Mendo Purple Urkle 3.5 Strain Overview
Mendo Purple Urkle 3.5 is a specific phenotype of the classic Purple Urkle strain that has been stabilized and refined in the Mendocino County region of Northern California. This particular cut, often referred to as the '3.5' version, represents a selection that emphasizes the strain's signature purple coloration, dense bud structure, and potent indica effects. The strain traces its origins to the original Purple Urkle, which itself is believed to be a phenotype of Mendocino Purps, though some sources suggest it may have genetic ties to Granddaddy Purple or other classic purple indica varieties.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, with deep purple to almost black hues that develop in cooler temperatures, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are typically dense and compact, with a grape-like structure that gives them a distinctive appearance. The aroma profile is complex, combining sweet grape and berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of skunkiness that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Mendo Purple Urkle 3.5 has gained particular recognition among connoisseurs for its consistency and potency, with the '3.5' designation often indicating a specific cut that has been carefully selected for optimal expression of the strain's desirable traits. While not as widely available as some commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following in Northern California and among growers who appreciate classic indica genetics with reliable performance and distinctive characteristics.

Mendo Purple Urkle 3.5 Strain Growing Information
Mendo Purple Urkle 3.5 is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Plants tend to stay relatively short and bushy, reaching heights of 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors, making them suitable for both cultivation environments.
Yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically achieving 1-1.5 ounces per square foot under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Cooler nighttime temperatures (around 60°F/15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering will enhance the purple coloration. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and are somewhat sensitive to overfeeding, particularly nitrogen. Good air circulation is important to prevent mold in the dense buds.
