Granddaddy Purple Ultraviolet
Also known as: GDP Ultraviolet, Granddaddy Purple UV
What is the Granddaddy Purple Ultraviolet strain?
Granddaddy Purple Ultraviolet is a indica cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and candy flavor profile.
Granddaddy Purple Ultraviolet is an enhanced indica-dominant strain developed by Lucky 13 Seed Company through crossing their stabilized Granddaddy Purple (IBL F6) with their Frostberry Ultraviolet male. This strain represents a significant improvement over the original Granddaddy Purple, addressing its main weaknesses while preserving all desirable characteristics. The original GDP was created by Ken Estes in 2003 from Purple Urkle and Big Bud genetics, but suffered from slow vegetative growth and late finishing times that limited outdoor cultivation in northern climates. Lucky 13's Ultraviolet enhancement comes from a unique male plant selected from their super early Frostberry line, named for its gorgeous purple pollen sacks reminiscent of African Violets. This enhancement creates an absolutely bulletproof strain that finishes an entire month earlier than the original GDP while maintaining enhanced vigor, yield, resin production, and guaranteed exotic coloration. The strain exhibits the classic deep purple buds with bright orange hairs and heavy trichome coverage that made the original famous, but with significantly improved environmental stress tolerance and faster maturation.

Granddaddy Purple Ultraviolet is considered moderately easy to grow with significantly improved characteristics over the original GDP. The strain exhibits much improved vigor and yield with outstanding resin production. Flowering time is reduced to approximately 8-9 weeks (compared to the original's 10+ weeks), making it suitable for northern outdoor cultivation. Plants develop a sturdy indica structure with medium height and require support around day 60 due to heavy bud development.
