Purple Urkle S1 is a self, not a cross. Purple Urkle is the Emerald Triangle purple keeper that most of California's colour reputation rests on, and selfing it is the only route it has ever had into seed form. It carries sweet grape and dark berry over earthy skunk, myrcene-dominant. Every pack is the same plant asking itself what else it can be.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother and Father: Purple Urkle, selfed. A Mendocino Purps selection pulled out of the Emerald Triangle around 1990. Dense purple flower in a closed canopy is where mould starts.
• Preservation, not novelty. A cut this old has no seed history - it has been passed hand to hand. A self is the only route to a packet, and the only way the line outlives the people currently holding it.
• Why self rather than cross. Cross a clone to anything and you get a hybrid of it, not the clone. Reversing it onto itself keeps the parentage on both sides, which is the honest way to put a clone-only cut into seed.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

• The Aroma. Sweet grape and dark berry over earthy skunk, myrcene-dominant.
• The Taste. Grape and berry turning earthy and musky.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. A short, tight plant that colours hard once the nights cool off.
• Vegetative Phase and Stretch. Shape the plant before the flip. Correcting a frame in week six is harder work than setting it in week two.
• Flowering Time. Purple Urkle runs around eight weeks indoors, inside a seven to nine week window. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Purple Urkle as settled and unhurried; the heavy, physical end.
• The Body. Reported in line with that. This is not a plant described as pulling in two directions.
