Granddaddy Purple, commonly known as GDP, is one of the most iconic indica strains in cannabis history, known for its deep grape-and-berry flavor, vibrant purple buds, and heavy, full-body relaxation. A cross of Purple Urkle × Big Bud, GDP was introduced in 2003 by Ken Estes and quickly became the gold standard for purple cannabis — setting the template that every purple strain since has been measured against. The terpene profile is rich and fruity: sweet grape candy, mixed berry, and a smooth, floral finish with subtle earthy undertones. For NYC consumers looking for a powerful nighttime strain with classic flavor and proven genetics, Granddaddy Purple remains the benchmark.

Granddaddy Purple (GDP)
Granddaddy Purple delivers a rich grape candy and mixed berry flavor with a smooth floral finish and one of the most recognizable indica highs in cannabis — deep physical relaxation, dreamy euphoria, and a slow, sedating fade into calm. GDP has been a top-selling nighttime strain in NYC for over two decades, and its purple buds and sweet fruit terpenes make it one of the most visually and aromatically appealing strains on any dispensary shelf.

Purple Urkle
Purple Urkle is a direct parent of GDP and one of the original purple indica strains that defined the category. It delivers a deep grape-and-lavender flavor with heavy, sedating body effects and a dreamy, sleepy finish. Purple Urkle is the genetic source of GDP’s color, its grape terpene profile, and its signature nighttime potency — the foundation that everything in this family is built on.

Big Bud
Big Bud is the other parent of GDP, known for its massive flower production, heavy yields, and smooth, relaxing indica effects. The flavor is sweet and earthy with a subtle spice, and the high is calm and physical without being overwhelmingly sedating. Big Bud gives the GDP line its dense bud structure and its reputation for bag appeal — the sheer size and frost that consumers notice immediately.

Cherry Pie
Cherry Pie crosses Granddaddy Purple with Durban Poison, blending GDP’s sweet berry-grape flavor with the sharp, uplifting sativa energy of the Durban landrace. The result is a balanced, euphoric hybrid with tart cherry and earthy sweetness. Cherry Pie is a critical connector strain — it links the GDP family to the Durban Poison lineage and carries the cherry terpenes that show up in strains like Lemon Cherry Gelato.

Purple Punch
Purple Punch crosses GDP with Larry OG, combining deep grape-and-berry indica relaxation with the gassy, earthy potency of OG genetics. The flavor is sweet grape candy with a smooth, dessert-like finish, and the effects are heavy — full-body sedation with a blissful, stress-free headspace. Purple Punch has become one of the most popular indica strains in NYC and a parent of modern hits like Wedding Crasher.
