Grand Daddy Pink
Also known as: GDP Pink, Granddaddy Pink
Grand Daddy Pink Strain Overview
Grand Daddy Pink is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a modern evolution of the classic Granddaddy Purple lineage. This strain was developed by crossing the renowned Granddaddy Purple with Pink Kush, combining the best characteristics of both parent strains. The result is a visually striking plant that inherits the deep purple coloration from its Granddaddy Purple heritage while incorporating the resin production and aromatic complexity of Pink Kush. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to enhance the already popular Granddaddy Purple with additional flavor dimensions and potency.
Visually, Grand Daddy Pink is notable for its dense, chunky buds that display a remarkable color spectrum ranging from deep forest green to vibrant purple, often accented with fiery orange pistils. The flowers are typically coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance. The strain's name reflects both its genetic lineage and its distinctive coloration, with the 'Pink' component referring to both its Pink Kush ancestry and the pinkish hues that sometimes appear in the pistils and sugar leaves.
The aroma profile of Grand Daddy Pink is complex and multi-layered, combining sweet berry notes from its Granddaddy Purple side with earthy, floral undertones from the Pink Kush genetics. When properly cured, the buds release a fragrance that evolves from initial grape and berry notes to deeper earthy and spicy aromas upon breaking apart. The flavor experience mirrors the aroma, with a smooth smoke that delivers sweet berry flavors on the inhale and earthy, slightly spicy notes on the exhale.

Grand Daddy Pink Strain Growing Information
Grand Daddy Pink is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper temperature control during flowering to encourage the development of purple coloration, which is enhanced by cooler nighttime temperatures. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds, and they respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support bud development.
