Grandaddy Pupil
Also known as: GDP Pupil, Granddaddy Purple Pupil
Grandaddy Pupil Strain Overview
Grandaddy Pupil is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular indica-dominant Granddaddy Purple with the sativa-dominant Durban Poison. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that combines the relaxing body effects of its indica parent with the cerebral stimulation of its sativa lineage. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a more balanced version of the classic Granddaddy Purple, maintaining its therapeutic qualities while adding mental clarity and energy.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple hues interwoven with bright green calyxes and a generous coating of trichomes. The purple coloration, inherited from its Granddaddy Purple parent, becomes more pronounced as the plant matures and experiences cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking contrast that makes this strain easily recognizable among cannabis connoisseurs.
Grandaddy Pupil is known for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet berry and grape notes from its Granddaddy Purple lineage with the spicy, earthy undertones contributed by Durban Poison. The flavor profile similarly blends these characteristics, offering users a sweet, fruity inhale followed by spicy, herbal notes on the exhale. This strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and reliable performance in various growing conditions.

Grandaddy Pupil Strain Growing Information
Grandaddy Pupil is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-180 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to enhance purple coloration and implementing proper support structures as the dense buds can become heavy. The strain is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but benefits from good air circulation.
