Grand Daddy Purple Fast Version Feminized Seeds (EGS)

Let me tell you the whole story because this strain deserves it. I was skeptical about "fast versions" - thought they'd sacrifice quality for speed. Boy was I wrong!

Started 5 seeds, all popped within 48 hours. Vegged for about 4 weeks under a cheap LED. Noticed the leaves starting to purple even in veg! Flipped to flower and things got magical. By week 3 of flower, the buds were forming those perfect little grape-shaped nugs, and the smell... oh man, grape soda with fresh earth and a hint of diesel.

Harvested at 7.5 weeks (could've gone 8 but needed the space). The dry weight surprised me - over 4oz per plant! The smoke test confirmed everything: smooth, sweet inhale with a heavy body high that creeps up on you. Perfect for pain relief and sleep.

Only downside? My friends keep asking for it and I'm running out! Already ordered more seeds. Herbies came through with the real deal GDP genetics in a fast-flowering package. Recommend to anyone who loves classic kush but hates waiting.

Total newbie here, but GDP made me look like I knew what I was doing! Purple buds, the sweet grape smell was insane. Finished super quick (around 8 weeks), stayed short, and survived my overwatering mistakes, lol. Smoke is super relaxing—perfect for chilling after work. Will 100% grow again! 🌿💜

Bro I just… wow. Grown a few strains from Herbies, but this GDP Fast is next level. Knocks me out better than melatonin lol. Buds are sticky icky, tastes like berries and diesel, and the high lasts for hours.

You’ll wanna eat your whole fridge tho #WorthIt

works as advertised. fast.purple. potent. what more do you need?

When Herbies announced this fast version of one of my all-time favorite strains, I knew I had to document the entire process. Here's my comprehensive review:

GENETICS: Authentic GDP lineage shines through. No corners cut in the breeding.

GROWTH: Vigorous from the start. Responded well to both LST and SCROG. Not fussy about nutrients, though they do like a bit extra cal-mag during flowering.

FLOWERING: True to its name, flowers developed rapidly. Pistils showed by day 5 of flip. Bud structure is classic GDP - dense, resinous nugs that stack beautifully.

AROMA: Complex terpene profile. Starts with sweet berries in early flower, develops into that signature grape-kush funk by harvest.

EFFECTS: Exactly what you want from GDP. Heavy body relaxation without being sedating at lower doses. At higher doses, perfect sleep aid.

MEDICAL USE: Excellent for my arthritis pain and insomnia. Also helps with appetite stimulation.

FINAL VERDICT:
____
Pros:

Faster than original GDP

Same great effects

Beautiful colors

Good yield
____
Cons:

None really, unless you dislike getting really high

This is now my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting medical-grade cannabis without the long wait.

Ps. Where are the "Advantage" and "Disadvantage" sections?

This strain is everything I hoped for and more! From the first hit, I was teleported to couch-lock heaven with a side of euphoric bliss. The grapey, berry-kush flavor is so intense, it’s like smoking a bag of purple candy. I grew two plants in living soil under a Spider Farmer SF-2000, and even with my mediocre skills, they turned into frosty, dense nug machines. Yielded just over 4oz per plant after a 9-week flower—not bad for a "fast" version!

Not buying more seeds. Now I’m desperately waiting for Herbie’s 4/20 promo so I can grab a stupid amount of these at some discount. If you love classic GDP but hate long flower times, this is your holy grail. 10/10 would grow again… and again… and again. Hurry up, 4/20!

ya’ll… i was NOT ready for how fire this fast GDP is. like, i’ve grown the regular version before and it took forever, but this?? same insane purple nugs, same knockout high, but wayyy quicker. smells like grape candy and hits like a truck. 12/10

Shoutout to the Herbies agent who insisted I try this, y’all know your strains! GDP Fast is exactly what I needed: heavy purple buds dripping in trichomes, smelling like a grape soda factory. Instant stress-melting body buzz with zero couchlock, I can actually watch a movie without passing out. 10/10 would listen to Herbies’ chat again. Promo code when? 🍇

Fast GDP = cheat code. Flowered in like, what, 7 weeks? Buds are dense, frosty, and the high is amazing
Only gripe? Wish the package had a lil more info on feeding, but I winged it and she turned out fire. Def recommend for quick harvests without sacrificing quality

If you’re after that iconic purple aesthetic and sweet berry flavor, this is the strain for you. Even with a quicker harvest, the colors came through beautifully under cooler temps

Yield was solid, and the smoke was smooth with a heavy, calming effect!

Definitely keeping this one in my rotation!!!

I’ve run this strain twice now, and both times it delivered. The plants stayed compact but stacked with resinous buds. The "fast" aspect didn’t sacrifice quality, terps were loud, and the high was long-lasting. Perfect for when you want GDP but don’t want to wait forever.

