Urkel Bx
Also known as: Purple Urkel Bx
Urkel Bx Strain Overview
Urkel Bx is a specialized cannabis strain developed by Equilibrium Genetics, created through a cross between Purple Urkel and Erkle Malawi. This strain represents a carefully crafted backcross that combines the legendary indica characteristics of Purple Urkel with the unique genetics of Erkle Malawi, a sativa-influenced hybrid that incorporates Malawi landrace genetics. Purple Urkel itself is a clone-only indica strain that has been popular since the 1980s, originating in northern California's Emerald Triangle and widely believed to be a phenotype of Mendocino Purps.
Urkel Bx is primarily used as breeding stock by Equilibrium Genetics to create new strains, serving as a male parent in crosses such as Urkel Runtz (Runtz × Urkel Bx), North Bay Urkel (North Bay Purps × Urkel Bx), and Velvet Urkel (Red Velvet × Urkel Bx). The strain inherits the dense, purple-tinged characteristics and potent effects of its Purple Urkel lineage while incorporating the stabilized traits from the Malawi genetics, which include tall height, hollow stems, and mold resistance. The breeding work demonstrates sophisticated cannabis genetics aimed at preserving the classic Purple Urkel traits while introducing genetic diversity and improved cultivation characteristics.

Urkel Bx Strain Growing Information
Urkel Bx is used primarily as breeding stock and inherits traits from both parent lines. From Purple Urkel, it gains indica-dominant structure with shorter, stockier plants typically under 5 feet tall. The Malawi genetics contribute improved mold resistance, hollow stems, and stabilized traits. Flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors with harvest in early to mid-October outdoors. The strain requires careful attention to lighting for lower bud sites and benefits from selective leaf pruning to maximize light penetration. Plants respond well to phosphorus supplementation during the transition to flowering. Growing difficulty is considered moderate to advanced due to the specific requirements inherited from both parent strains.
