Grand Daddy Purple
$14.00 – $326.00
Indica Dominant Hybrid 70/30 | THC: 19.97% | CBD: 0.05%
Introduced in 2003 by Ken Estes, Granddaddy Purple (or GDP) is a famous indica cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud. This California staple inherits a complex grape and berry aroma from its Purple Urkle parent, while Big Bud passes on its oversized, compact bud structure. GDP flowers bloom in shades of deep purple, a contrasting backdrop for its snow-like dusting of white crystal resin.
Its potent effects are clearly detectable in both mind and body, delivering a fusion of cerebral euphoria and physical relaxation. While your thoughts may float in a dreamy buzz, your body is more likely to find itself fixed in one spot for the duration of GDP’s effects. Granddaddy Purple is typically pulled off the shelf for consumers looking to combat pain, stress, insomnia, appetite loss, and muscle spasms.

Indica Dominant Hybrid 70/30 | THC: 19.97% | CBD: 0.05%
A West Coast favorite dating back to the early 2000s, Granddaddy Purple was bred by San Francisco grower Ken Estes by crossing two prolific indica strains, Big Bud and Purple Urkle. The cultivar’s striking appearance, with big, purple buds, red hairs and white, resinous crystals is popular among novice medical patients and recreational users alike.
While still seen as something of a novelty, the first purple cannabis actually arrived in California in the mid-1960s from Mexico. According to a story cited in Cannabis Pharmacy, a smuggler managed to drive 110 pounds (50kg) of purple marijuana flowers from Mexico to the Golden State. Within five hours of arriving in San Francisco he had sold the entire batch, straight from the trunk of his car.
On GDP specifically the details are barer, though Estes was quoted in an online interview with a particularly fortuitous tale. According to the story, Estes had just made a hefty sum on a previous grow, when a Native American friend of his hit some financial troubles. “Estes recalled how he listened to God and to his heart, and decided to give his friend the money. Two days later, the friend introduced Estes to a Native American medicine man who gave him a plant like no other he’d seen before. This plant was what would become the Grand Daddy Purp strain. And the rest is history.”
Popular in the Bay Area since that trunk sale back in the 60s, purple varieties of cannabis get their color from the same flavonoid group as blueberries, apples, and grapes—called anthocyanin. And while you’d be forgiven for assuming that this accounts for Granddaddy Purple’s fruity, berry-like aroma, that’s more likely related to the strain’s terpene profile.
