Grandmommy Purple Strain Overview
Grandmommy Purple is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that stands as a highly coveted cultivar celebrated for its unique and potent attributes. This strain traces its roots back to the San Francisco Bay Area in California, where Ken Estes originally created the parent strain Granddaddy Purple during the early 2000s. Grandmommy Purple represents a modern interpretation bred by Herbies Seeds, combining the genetics of two renowned indica strains: Purple Urkle and Big Bud, resulting in a genetic masterpiece with 80% indica dominance. The strain has garnered popularity for its striking deep purple tones, alluring aroma, and robust effects, catering to both recreational and medicinal cannabis users. From Purple Urkle, it inherits rich anthocyanin expression that produces deep violet and plum coloration, especially under cooler growing conditions, while the Urkle influence enhances terpene richness, tipping the aromatic spectrum toward grape candy, berry jam, and earthy sweetness. From Big Bud, the cultivar inherits a high flower-to-leaf ratio and the capacity for outsized colas that remain dense from top to bottom, with plants capable of yielding vivid purple foliage that makes them visually distinctive among cannabis cultivars.

Grandmommy Purple Strain Growing Information
Grandmommy Purple has a moderate growing difficulty level, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain is relatively easy to cultivate and responds well to various training techniques. Flowering time is 60-65 days (8-9 weeks) indoors, making it a relatively quick finisher. Expected yields are 500 g/m² (1.6 oz/ft²) indoors and up to 550 g (19.4 oz) per plant outdoors. Plants grow to a compact and discreet height of 40-140 cm (15.5"-55"), making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and responds well to both hydroponic setups and high-quality soil. Special considerations include the need for a carbon filter during indoor grows due to strong odor production. The vibrant purple hues can be enhanced by exposing plants to cooler temperatures (55-65°F/13-18°C) at night during late flowering to stimulate anthocyanin production.
