Dude I actually picked up 2 cuts of the cali clone only gdp last month. So this is crazy...they're in veg and I transplanted them last night, and no lie these girls stank like the legendary cali gdp I used to get in the mid 2000s. No bullshit. I haven't smelt the smell in a while but its so distinct. The nose on them is simply beautiful. Can't wait to flower them!
Do you know why it was discontinued?

I've heard he lost the original parent cuts, not sure if that's true.. It reminds me of some of the cookie/ cake strains Ive been growing in the past few years. GDP if done properly can still hold it own today next to fire strains that come out these days, I personally think its that good.

Ya nothing compares to the real deal grandaddy purp, all candyland crosses come from it, I even think some cookie genetics comes from gdp..

That was/is an awesome tasting cut.
When I was living in Cali back in 09 I did a nice run of several purple cuts. Purple Ak, purple urkel, gdp and purple kush. All were spot on with the urkel, p kush and GDP rocking those purp terps hard.

You got the holy trinity of purp in that list. Ya I'm excited about this cut. I should be able to get it to purp out nice this summer if I leave my minisplit on when the light go out. Maybe just once in a while for a few hours, cause that would up the electric bill. Heard you need a bit of cooler temps to get gdp to purp out a bit. Thing is- with proper gdp I always found it to have a very nice subtle lavender purp to it. Not like an overbearing purple you see on some buds today. You know the ones that make the buds look dark, almost black. Never really liked that. Always like the light, subtle purple color, especially the gdp. Man I loved that weed back in the day! Such a great chill high also.
I know what you mean, I've always thought the darker the purple, the less terps to it and usually not as potent either.....I like that bright violet purple color...that gives more grape/purp flavor and potency in my experience

I grabbed a pack from the Tude a couple months back and found this lil gem... I've never had one turn color so early on, without cold temps. Pretty excited to see what she does. I read a huge thread of people arguing about the strain, and almost didn't grab it, but I'm glad I did.

Actually funny I didn't realize what I wrote, I got a cut of the "clone only gdp" that was the cali cut. keyword- clone only. Someone else can probably elaborate further but ken estes real deal gdp was only available via cuts. Ken Estes seeds I think didn't start coming around till mid to late 00s. Pretty sure gdp was never available in seeds. I know kenestes GDP is a seed company but I'm guessing the seeds are crosses, f2s, or self'd gdp. If you like GDP you should look into dungeon vault genetics these day anyways. Dude used to work with ken and started his own company with his own line- grandpas breath was his original flagship seed strain. DVG is the shit, I've grown there grandpas breath, foul mouth, brandywine, now running grand slam and purple jellato. Some of the sweetest, terpiest, purpiest, and frosty buds I've grown.

Haha nah you're good dude. Your shit looks nice by the way. I was just saying I thought gdp was always clone only. I could be wrong.
