What is the Old Time Purple Urkle strain?
Old Time Purple Urkle is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Old Time Purple Urkle is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly associated with the Emerald Triangle region of Northern California. The strain is widely regarded as a descendant of the original Mendocino Purps, though its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat uncertain due to its underground origins. It gained significant popularity during the early medical cannabis movement and became a foundational strain for many purple-hued varieties that followed.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive deep purple coloration that develops in cooler temperatures, with dense, resinous buds that often display hues ranging from lavender to deep violet, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils. The foliage typically exhibits dark green leaves with purple undertones. Old Time Purple Urkle is renowned for its sweet, grape-like aroma with earthy undertones and subtle notes of berries and skunk, creating a complex sensory profile that has made it a favorite among connoisseurs.
Notable features include its relatively compact growth structure and its reputation as a reliable nighttime strain. The name 'Urkle' is believed to be a reference to the television character Steve Urkel from 'Family Matters,' though the exact connection remains part of cannabis folklore. The strain has maintained a cult following despite the proliferation of newer hybrids, valued for its consistent effects and distinctive appearance.

The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. It prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors and performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments.
