Cat. №07 . Clones / Granddaddy Purple / GDP-01
the purple
benchmark.
Granddaddy Purple clones from a documented Purple Urkle x Big Bud mother plant. GDP defined the modern purple cultivar category when Ken Estes released it in the early 2000s. Heavy purple expression, grape and berry terps, a deeply sedating effect. PCR HLVd-tested quarterly and re-tested before any cut leaves the room.
Cut from a verified Granddaddy Purple mother traced to the original Ken Estes line. The Bay Area medical scene of the early 2000s built around this cut.
Short, broad-leaved indica structure. Heavy purple expression even at normal grow temps, intensifies with cool night drops. Dense, oversized colas.
A rooted clone of the mother in a 2 inch peat plug, packed in a humidity dome and shipped overnight. Each box includes a cut card with the lineage notes, a flower schedule, and a feed chart for the first two weeks after transplant.
2 to 3 weeks. Squat structure suits sea-of-green setups. Limited training needed.
8 to 9 weeks. Minimal stretch. Bud structure forms early and packs tight; risk of botrytis on dense colas in humid environments.
Heavy feeder. Tolerates higher EC (1.8 to 2.2). Watch for fade in late flower as nitrogen tapers.
Pistils 80 to 90% curled, trichomes mixed milky and amber. Pull on the early side for snappy effect; later for sedation.
It is a clone from a verified Granddaddy Purple mother held in our clean room. Verified Ken Estes release from the early 2000s Bay Area scene Lineage notes ship with every cut.
Indoor, 2.0 to 2.8 ounces per plant in a 5 gallon container, scaling with light intensity and room conditions. SOG setups in 1 gallon containers produce closer to 1 ounce per plant. Outdoor on a single trellised plant, 4 to 10 ounces is realistic depending on climate and finish week.
Pack days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Order by 11pm the day before a pack day and the cut goes on the next dispatch. Transit is 1 to 3 days depending on your state. Each cut ships overnight or 2-day priority in an insulated cooler.
Yes. PCR HLVd test on the mother plant quarterly, and a second PCR pass on the batch before any cut ships. We also run a fungal panel to rule out powdery mildew and pythium. Test results are available on request.
Granddaddy Purple suits both indoor and outdoor. Short, dense structure handles short rooms and short outdoor seasons well. Mediterranean climates and Pacific Northwest grows finish reliably in late September or early October.
