Purple Urkle Strain
An old-school California indica with grape skin on the nose and weight behind it.
Purple Urkle is a indica strain from Mendocino Purps phenotype, typically testing 16–21% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and caryophyllene on the terpene side, smells like grape skin, damp earth and a faint skunk background, and most patients describe it as heavy limbs, quiet mind, slow onset. It's a evening strain that people reach for night, traditional indica fans, patients who dislike high-thc flower — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

- Mendocino Purps phenotype
Purple Urkle is one of the classic California purples, a Mendocino Purps phenotype that predates most of the modern shelf and still holds its own on smell alone.
The nose is grape skin over damp earth with an old-school skunk note that newer genetics have largely bred out. It reads unmistakably vintage next to today's candy crosses.
The effect is a slow, heavy indica. Patients describe onset taking longer than expected and then settling into serious limb weight and a very quiet head.
What makes it worth stocking is the moderate THC range. It delivers a genuinely heavy experience without sitting in the mid-twenties, which suits patients who dislike how high-testing flower feels.
Myrcene leads the terpene profile with caryophyllene and a little pinene behind it, a combination consistent with the earthy, grounded character.
We recommend it for the end of the night, and specifically to patients who tell us modern flower feels too sharp.

Purple Urkle questions we get
Is Purple Urkle indica or sativa?

How strong is Purple Urkle?
Published testing usually runs in the 16–21% THC range — moderate by current standards, heavy in effect.
What does Purple Urkle taste like?
Grape skin and earth with a faint skunk note that most modern strains no longer carry.
Why does Purple Urkle turn purple?
The purple coloring comes from anthocyanin pigments expressed in this genetic line, often more visible after cooler night temperatures late in flower.
