Grand Cognac Strain Overview
Grand Cognac is a hybrid cannabis strain created by JONZ through crossing Orange Cognac (female) with Granddaddy Purple F3 (male). The strain exhibits a mix of sativa-dominant and indica-dominant phenotypes, making it a versatile hybrid that can express different characteristics depending on the phenotype. The Orange Cognac mother plant was an unnamed cut gifted to the breeder without genetic history, characterized by its distinctive sweet citrus skunk aroma with zesty and bitter undertones reminiscent of hops and alcohol. When combined with the Granddaddy Purple F3 male - derived from Ken's original GDP lineage - the resulting Grand Cognac inherits both the citrusy complexity of its mother and the grape flavors and purple potential from its indica-dominant father. The strain's terpene profile doesn't fully mature until around the 8th week of flowering, initially presenting as soft and skunky before developing its characteristic cognac-like aroma that gives the strain its name.

Grand Cognac Strain Growing Information
Grand Cognac is considered easy to grow with above average to high yields. Flowering time is 8.5-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest in the northern hemisphere from mid to end of October. The plant tends toward a 'pole plant' contour and is compact with tight internodal spacing and very dense buds covered in trichomes, making it excellent for hash production. Growers can achieve a gram per watt with HPS lighting or even more with modern LEDs. The plant is often a heavy drinker requiring careful water management and occasional defoliation. It can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. Note that the strain is somewhat susceptible to spider mites, requiring preventative measures.
