Purple Urkle

Purple Urkle first emerged in the late 1980s and is considered a classic Californian strain. It’s often linked to ‘Granddaddy Purple’ but is more commonly recognized as a specific phenotype of ‘Mendocino Purps.’ This strain stands out with its deep purple buds and long, bright orange hairs. Like most indicas, Purple Urkle grows short, thick, and bushy. It’s a clone-only strain mainly available in Californian dispensaries and tends to thrive better indoors than outdoors.

Its aroma has a skunky base with subtle fruity undertones, while the flavor leans towards sweet berries and grapes. With THC levels between 22-26% and a CBD content of 0.36%, it delivers a strong body high that helps ease muscle spasms, anxiety, and nausea. Many users report its deeply relaxing and sedative effects, making it an excellent strain for nighttime use, especially for those struggling with insomnia.
