What is Granddaddy Purple Strain?
Granddaddy Purple (also known as "GDP" or "Granddaddy Purps") is one of the most famous and visually stunning indica strains in cannabis history. Bred in California in 2003 by Ken Estes, this legendary strain quickly became known for its beautiful purple coloration, sweet grape aroma, and powerfully relaxing effects.
The Granddaddy Purple strain is a cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud, creating a potent indica that delivers deep physical relaxation and mental tranquility. With THC levels typically ranging from 17-23%, GDP weed provides strong effects that are perfect for evening use, unwinding, and promoting restful sleep.

Our budtenders can help you understand why Granddaddy Purple remains a top choice for indica lovers more than two decades after its creation.

Is Granddaddy Purple good for sleep?
Yes! Granddaddy Purple is one of the best strains for promoting sleep. Its high myrcene content and pure indica genetics create powerful sedating effects that help users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Many people use GDP specifically as a nighttime strain for restful sleep.
Why is Granddaddy Purple purple in color?
The purple coloration comes from high levels of anthocyanins (the same compounds that make blueberries purple). These are activated when the plants are exposed to cooler temperatures during growing. Quality GDP strain should have deep purple and violet hues mixed with bright orange pistils - it's one of the most visually striking strains available.
Can I use Granddaddy Purple during the day?
Granddaddy Purple strain is best reserved for evening or nighttime use due to its sedating effects. Using it during the day may cause drowsiness and make it difficult to stay productive. If you need daytime relief, ask our budtenders about balanced hybrids like Blue Dream or energizing sativas like Sour Diesel.
