from what i understand u can only get purple thru clones(i know it sounds dumb) but i got it from an article at the hightimes website it doesnt say to much but here it is By Subcool

Purple Urkel is a clone-only strain that seems to be the rage among medical clubs and cannabis connoisseurs. Danny Danko asked me to do some research on the popular strain and report on our current project using an Urkel clone mother. Purple Urkel is known for growing somewhat slowly, but its other traits make it very desirable. It turns an amazing purple late in bloom, possesses the most amazing grape/lavender flavor and gives a nice strong stone. But where did it come from?

Purple Urkel or Humboldt Purple (a.k.a. Purple Urple) has been growing in southern Humboldt County since approximately 1989. The Mendo cats are responsible for renaming it “Lavender,” among several other names. A good friend, White Trash Redneck, has grown the Mendocino Lavender cut side by side with the Humboldt Purple Urple/Urkel—as well as the Bridgeville Black Afghan, Nepalese Purple, Pakistani Purple Kush and Tooty Fruity Purple—and he swears they’re all the same cut, renamed.

White Trash Redneck also went on to tell me that the Humboldt Purple cut seems to be an old-school IBL, or Inbred Line, making it ideal for use in breeding projects. He’s bred more than 20 Urkel hybrids and has been impressed with all of them. I’ve discovered quite a few other Purples that are likely the same cut as well, going by such names as Garberville Purple Kush (a.k.a. Swerve’s Cut), Mendocino PK and Kyle Kushman’s PK. An Internet source I’ll leave unnamed says about Kyle’s PK:

Kyle Kushman’s “Purple Kush” is the plant that made Kushman famous after a photograph of the Kush made the cover of the New York Times Magazine about 12 years ago.The magazine is not a weed-centric publication, and the article stated how much real money is made by indoor gardening based on black-market forces and the technology that was in place then (grow lights, seeds, hydro systems, etc). In the article the grower (presumably Kyle) states 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.

I would assume that the Mendocino and Garberville versions are the exact same, as this is prime herb-growing country here in North Cali, and it would be really easy for one grower to give a clone to another fellow grower. The Emerald Triangle (Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity Counties) is known for the quantity of MJ it produces, both indoor and outdoor.

over-rated in my opinion. i guess if you've never tried it you should at least once.

well then if its only available in clone form the dispensaries in santa cruz are either false advertizing or have gotten her pollinated by something else cause that compassion bag was fucking chock full of seeds and simply labeled purple urkle.i hope whatever she is she grows to be 8 feet wide that is fucking beautiful!!!!!!!when is that thing gonna start flowering and turn purple? if she gets that huge how should i adjust my shit to grow her indoor?:eyesmoke:

if you make a plant go herm can it pollinate a female and have actually sproutable seeds?
 

JESSE

but a clone from that would still be female tho right? just asking incase that is what happened to fert the urkel and seeing if i can still produce a female from these seeds incase they turn out herm...since getting a clone from there to where i currently reside would be difficult.

from what ive gathered the hermie genes will be passed along to the seeds. if hermies have anything to do with the reproduction cycle whatever relative of that plant or offspring will prolly hermie .

Thats not true,many will have the hermie gene but many will not,simply find the ones that dont as you go along and inbreed them and kill the rest:bigjoint:

Right, i said probally. He could go ahead try it. i just wouldnt take the time to mess with it but if u have time go for it.it definitly wouldnt hurt :)

but will imbreeding dilute the genetics? will it change the way the strain grows or will it not be as potent?i dont remember much of the day that i smoked the plant the first timne but i was in big basin state park and hiked around for hours high as a kite and that was apparently from a hermie ,not even the full potential of a full female urkel probly.:bigjoint:

STILL NO ONE HAS TOLD ME WHETHER SHE IS SATIVA OR INDACA DOMINANT!i aim to heal others pains with an indaca cause those are hard to come across here put slow my thoughts down and ease my own mind with some sativas and after i can acomplish this i will start breedin,cause hybrids fuck me up.....bongsmilie
