Grandmommy Purple
Herbies Seeds' stunning indica masterpiece. Breathtaking purple colors, intoxicating grape flavors, and deeply relaxing effects that melt away stress.
Grandmommy Purple is an original creation from Herbies Seeds, bred by crossing the legendary Big Bud with Purple Urkle. This indica-dominant powerhouse (80% Indica / 20% Sativa) has quickly become one of the most popular purple strains in Canada, prized for its bag appeal, incredible potency, and therapeutic effects.
With THC levels reaching an impressive 33%, Grandmommy Purple delivers a powerful body high that starts with gentle euphoria before settling into deep, full-body relaxation. The flavor profile is dominated by sweet grape and berry notes with earthy undertones - like a fine wine for cannabis connoisseurs.
Stunning Visual Appeal
What sets Grandmommy Purple apart is its breathtaking appearance. The buds develop deep purple, blue, and violet hues contrasted with bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. Even the sugar leaves turn purple, making this strain a showstopper in any garden.
While some purple strains require cold temperatures to show color, Grandmommy Purple's high anthocyanin content means it will display purple tones in most growing conditions. Cooler nighttime temperatures (15-18°C) during late flowering will enhance the colors even further.
Perfect Evening Strain
Grandmommy Purple is best enjoyed in the evening or before bed. The heavy indica effects provide excellent relief from insomnia, chronic pain, and stress. Canadian medical cannabis users particularly appreciate its consistent, predictable effects for nighttime symptom management.
Indoor Growing Tips
- Veg under 18/6 light schedule, switch to 12/12 for flowering
- SCROG or LST training recommended for even canopy
- Keep temperatures at 24-26°C during day, drop to 18-20°C at night during late flower
- Maintain 40-50% humidity during flowering to prevent mold
- The dense buds benefit from good airflow and defoliation
- Support heavy branches in late flower - Big Bud genetics mean heavy colas
Outdoor Growing in Canada
- Best suited for southern Ontario, BC, and Maritime climates
- Plant outdoors after last frost (late May/early June)
- Expect harvest in early to mid-October
- Natural temperature drops in fall enhance purple coloring
- Watch for mold in dense buds during wet fall weather
- Consider greenhouse growing for extended season protection
Maximizing Purple Color
To bring out the deepest purple colors, drop nighttime temperatures to 15-18°C during the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. This temperature difference triggers anthocyanin production. Indoor growers can achieve this with AC or by running lights during cooler nighttime hours.
Recreational Effects
The high begins with a gentle wave of euphoria that melts into deep physical relaxation. Expect couch-lock and eventual sleepiness - perfect for unwinding.
Medical Applications
Highly effective for insomnia and chronic pain. The sedative properties help those struggling with sleep disorders achieve restful, uninterrupted sleep.
