More about Granddaddy Purple Feminized Seeds

Although Granddaddy Purple was created in Ken Estes’ San Francisco lab in 2003, its history goes back further. In the 1970s, Sativa was more popular, but Indica strains brought back from Asia were more suited to the cooler climate of Northern California. In addition, these Indicas matured faster, remained a short height, and had the most amazing purple hues. So, breeders did what breeders do and they experimented. Eventually, two famous Indica hybrids – Purple Urkle and Big Bud – were combined by Ken to produce GDP.

Granddaddy Purple is the gold standard of purple Indicas. The plant, with its violet-tinged leaves and oversized buds dusted with snowy resin, is a head-turner. However, its beauty is not just skin-deep. It is easy to grow, particularly indoors, with a manageable maximum height of only 3 feet. The flowering period is relatively short at 9 weeks and it gives 14 to 18-ounce yields per square meter (400 to 500 grams). But most importantly, the effects of this strain are deeply healing – imparting relief from stress, pain, and insomnia. After all, GDP was developed by a man who is an esteemed advocate of the therapeutic benefits of marijuana.

On top of all that, this strain smells awesome! It will fill your grow room with a sweet and citrusy aroma that is evocative of a candy store. Nevertheless, the flavor as you smoke it is not cloying or saccharine. The taste of grapes and berries are refreshing and mouthwatering. The fragrance that lingers in the air is light pine with a dash of earthiness.

The Indica legacy of Granddaddy Purple makes it a hardy and resilient plant. With minimal precautions, it can flourish either indoors or outdoors. The most crucial factor is the relative humidity (RH) which can affect its ability to absorb water and nutrients. Other than that, it is highly resistant to pests and diseases. With this strain, novice growers can keep things simple, whereas experts find it highly adaptable to modifications such as super cropping.

GDP is exceptionally suited to indoor growing. The plant is short and stout, making it easy to control in a low-ceilinged room. You can grow it in soil or a hydroponics setup; the maximum height of 3 feet allows it to be flexible. Just remember to keep an eye on the humidity level. 50% RH is optimal because higher than that might encourage bud rot or powdery mildew to proliferate. Moreover, a wet environment will cause the stomata on the leaves to close, hindering nutrient absorption and stunting growth. To monitor the RH, invest in a digital hygrometer. Also, only water your plants when the lights are on so that the excess moisture can evaporate.

If you decide to grow outdoors, make sure that the conditions are dry and sunny. But having said that, GDP is able to handle slightly cooler temperatures for short periods. In fact, the cold can stimulate the anthocyanins to manifest themselves. These are the pigments that give the leaves and buds their blue-violet color. Besides affecting the plant’s appearance, studies show that they also have the potential to treat cardiovascular disease and cancer.

In the open air, Granddaddy Purple can grow up to 6 feet tall. You have to wait until October for the flowering stage. Before the frost sets in, you should be able to harvest 16 to 20 ounces of bud per plant (450 to 550 grams). The yield indoors is almost the same, up to 18 ounces for a 3-square foot area (500 grams per square meter). Given that it is much easier to control the humidity in a grow room, especially during the 9-week flowering period, we recommend indoor cultivation.

The impressive yield of our GDP seeds is due to the fact that they are feminized. This means that they are guaranteed to produce only female plants. As this 2017 report explains, male plants are unnecessary because they do not produce buds. Additionally, they can even damage your crop. The pollen from males will contaminate the females’ flowers and wreak havoc. By eliminating the male sex chromosomes from these seeds, we have taken care of this problem for you. Furthermore, feminized seeds also have a higher THC content. In the case of this strain, it is a formidable 23%.

As harvest time approaches, you will be overjoyed to see humongous, deep purple buds. They will be covered with dense white trichomes. It is these sticky trichomes that give the weed potency. To find out if they are ready to harvest, wait for the pistils – the tiny hairs scattered throughout the plant – to turn orange. That signals the peak of cannabinoid production.

Granddaddy Purple generates immediate relaxation, often leading to couch-lock. This is not the strain to smoke if you have a full day of work ahead of you. The best time to consume it is in the evening, when you are ready to chill out. Take note that it might cause the munchies, so prepare some snacks within arm’s reach. You will not be able to get up and walk to the kitchen to search for food – nor will you want to.

The increase in appetite makes it a favored weed for medical users who are suffering from eating disorders. The sedative effect is also useful to combat stress and anxiety. Insomniacs will benefit because the intense relaxation causes sleepiness.

What’s more, the high THC in GDP can reduce pain. A study conducted at the University of New Mexico found that cannabis with significant levels of THC could lower pain intensity by 3 points on a 0 to 10 scale. That is massive for people who are afflicted with chronic, debilitating illnesses.

As for the negative side effects, the majority of users report dry mouth and dry eyes. These two symptoms are conveniently remedied by proper hydration. Drink plenty of water and have a bottle of eye drops on hand. First-timers might also experience mild dizziness or paranoia. To avoid these issues, start with low doses.

What are feminized seeds?

If you’re new to growing, you might not be sure what a ‘feminized seed’ is or why it's important. Here’s the deal. Marijuana plants come in both male and female sexes, but only one grows bud for smoking - the female plant.

Using them takes the guesswork out of growing. In the old days, you dealt with this by planting double the plants you thought you needed. Why? Simple
