Cayambe Grand Daddy
Also known as: Cayambe Granddaddy, Cayambe Grand Daddy Purple
Cayambe Grand Daddy Strain Overview
Cayambe Grand Daddy is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between the legendary Granddaddy Purple and a landrace strain from the Cayambe region of Ecuador. The strain was developed to combine the potent, relaxing effects of Granddaddy Purple with the unique terpene profile and sativa influence of the Ecuadorian landrace. This genetic combination results in a balanced hybrid that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day depending on dosage.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, resinous buds that often display the characteristic purple hues inherited from its Granddaddy Purple parent, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The leaves may show shades of deep green with purple undertones, and orange pistils are commonly visible throughout the flower structure.
Cayambe Grand Daddy has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its complex flavor profile and balanced effects. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique genetic heritage and the way it combines indica relaxation with sativa-inspired mental clarity. The strain's name references both its Ecuadorian landrace heritage (Cayambe) and its famous purple parent strain.

Cayambe Grand Daddy Strain Growing Information
Cayambe Grand Daddy is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October when grown outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled environments where temperature can be manipulated to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. They respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Cayambe Grand Daddy prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity and benefits from proper nutrient management, particularly during the flowering phase. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, especially in denser bud structures.
