Even though we’ve reviewed Grand Daddy Purple already (read review), I’m happy to have received this GDP review from Vaporizer. Not only does it let me compare the 2 different varieties of GDP, but I LOVE PURPLE WEED!

Grade: A-
Genetics: Purple Urkle x Big Bud

Definitely one of the most “purple-icious” nugs I’ve seen yet. Gotta love Grand Daddy Purple. Thanks Vaporizer. –Chubbs

I don’t know about everyone out there but for some reason I’m just not a huge fan of purple strains. They always taste similar to me, and people always say how much better they are then other types of weed just cause the color. The strongest weed I have ever smoked has been good og kush’s, chemdawg, and super silver haze, none of which are purple. To get this much purple they either had to harvest very late, or had low temperatures. Purp strains do have the bag appeal if your cash croppin, but I feel like there is better tastes out there. Anyway, this stuff still looks bomb and based on your review, sounded like a good smoke, but everyone out there don’t equate purple meaning high quality right off the bat.
meangreenmartian: I agree. I love purple weed because of the way it looks. I have been blazing for 22+ years now and the same old lime green bud with nice trichomes and bright orange hairs gets a little boring. (Just the looks not the buzz)
I have yet to smoke a “purple” strain that gets me as high as a really strong OG Kush but that does not mean I don’t enjoy smoking them. In fact I’d say my top 5 buds have zero purple in them.
And as far as bag appeal, they are the best. But as you say, they do all have a very similar flavor.
I have not been able to smoke any purple strain. But this one sound very nice.
Nice review.
Purple weed is beautiful ..
purple strains are okay in my book mostly because of appearance. I dont have any purple strains in my top 5 list .. Only because purple strains tend to not hit as hard as .. lets say .. OG Master Kush..
Still love the way it looks though ..
purple=awesome because most good purps (like the beauty pictured) are 100% indica. good MK or indica heavy OGs can be more of a ride though.
i would ssay gdp would be in my top 5 even tho its not the best ive had i would rather have this then any other
NEED to get that GDP to Amsterdam and take the Cannabis Cup!
This was one of the first buds I smoked when I moved to Cali. The reason is I had some I had brought from Ga. some purple thrax and let me tell you while the kush’s and a gang of ativas as well are very dank here in Cali but the best purps that I have had have been in Ga.
Does anyone know where the “purple” color come from? Certain genes or what?
@vapor: Can be genes or cool temperatures at night.
I get granddaddy purp all the time and some of it doesnt have any purp at all, and it is still the shit. A grower that I know says it has alot to do with the temperature of the grow. When I buy a good purp I dont look for the purp as much as that sig purp taste and smell.
twylight.. i agree, i just got a batch of purple kush and only some of the nugs are really purple, the rest are light green, but the smell and taste is definately obvious. overall though, love this strain mostly because of the taste! though the flight is not too bad either!
I got some Granddaddy Purple from Harborside in Oakland.
The Clerk told me for my inflammation and joint pain this was the hook-up.
He was spot on. It looks awesome, smells nice and it floats me off to sleep at the end of a hard day.
I prefer this to Kush, as I am mostly looking for pain relief, and not a stone. If that makes any sense.
I’m also a fan. Grandaddy purple is often on the delivery service menu in NYC.
one of my favorite strains…
