Granddaddy Breath
Also known as: Granddaddy Breath OG, Granddaddy Breath Kush
Granddaddy Breath Strain Overview
Granddaddy Breath is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary cultivars: Granddaddy Purple and Mendo Breath. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to create a plant that would inherit the iconic purple coloration and relaxing effects of Granddaddy Purple while incorporating the complex flavor profile and resin production of Mendo Breath. The resulting hybrid has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds that exhibit a striking visual presentation. The flowers often display deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant green calyxes, complemented by a thick coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating a visually appealing contrast. The plant structure tends to be bushy with indica-dominant characteristics, though it can exhibit some sativa-like branching patterns depending on phenotype expression.
Granddaddy Breath is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, gassy undertones. The strain has become particularly popular in the West Coast cannabis market and has spread to other regions through clone distribution and seed sales. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Granddaddy Breath has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and aesthetic appeal.

Granddaddy Breath Strain Growing Information
Granddaddy Breath is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid to late October 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be managed to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to stay relatively compact, reaching heights of 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, implementing temperature drops during late flowering to encourage purple pigmentation, and providing adequate support for the dense buds. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
