Granddaddy Purple strain grow information
This beginner-friendly cultivar is relatively easy to grow and shouldn't give you too much hassle, provided you spend a little time ensuring it has what it needs.
No matter your grow style, the Granddaddy Purple strain will fit right in and flourishes in both soil and hydroponic setups.
It'll prefer to be indoors in colder areas or places that experience large amounts of rain. With thick foliage, the cannabis strain Granddaddy Purple is susceptible to moisture build-up leading to powdery mildew and bud rot if it's exposed to too much moisture. The Granddaddy Purple marijuana strain does best outdoors in temperate, continental, sunny, and Mediterranean climates.
You can expect an 8–10 week flowering time from this beauty with larger than usual harvests and top-quality buds. If you’ve germinated your Granddaddy Purple strain outdoors, you'll most likely harvest around mid-October.
Below we’ve put together some Purple Granddaddy strain grow tips.
- Provide high amounts of phosphorous to encourage maximum yields. Organic guano and kelp are highly recommended for this.
- The SOG technique has proven successful for Grandaddy Purple.
- Maintain a relative humidity of 40-50% and temperatures of between 70 and 80°F. If humidity levels are too high, you’ll be stuck with bud rot.

Dennis - Grandaddy Purple regular, 5 stars
BEAUTIFUL PLANTS
The purple hues can’t be seen with very well with the HPS on but they are beautiful girls! They grew about 6 foot tall in an 5x5 eight foot tall gorilla grow tent. They are much larger than I expected. I purchased 8 beans. All 8 germinated and unfortunately one passed away. Out of the remaining 7 two turned out to be girls. The rest were boys. Both girls were around 6 foot tall. I roped them 4 times and they still were massive.
