Burkle
Burkle
Also known as: Berkel, Berkle
Overview
Burkle is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Pre-98 Bubba Kush with Granddaddy Purple, though some sources suggest Purple Urkle may have been used instead. With roughly 75% indica genetics (sativa/indica ratio of 25:75), this strain won third place for Best Indica at the 2016 High Times Cannabis Cup in Denver. THC content ranges from 15% to 27% with an average of approximately 19%, making it a potent medical choice, while CBD remains minimal at about 0.2%.
Burkle produces larger than average, chunky, rounded buds with an unmistakably indica internal structure featuring small, wide leaves that spiral tightly inward. The most striking feature is their multicolored leaves forming a patchwork of yellowish green and deep purple, the latter coming from anthocyanin pigments activated by cold weather during growing. Appearance ranges from neon green to dark purple combinations, with dense but jagged leaves featuring vibrant orange pistils and yellowish trichomes. These compact, dwarfish plants typically grow only around 2.5 feet tall but display a kaleidoscope of colors reflecting every spectrum, with intensely purple leaves marked with green and frost.

Growing Information
Growing difficulty is considered beginner-friendly as Burkle isn't extraordinarily picky, though plants do better in indoor setups than outdoors where you can provide ideal temperature and humidity without mold risk. Flowering time is 8-9 weeks indoors (56-63 days) or mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. Expected yields are moderate: up to 1.5 ounces per square foot indoors and up to 1.7 ounces per plant outdoors. Plants like warm, sunny, Mediterranean-type climates but grow well indoors too. For full color development, nighttime temperatures should drop 10-15 degrees before flowering begins. The compact, short stature (around 2.5 feet) makes it advantageous for small indoor grow spaces.
