Growing Granddaddy Purple

Granddaddy Purple is a photoperiod strain, so indoor growers switch the lights to 12/12 to start flowering, while outdoor plants respond to the shortening days of late summer on their own. At a medium 3-4 ft with a medium yield, it is an easy fit for a tent, closet, or backyard plot, and cooler night temperatures during flowering can help bring out its deepest purple shades.
