Glad that's over with.
The real GDP is clone only...Kens GDP is a hybrid.
Yeah, i heard the same story about most of those purps being phenos of the old school mendo purpsThere are so many stories about GDP andveven Ken Estes GDP.Ken himself has changed up the story so many times I can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth!
The true original GDP's lineage is unkown and there are many stories about it's lineage.
One of thoses stories is that all the old school purple genetics (Purple Urkle,GDP,Grape Ape,etc.) are in fact the same strain under different names,or different phenotypes of the same strain.
Yeah,pretty much that's how the most believable story goes.Yeah, i heard the same story about most of those purps being phenos of the old school mendo purps
since i love the aroma and taste of this shit....um just glad i found this pheno...um gonna clone my ass off now...i been trying for 2 years to get this color taste smell and potency...so um gonna practice the perfect cure for my favorite strain.....MY BAD PHENO...DAM IT PHENO!!!I have Ken's GDP clone from his store in the bay area, it is nearly shit... The real clone of his GDP tastes shitty, WILL NOT purple without temps in the 40s, and the yield is just so-so. Your plants look nice but they look different than the clone, the clone looks more like a BigBud hybrid that does not get big.
Kens GPD clone is just a Big Bud hybrid with medium quality.

The odd thing is, on Kens website, his GDP seeds are suppose to be a "Champagne" varient.. Sounds to me like we have conflicting stories.
Hey pSi:
Were those all your plant labels that had "kens gdp" i saw at the landfill, back around 6 months ago/maybe a year, when i was dumping my shit? I'm pretty sure we live near one another. That would be a fuckin trip

Damm! Gdp is that old huh, cool. I was still getting by with huge yeilding strainsback then. I was driving up to humbolt in 1990, to score some unique flavors from a good friend, but no purps in my circle back then. We had some good shit were i was at to though(santacruzmountains)The real GDP I got back in the mid/late 90's was extremely fruity.
The one i had was still killer shit though. But, i would only get like 1-1/4 per light, and said fuck that shit lolhell yeah, fruity and spicy is what everyone wants. I have the older versions of Granddads purp, extremely nice! large flowers which purple in the 60s, tastes like candy and sugars when smoked, very nice!
I lump Ken's GDP (clone) in the profile similar to Skunk #1, after all, BigBud is a Skunk#1 hybrid. His seeds might be the Purple Urkle x Champagne, which would be much better than urkle x bigbud.
The Purple Urkle is what I like, leave out the BigBud and gimme the pure!

Yep,and I'm in the S.E. USA but good friends all over Cali (North and South) and some in Colorado too.Damm! Gdp is that old huh, cool. I was still getting by with huge yeilding strainsback then.

I know. It was said back then to be an abominationyup, still, what about Purple Urkle x Sensi Star? or BlueBerry? but Big Bud, wtf?
Mofo's are blowing shit up, and getting busted making that shit here. Rookies......heheheheYep,and I'm in the S.E. USA but good friends all over Cali (North and South) and some in Colorado too.
Been getting some excellent and I mean excellent wax and shatter from all of them lately and at astronomically low prices too.
I have it running now, Seeds were from Paradise and 1996.. I got 2 main pheno's, an Ogre-type that looked to be almost 100% Afghani-Kush, large flowers and long and thin hairs. The second pheno is the one I kept and I am backcrossing it to have lots of killer seeds. the second pheno has short and fat hairs which fill out to a very frosted spear. Some of the finest smoke I have ever seen. Spicy / hashy and the quality is insane.The legit old school Sensi Star was spectacular!
