THC & CBD values
Granddaddy Purple has a THC content of between 20% and 27%, inducing a strong physical relaxation. The CBD content is relatively low at less than 1%, but the strain's high potency provides an intense effect that is particularly suitable for experienced users. The combination of THC and the terpene blend provides deep muscle relaxation and a pleasantly calming sensation. Its effect is fast-acting and can last for several hours, making it an ideal choice for the evening or to help with sleep problems.
Granddaddy Purple Terpene
The unique effect and intense flavour of Granddaddy Purple is determined by a special terpene blend, which contributes to the relaxing and pain-relieving effect.
- Myrcene - Mainly responsible for the calming and relaxing effect, it enhances the physical effects of THC and contributes to the sweet, earthy flavour.
- Caryophyllene - Has an anti-inflammatory effect and can relieve pain, as well as providing a spicy note that rounds off the fruity flavour.
- Linalool - Gives Granddaddy Purple a slightly floral scent and has calming, anxiolytic properties. It enhances the sleep-inducing effect of the strain.
- Pinene - Provides a subtle piney note and supports mental clarity to keep the high from being too heavy, while also having anti-inflammatory properties.
This balanced blend creates a strain that is not only flavourful, but also has a deeply relaxing, almost sedative effect.

Fitting instructions for Granddaddy Purple
Choose the growing location
Granddaddy Purple can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoors you have control over the light and climate, while outdoors it thrives particularly well in a warm, sunny climate with cooler nights.
Prepare the soil
Use a nutrient-rich, well-aerated soil with a pH value between 6.0 and 7.0. Organic additives such as worm compost or bat guano promote growth and support flower formation.
Sow the seeds or plant the seedlings
Allow the seeds to germinate in moist kitchen paper or water until the first roots are visible. Then plant them about 1-2 cm deep in the prepared soil.
Ensure the right light conditions
Granddaddy Purple needs plenty of light for optimum growth. Indoors, LED or HPS lamps with an 18/6-hour light cycle in the growth phase and 12/12 in the flowering phase are ideal. Outdoors, the plant should receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Monitor temperature and humidity
The ideal temperature is 20-26°C during the day and 15-18°C at night. Humidity should be 50-60% during the growth phase and 40-50% during the flowering phase to prevent mould growth.
Water regularly
Water the plants evenly, but avoid waterlogging. Wait until the top layer of soil is dry before watering again. Use filtered or pH-neutral water if possible.
Optimise the nutrient supply
During the growth phase, Granddaddy Purple needs nitrogen-rich fertilisers. In the flowering phase, you should reduce the nitrogen and increase the supply of phosphorus and potassium to promote flower formation.
Train the plants (optional)
Use low-stress training (LST) or other techniques to control growth and maximise yields. This ensures that light is evenly distributed to all flowers.
Pay attention to the flowering time
Granddaddy Purple has a flowering time of around 8-10 weeks. Check the trichomes with a magnifying glass - when they are milky white, the optimum harvest time has been reached.
Harvest and dry the flowers
Carefully cut the flowers and hang them up in a well-ventilated, dark room with a humidity of around 50 %. After 7-14 days, they are ready for curing to develop their full flavour.
