular contact with cannabis may experience a slightly psychedelic effect and changes in aural/visual senses.
Growing Tips
If you are planning to grow Grand Daddy Purple, then you should know that you have to have some basic knowledge to grow it successfully. Although it is not prone to diseases and does not require any special care, you should know the basic things about the water structure and nutrients you need to use. The slight disbalance in nutrients can cause damage. However, if you grow outdoors, just make sure you ensure huge holes filled with high-quality soil and organic fertilizers, and you are good to go. In an indoor environment, try not to grow smaller pots and ensure that you have at least 600 Watt lighting systems.

Contrary to what many believe, you can use this baby during the day. Only issue is that you may get too relaxed you forget what you were doing. but at least you won't be constantly worried and feeling anxious as you go about your duties. That is always something worth celebrating or hitting another joint for.
I sent this to my granny who has trouble with anxiety and is constantly complaining of pain from all over. Two weeks in and she is singing my praises in the family group chat. Thanks Grandaddy Purple for making me her favorite. Now, next time I go visiting I'll make her some weed brownies with this bad boy and watch her dote on me even more.
this stuff must be all the hype at elderly people's home especially because of its SLEEP-INDUCING effects.
Can't deny it a 5!!! It's a very strong weed. Made me numb for 2 days. My crew thought i had overdose
hail yo grandaddy! yu calmed my migraine, Glad I bought it after tryn other useless stuff. forever my sweetheart:-).
Took this ganja when was damn humgry. Almost swallowed everthing in my house. Will take it next when am full
Didn't make me happy as expected. tho i thought I like berry. I guess I'm into harder stuff than this
Why people hype this weed? I don find it great, just an average cannabis like all the rest crap out there.
Smoked granddaddy daily for one week in a row every evening after work. I can say it's a perfect prebed routine not discover by many guys. Gives you heavy sleep, makes you forget you had pain in your body. Testing other strains now but will surely come back to this.
First weed to gimme the couchlock effect I hear smokers braggin about. It pinned me to my sofa almost 36 hours, watchin series, dozing off, and such. Quite a good one to forget your sorrows and slide into the other world. Was with my bae, so it was really lit
I liked the unmistakeable berry taste. Just so pleasant for me, You know, I'm the kinda girl who's into flavors and berry just tantalizes me. It rocks me to deep sleep everytime I smoke it. Reason I keep ordering. Well, try it too, thank me later:-)
granddaddy really got me euphoric... had to read the contents after a few puffs, only to realize I was kiddin with 20% THC!!! Thanks heavens I paused, otherwise would have done me bad. hahaa, me just startin out on this weed stuff
I've tried a lot of flower, and Granddaddy Purple checks every single box. I love the higher than normal level of Bisabolol. SO nice and relaxing.
There are different varieties of GDP, it depends on which seed bank the tree grows from and if it is indoor or outdoor grown. I find the seeds I have grown from have a horrible potent effect thats too strong and euphoric, not like the relaxing mellow couch lock others talk about. In saying that I find this to be true from a lot of weed that I grow, could be that I am harvesting the buds too soon or late.. but some have found my weed to be enjoyable and other agree with me using words like its very 'intense' and 'violent'.
Got about 10 seeds from last gdp at local dispensary.. Head Doctor in am ,gdp in pm after dinner. Like both, anyway got 4 pots gdp growing 17 days old, 4” tall and 4 more 1” tall 7 days old. Long way to grow for first timer. Short trip to store while tending. I’ll get more til then!!! Getchya some!
I dont know why it looked too dried and kinda burnt? Is this even the right strain? Smells like soot.
I must admit I was underestimating this one. It feels good when you have a headache because of overthinking. It smells something like lavender but with a lot of sweet hints. A good purchase for starters.
I read a few bad reviews on allbud but those are untrue! This is fucking awesome!! It is strong enough to fill you with euphoria but you wont act possessed. rightly made!
Migraines are frequent for me and as soon as I smelled the skunk i felt better and after smoke, I was in much better place.
Posh...good to have a night with food, netflix and nice thoughts. I like the smell too, doesnt make the neighbors knock.
The smoke leaves a earthy taste on the tongue
Ive seen better and the quantity is also very less for the bucks I put in.
Calming but drowsy effect. It has floral and fruity smell - an interesting mix.
Go ahead and smoke a lil more than usual. No harm, honey!
This and a condom - all set!
Aroma reminds me of costly perfume
Its smooth, sexy and quite uplifting!
wikileaf called it unique? Its DEBRIS!
Pleasant smell as soon as I unpacked.
Cannabis gives you high yayy!
I tried this MJ and was so hard on me. Next time I will try a smaller dose as I really want to experience it. Have only heard how cool it is but I havent had many chances to experience the cool effecst after my first bad experience. I will come back with another review.
Has great relaxation and euphoric effects when taken in small dose.
Wanna get couch locked the whole day? Try this stuff.
so strong not for beginners, would only recommend novice smokers.
Great head high with a euphoric lift. It’s a happy weed.
Excellent post. I will be facing a few of these issues as well..
Super sweet
I liked the rich smell
The best weed in central America Jamaican cant beat this
Simply the best
Wondering how to beat insomnia, stress, and anxiety without having a date with the doctor This is the remedy, a gift to you from nature
Worth trying again
Had a good sleep
These trees elevate me to a whole new level everyday
Dont underestimate what good weed can do This one especially After smoking it I felt dizzy but thats the deal I cannot trade my sleep for anything Smoking this pot is a guarantee
