Original Grand Daddy Purple, Purple Urkle x Big Bud
The Original Grand Daddy Purple marijuana strain was created by breeder Ken Estes in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay Area. It quickly gained success in therapeutic dispensaries as the best Indica strain, with some claiming it is six times more in demand than any other strain!
Grand Daddy Purple (GDP) is a cross between the Californian Purple Urkle clone, which features purple hues and fruity grape and berry flavours, and the renowned Big Bud strain, which enhances yield production and flower density.
Original Grand Daddy Purple, a purple cannabis strain ideal for sleeping
The purple colour of the flowers generally appears after the sixth week of flowering, except in cases of excessive heat. Once harvested, the buds resemble beautiful gemstones wrapped in resin, with a grape and wild berry flavour and aroma.
Ken Estes advises that one of the keys to cultivating Grand Daddy Purple to its full potential is to provide plenty of ventilation. It is therefore important to prune the small branches at the low part to allow optimal air circulation, helping each plant develop its buds to the maximum, particularly those most exposed to light.
The Original Grand Daddy Purple marijuana strain has a very powerful effect, both mental and physical, producing a combination of cerebral euphoria and deep relaxation. This strain is also known as The Nighttime Strain, as it has helped many patients with sleep disorders such as insomnia.
Therapeutically, GDP marijuana can relieve pain, reduce stress, minimise muscle spasms, and help restore appetite.
