Grand Daddy Genetics – The Original Purple Powerhouse
Grand Daddy Genetics was founded in 2003 by legendary California breeder and medical cannabis advocate Ken Estes. With over 40 years of cultivation experience, the brand blends old-school passion with high-grade innovation—shaping the global cannabis scene with iconic strains, therapeutic potency, and a bold West Coast legacy.
Their flagship strain, Granddaddy Purple (GDP), is one of the most recognised and awarded indicas of all time. A cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud, GDP is known for its grape and berry aroma, vivid purple hues, and deeply relaxing effects. It has won multiple High Times Cannabis Cups and remains a staple in both medical and recreational markets worldwide.
Other award-winning cultivars in the Grand Daddy catalogue include Bay 11—winner of the 2011 High Times Cup for Best Sativa—alongside standout genetics like XJ-13, Phantom Cookies, and Platinum Cookies. Each strain is bred with stability, terpene expression, and grower satisfaction in mind.
Still proudly based in California, Grand Daddy Genetics remains an independent force in cannabis breeding—trusted by dispensaries, patients, and breeders across the globe. They’re committed to producing elite-quality seeds for home growers and connoisseurs alike.
Overgrow is proud to bring these legendary purple-powered genetics to South African growers. If you’re chasing flavour, potency, and unmistakable purple bag appeal—Grand Daddy Genetics delivers the real deal.
