or Deep Purple I am not sure I loved these seeded bud shots and here is part 2 of Purple
The Urkle
Purple Urkle is a clone only strain that seems to be the rage among med clubs and Cannabis connoisseurs, Danny Danko asked me to do some research on it and tell of our current project using the clone mother. Her traits are slow growth, turning an amazing color or Purple late in bloom and having the most amazing Grape/lavender taste and also a nice stone. But where did it come from?
Purple Urkle or Humboldt Purple aka Purple Urple ...has been grown by folks in Southern Humboldt since 'approx.' 1989...the Mendo catz are responsible for renaming it "Lavender", among others...A good friend White Trash Redneck has grown the Mendocino "Lavender" cut side by side with the Humboldt Purple Urple/Urkle, as well as Bridgeville Black Afghan, Nepalean Purple, Pakistani Purple Kush, & Tuity Fruity Purple...he swears there all the same cut just renamed. He also went on to tell me that the Humboldt Purple cut seems to be an old school IBL...and.....it's 'very' breed worthy...He has made better than 20 Urkle hybrids and has been impressed with all of them. I dont think Grape Ape is the same cutting however, The grape ape Ive seen has been pretty decent smoke, comparable to the granddad. No purple Ive smoked except for straight Urkle has been decently potent
Other names I have uncovered that are likely the same cutting are:
Garberville PK... aka Swerve's Cut
Mendocino PK
Kyle Kushman's PK
"K's", PK
As Quoted by an internet source
Kyle Kushman's "Purple Kush" is the plant that made him famous as a photograph of it made the cover of the "New Yorker" magazine about 12 years ago. It was not a weed publication and the article just stated how much real money is made by indoor gardening based on the black market forces and the technology that were in place then (grow lights, seeds, hydro systems,etc). In the article it is stated by the grower (assumably Kyle) that the plant was found in a group of Northern Lights x Purple Indica seeds. Kyle was living out East at the time and soon became a writer for High Times Magazine.
I think some confusion comes from the fact that Kyle now lives out west now.
However, the Purple Kush in Northern Cali has been there long before Kyle made his pilgrimage out West. I cannot tell you the exact pedigree. But I would assume that the Mendocino and Garberville versions are the exact same as this is prime herb growing country here in N. Cali. It would be really easy for one grower to give another clone to a fellow grower. The Green Triangle (Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity Counties) is known for the amount of MJ produced there, both indoor and outdoor.
I first enjoyed this Urkle strain grown out by Sticky Lungs himself and I must say it was one of the better samples of cannabis I had all year. For a young dude he shows an amazing understanding of the plant and his relationship with its dankness. I also smoked his Trainwreck and did not really like it just to establish I dont like all strains.
Perfect timing too. I just sampled Vortex for my first time literally about 20 min ago.....the descriptions are exactly what I experienced. I also have a 10 pack of Vortex that is getting cracked soon soon, and I am VERY excited now. Phenomenal smoke.
