It started with the Wake and Bake...
Oh the Grand daddy of the them all the GDP. An older strain, Granddaddy Purple is an indica dominate strain that originated from crossing Purple Erkle with Big Bud. Both parent strains are fantastic in their own rights and the cross led to a legend in the making.
The smoke of the GDP is very smooth with a strong fruity, grapey, berry aroma and taste. It is quite delicious and the high is fantastic. As with all cannabis, results will vary with individuals. As a chronic pain sufferer, I tend to prefer the indica dominant strains and GDP is no exception. One could relate the body high from this medicine to the couch or recliner. It tends to be a more sedative effect with a floaty euphoric mental high.
I find this to be an exceptional strain for a wake and bake as my pain is at its peek when I wake in the morning. On a side note, if you are not a daily or experienced cannabis user, I would not recommend this as a morning smoke for you. If you do you may find that your day becomes a little less productive and a little more fun... but who complains about that.
Please let me know if you have tried GDP and what your opinions are on the wonderful cannabis strain.

Oh how I would love to have access to this strain... sounds like the perfect strain for my back.
It is a wonderful medicine. I am a big fan of most indicas but have certainly found different varieties to give different effects.
I got seeds from the strain when it first came out I was highly anticipating it. After I grew it I was amazingly disappointed. It really didn't have the yield I was expecting or the quality and potency. But that really doesn't mean much when I like something it's tasty. And again this really can't live up to mine high expectations.
It is pretty good but it's not a winner. It had way too much hype and didn't deliver the goods.
I agree that it is probably not the top choice and there was a lot of hype on it. I have grown many different purples through out the years and I don't believe any of them were ever top score for potency. On the other hand if you happen to be a grower/breeder and have the opportunity to be selective you can usually find a phenotype that is just a little bit more special. In doing so you can find purples that compete. I have used bubblegum for a parent stock for years and still would again today. It is not the strongest weed ever and nor is it the fastest growing but when selected and bred with the right other strains it makes magik. I am a big fan of Lumberjack Seeds. Vader and the crew have done some exceptional work with their selective breeding. I think I am just babbling now so yeah...
Peace