This was my first time trying a fast version and honestly, I’m impressed. Granddaddy Purple Fast didn’t waste any time — flowered quick and still gave me dense, frosty purple buds. The smell during late flower was amazing, like straight-up grape candy with a bit of funk. High is smooth and heavy, great for chilling out in the evening. Perfect for stress or just shutting your brain off after a long day. Super chill grow too, didn’t need much babysitting.

🔥🔥🔥💜💜 loved it

I have been growing various GPDs for 20something years now, this one might be my new fave but

not all germinated

now waiting for replacement though, will be 5/5 if next package gets 100% germ

My overthinking met its match. Relaxes my body without fogging my head. Bonus: grew like a weed (duh) despite my neglect. Smokes smooth, tastes sweet, and works. Lifesaver.🌱🌱🌱

Smooth grow with a solid yield. Perfect for tight schedules or unpredictable weather. Looks killer, smells even better

dat gdp = instant sleep mode. gorgeous purple buds, grape candy flavor, and a body melt that shuts my brain off. two hits and I’m out, no groggy mornings. my new nightly ritual.

This one I grew with zero fuss. Stayed compact, handled everything like a champ. Pulled some dense, sticky buds without breaking a sweat

Let's be real - when another "purple strain" hits the market, I roll my eyes so hard I see my brain. But GDP Fast? Fine. I'll admit it. This one's different.

What I Expected: Another overhyped bag appeal strain with mids-level potency and the terp profile of a grape Jolly Rancher left in a hot car.

What I Got:

Day 42: Plants started showing color like they were in a goddamn Pantene commercial

Day 55: My drying room smelled like someone murdered a grape pixie in there (in a good way)

Day 60: Smoked a joint and forgot I was mad about capitalism for three whole hours

Is it revolutionary? No. Does it deliver exactly what it promises with zero bullshit? Shockingly, yes. Fine. Take my money, Herbies

I had a bit of a rocky start with this one—two out of five seeds didn’t germinate, which was frustrating. However, after reaching out to Herbies’ customer service, they quickly resolved the issue and sent replacements without any hassle.

Once the remaining seeds got going, the grow was smooth and relatively uneventful. the plants stayed compact, perfect for my small grow space, and transitioned to flowering quickly, living up to the Fast Version name. The buds developed dense, frosty, and packed with that classic GDP grapey-kush aroma with a hint of berry sweetness.

The high is exactly what you’d expect from a Grand Daddy Purple descendant—deeply relaxing, mildly sedating, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. The flavor is smooth, with sweet grape and earthy undertones. Yield was decent, around 3.5 oz per plant, which I’m happy with given the smaller stature.

Knocking off one star solely for the germination hiccup, but the end product was worth the initial hassle. If you’re a fan of GDP and want a quicker finish, this is a solid choice—just maybe grab an extra seed or two, just in case. Thanks again to Herbies for making things right!

grabbed these seeds hoping they’d help our folks with some health issues. super easy to grow, no hassle at all. plants flowered fast, way quicker than expected. harvest time came early, and the buds hit just right

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!!! Just wanted to share my NEW FAVORIT strain Grand Daddy Purple the FAST one!!! I grew it with help from my grandson "Jeffy" (he says I should call it GDP Fast but I like the long name better!). It helps my ARTHRITIS and makes me feel like I'm 25 AGAIN!!! Not that kind of 25 if you know what I mean WINK WINK!!! The buds are SO PRETTY like little purple Christmas trees!!! Only problem is now the bridge club wants me to share but I say FIND YOUR OWN MEDICINE LADIES!!! 5 STARS!!! THANK YOU HERBIES!!!

Look. The baby hasn't slept since 2019. I haven't slept since the Obama administration. My partner was about to leave me because apparently "constant screaming is stressful" (who knew?). Enter GDP Fast - two hits after bedtime and suddenly I'm:

Pain-free (bad hips from rocking this tiny dictator)

Actually hungry (shoutout to the entire leftover lasagna I just inhaled)

Weirdly okay with watching Bluey for the 47th time!

Grew it in a closet during maternity leave. Even with the half-assed care you'd expect from someone surviving on dry shampoo and cold coffee, it yielded beautiful purple nugs that smell like grape bubblegum and forgiveness. 10/10 would parent again (with this strain, not the baby lolol)

This one hits hard. The first wave melts away stress and pain, while larger doses knock you out for the night

The smoke is sweet, with juicy berry and citrus notes, and the aftertaste has a nice grape finish. Definitely not something to underestimate. This stuff means business

Grand Daddy Purple Fast Version is the rare strain that delivers heritage flavor in half the time. The aroma is intoxicating: blackberry jam, earthy musk, and a hint of spicy grape — like a fine wine. Buds cure to deep violet with fiery orange pistils, and the smoke is velvety smooth. Effect: full-body relaxation without sedation, ideal for evening sophistication.

This isn’t just weed; it’s an experience.

This purple beauty was a solid grow. The plants stayed around 4 feet tall, with dense, resin-coated buds. Yields were impressive, even with the shorter flowering time. Some branches needed support due to the weight of the colas, but overall, it was a smooth run with great results! 🚀
