What is the Purple Urkle strain?

Purple Urkle is a indica cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.

Purple Urkle is a legendary indica-dominant cannabis strain originating from Northern California's Emerald Triangle region in the 1980s. The exact lineage of Purple Urkle remains a topic of debate, but it is widely believed to be a phenotype of Mendocino Purps. Some cannabis experts suggest a connection to Granddaddy Purple, another Indica-dominant strain with similar characteristics. The strain gained popularity in the 1980s and has remained a favorite strain among cannabis enthusiasts ever since. The strain comprises approximately 80% indica and 20% sativa genetics, making it a heavily indica-dominant hybrid.

Visually, Purple Urkle is renowned for its striking appearance featuring dense grape shaped nugs that turn purple late in flower with a hint of dark purple along with orange hairs and covered in crystals. The nugs have an unusually soft plant matter which contributes to its luxurious, silky smoke. The strain's name and distinctive purple coloration have made it one of the most recognizable cannabis varieties. The coloration comes from anthocyanin pigments, which are expressed when nighttime temperatures fall below 60°F during late flowering. Purple Urkle has made a huge impact on the evolution of modern cannabis.
