Good enough for Snoop
Granddaddy Purple (or Granddaddy Purps for those who have no time for additional syllables) is an indica dominant strain that features a beautiful deep wash of purple color across it’s dense buds. It first came to be in the good ol’ days, way back in 2003. It is the fruit of the labours of a dude named Ken Estes and a grow team he put together from San Francisco who wanted to create an absolute unit of an indica hybrid. Well Ken, mission accomplished cause this might be one of the most sought-after strains in the entirety of western cannabis culture and it’s easy to see why. Granddaddy Purple is a favorite not just of world renown rap artists but also of growers who like a strain that produces a high yield during cultivation and tokers who are looking to achieve a heavy couchlock when consuming. Make very few plans if you’re going to be hitting this guy, cause effects include long periods of time spent quietly contemplating the meaning of life and whether or not your partner will notice if you take the last piece of Deep n’ Delicious cake*.
