Take Granddaddy Purple, the other California purple benchmark, and put it over 707 Chemdog, 707's heavily worked Chemdog #4 line. That is Granddaddy Dawg. Bred in the Emerald Triangle for the Emerald Triangle, which is a narrower brief than most breeders set themselves.
Written this way, Granddaddy Purple is the mother and 707 Chemdog the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.
Genetic Lineage
- Mother: Granddaddy Purple. The other California purple benchmark. Its own cross is contested - its breeder gives Mendo Purps, Skunk and Afghan, while many sources give Purple Urkle x Big Bud. The lineage argument is the interesting part: the breeder's own account gives Mendo Purps, Skunk and Afghan, while most third-party listings give Purple Urkle crossed to Big Bud. Those are different plants and no source reconciles them.
- Father: 707 Chemdog. 707's heavily worked Chemdog #4 line. Built from given as Chemdog #4, backcrossed over several generations. Generations of backcrossing is what turned it from a cut into something other breeders want to build on, which is the point of an IBL.
- The point of the pairing. Neither parent needed rescuing. Putting them together is about what sits between them, not about fixing either one.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
- The Aroma. Sweet, fruity and floral over an earthy base.
- The Taste. Sweet grape with a berry finish.
What each side brings
- Timing. Granddaddy Purple runs around eight weeks, and that is the half of this cross you can actually plan around.
Cultivation and Growth Traits
- Plant Structure. Indica-built, heavy colour.
- Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
- Flowering Time. Granddaddy Purple runs around eight weeks. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.
Effects and Experience
- The Mind. Growers describe Granddaddy Purple as settled and heavy.
- The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
In the pack
