About Granddaddy Purple
A Californian indica known for grape aroma and for colouring deeply purple in cool conditions.
Granddaddy Purple was released in the early 2000s, combining Purple Urkle’s colour and aroma with Big Bud’s flower size.
The purple colouring is anthocyanin expression and depends on temperature as much as genetics, which is why the same cultivar can finish entirely green.
