Purple Urkle strain (aka Purple Urple, Purple Urkel)

This award-winning variety has a history as complex as its flavor and effect profiles. Before we dive into the details, let’s run through the basic Purple Urkle strain info:

Purple Urkle strain description

The Purple Urkle weed is an indica-dominant hybrid with surprisingly balanced effects. 

It originated on the West coast and immediately became a favorite among medical users for its heavenly aroma and healing properties. Its potency soon put it on the radar of exclusively recreational users, too.

The fragrance makes your mouth water as early as the first whiff, with powerful notes of grape and earthy sweetness. The fruity flavor persists on your tongue, followed by a hint of berries and an undertone of pure Skunk weed.

Although not the most potent cannabis herb in the Homegrown library, the Purple Urkle strain THC levels are nothing to scoff at, regularly surpassing 20%. Stoners call this one a ‘two-hitter-quitter,’ meaning that two hits are enough to feel the full scope of its effects.

The strain of Purple Urkle sends a mellow, euphoric high right to the brain. Stress and tension lift off your shoulders with the initial puff, leaving room for pure bliss to come. You’ll find yourself feeling upbeat, creative, focused, and clear-headed in no time. 

An intense physical calm accompanies cerebral intoxication. It’s an ideal smoke for the end of a tiring day, melting away chronic pain and worries in one stroke and putting even the insomniacs among us to deep, restful sleep. 

Purple Urkle strain grow information

The Purple Urkle strain develops like a quintessential indica, growing short and stout and blossoming into dense, cone-shaped buds. It doesn’t tend to stretch over 35-45 inches tall, making it ideal for low-headroom indoor cultivation setups. 

In that case, it requires controlled conditions but isn’t too fussy about any of them. You won’t run into any significant issues, except perhaps with patience. The Purple Urkle flowering time is quite long, often reaching the 10-week mark.

Open-air growers will have a similarly straightforward experience. All it takes is ample sunshine and a warm environment, and you’ll be ready to harvest between the second and the third week of October. The Purple Urkle strain yield remains generous outdoors, with up to 14 ounces of flower per plant.

Handy tips for taking care of a Purple Urkle plant include:

• Prune and trim. This cannabis plant has dense foliage, making some TLC crucial to ensure optimal light exposure.
• Try SOG. The sea of green works wonders with these bushy crops, further increasing the already bountiful harvests.
• Watch for nutrition issues. A nutrient deficiency could be the death of this marijuana cultivar. A balanced nute solution is ideal.

Purple Urkle strain genetics

The Purple Urkle cannabis strain first showed up on the California medical marijuana scene in the late 1980s. The origins of this gorgeous cultivar are still unclear, but the current consensus places them in Mendocino County.
