Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 70%Sativa 30%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Grandaddy Purple

Introduction: Granddaddy Purple Feminized is one of the most well known purple cannabis strains in the US with up to 23% THC. This ultimate indica hybrid was created by merging two strains with fantastic genetics. Genetics: Granddaddy Purple Feminized is the product of crossing Purple Urkle and Big Bud. The results are a spitting image of it’s two parents. Deep and purplish hue with very dense and big buds. She is a beautiful and extremely photogenic strain. The dark purplish buds blend well with the bright orange hairs and frosted white trichomes that generously cover the whole bud. Strain characteristics: Granddaddy Purple Feminized grows very well outdoors but she performs even better in an indoor environment. It usually takes 10 to 11 weeks for her to finish. Watch for her oversized buds because they might weigh down the plant a bit. Especially when growing outdoors. When growing indoors this is less of a problem because of it’s shorter and stocky nature. You might want to give her a little bit of support around week 6 of flowering if you notice the buds are wearing down the plant’s frame. Expect great yields from this amazing lady.
