Granddaddy BX
Also known as: Granddaddy BX1, Granddaddy Backcross
Granddaddy BX Strain Overview
Granddaddy BX is a stabilized backcross of the classic Granddaddy Purple strain, developed to enhance and preserve its most desirable traits. The strain originated in California during the early 2000s as breeders sought to refine the original Granddaddy Purple genetics, which itself is a cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud. This backcrossing process involved breeding Granddaddy Purple with itself or closely related phenotypes to create a more consistent expression of its signature characteristics while maintaining genetic stability across generations.
The strain is renowned for its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, conical buds that display a deep purple coloration often accented with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production triggered by cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Granddaddy BX typically exhibits a compact, bushy growth structure characteristic of indica-dominant varieties, with broad leaves that may also show purple hues.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile and potent effects. The strain has gained particular recognition within cannabis culture for its reliability and enhanced expression of the original Granddaddy Purple's most sought-after qualities, making it a favorite among both cultivators and consumers seeking a consistent, high-quality indica experience. Its development represents a deliberate effort to preserve and improve upon a foundational strain in the purple cannabis lineage.

Granddaddy BX Strain Growing Information
Granddaddy BX is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 9 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a temperate climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues, particularly due to its dense bud structure.
Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The plant maintains a relatively compact height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Granddaddy BX responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include temperature manipulation during the flowering phase to enhance purple coloration—exposing plants to nighttime temperatures of 10-15°F below daytime temperatures can intensify purple hues. The strain requires good air circulation and careful monitoring for pests and mold due to its dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage.
