Description
Granddaddy Purple, an indica-dominant strain, is the result of crossing Purple Urkle and Big Bud. This exquisite variety was created by Ken Estes, who went on to win first prize in the 2006 High Times Cup with this strain.
Also known as “Granddady Purps,” “Grandaddy Purple Kush,” and “GDP,” this strain has an average THC content of about 20%. It is particularly beloved by individuals dealing with sleep disorders, including insomnia, as it induces a pleasant buzz along with deep body relaxation.
Considered a “heavy indica” strain, Granddaddy Purple is recommended to start with a couple of hits to gauge its effects.
Ken Estes, the creator, has become a legend in the marijuana breeding world due to his dedication to maximizing the medical benefits of cannabis. His journey began in 1976 when, paralyzed from the neck down, he tried marijuana out of desperation for pain relief. This experience led to the restoration of his appetite and a full night’s sleep. Despite skepticism from doctors, Ken continued to self-medicate with marijuana, eventually eliminating the prescribed drugs.
Granddaddy Purple, born from Ken’s dedication and inspired by locally grown cannabis gifted by Native American friends, stands as a testament to the potential medical benefits of marijuana.
