Granddaddy Purple is an indica-leaning cross of Purple Urkle and Big Bud with grape candy, sweet berry and lavender at 17-23% THC and a deep body sink. Myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene lead. Onset is medium, with a deep body sink at about 30 minutes.
Grape Candy and a Deep Body Sink
The aroma is grape candy, sweet berry and lavender on the exhale. The effect shows up after 5 to 7 minutes of inhaling, and a deep body sink arrives around the 30-minute mark.
The listed use cases are an evening unwind, a full-body settle and an end-of-week movie night. Inhaled duration is generally 2 to 4 hours.
Its 17-23% THC range runs a little above the 16-20% listed for Blackberry Kush further down.
Onset is medium, at 5 to 7 minutes inhaled, and the deep body sink follows at about 30 minutes.
Myrcene, Pepper and Pine
Myrcene
Myrcene leads and carries the heavy, sinking feel.
Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene is in the mix as a peppery, warm undertone.
Pinene
Pinene is the fresh pine note that adds a little clarity to an otherwise purple-and-sweet nose.
Purple Urkle, Big Bud and Ken Estes
The strain crosses Purple Urkle with Big Bud. It is documented as a 2003 creation by Ken Estes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Flowering runs 8-11 weeks.
Berry and Pine Alternatives
Blackberry Kush lists ripe blackberry and sweet diesel at 16-20% THC, with the same three terpenes. Blue Dream is sativa-leaning at 17-24% THC, with blueberry candy and vanilla cream. Strawberry Cough gives jammy strawberry and hay at 15-20%. White Widow is a balanced hybrid that trades fruit for pine and floral funk.
