GDP vs Urkle side by side grow off..
- Thread starter beancounter
- Start date
^ should be in tha mix pretty soon, but imho not even worthy of side by sides with the current company.. she's one that deserves her very own thread.. altho the original Purple Kush would make a nice comparo..

Original PK destroys them all.
PI is really good, too, smoking mine at tha mo'..PI and PK are my two fav purples. Gonna' be hard to beat them, too.
Mendo Purps & Grape Ape are totally different. In many, many ways, but a thread like that with those 2 would be great for those interested. Grape Ape, Purple Urkle, GDP, Ultraviolet and PI would be a good comparison. I'm just sayin', after growing those - I can safely say that you will be shocked to say tha least. It'll be a good show with TONS of variation, especially if you choose to include that PK from that one cat around here.
Looking good, my man.
Peace,
Nandro

if only the original was easily avalible I'd be all over it like a fat kid on a smarty..
The PI would have been here in this challenge if she didn't take so damn long to veg and get cuts from.. I eagerly await giving her a run.. PI was the 1st 'named' weed that I truly loved and obsessed about, besides the real skunk of course..
The GDP/KPK/Urk comparison was more needed because quite a few peeps have been wonderin' what's up with these.. Altho, I woulda liked to do Grape Ape aswell..
maybe i'll take some urk/gdp cutz when the ape gets here and do them all together, as they seem to be the most closely related..
If I can track down some other PurpK's besides swerve's and K'sPK I may dedicate a thread jus to the Purple Kushs..
Actualy, I have eventual plans to do a Bubba thread (katsu's,pre'98, pre2k1, etc, etc) and one for the OGK's aswell.. See if we can shed some light on some of these cutz..

I've done this comparison also, will be good to see this!
Because of the method used to grow these (SOG) It is pretty difficult to discern any differences. Indeed, the dried nugs look slightly different, and smell slightly different. Easy to tell that they are NOT the same strain, as many have erroneously conjectured.
Here is a great photograph, if I do say so myself! 3 purples, K's PK
Here's Ken's GDP
Fwiw, I let the Erkle go, and the PK go. I only kept the Granddaddy. There is no reason to keep the others for me -- the Granddaddy is a superior purple in every respect. I am a Grower first, a Smoker second... but even then, the Granddaddy smokes very fine indeed.
Granddaddy Purple, better than the rest...

Hey Rain...Umm forgot rest of name.
If your looking for Purple strains that are Part of the purple family there are some good ones out there but....
If you looking for Purple weed which is actually purple check out DJ Shorts genetics. Almost all of his genetics have purple pheno types and are all VERY potent some of the best plants around to me. O by the way DJ Shorts genetics are in the blue family but im sure you already know that.
F 13 Flo, blue moonshine OTM and im sure more all have purple pheno's. Good luck hunting for them and let me know if you find anything remarkable.
BTW I think Grand Daddy purps is best purps i smoked but i heard purp urkel is that best purp strain.

Nept. - Great pics as always! Now that is some purple ladies crowding up a room!!!!
Icy - My call is the GDP. or just "the freakin mountain o' purple"!!
Honestly Blunted I have a green pheno of his blueberry that is amazing. She doesn't get purple but the smell and high have made too hard to shake. I want to try his F-13 but the seeds are too exp. for my blood when I can run to harborside and get a clone for 7 bucks. Of course half the time the strains unconfirmed no matter what they are tryin to say but really worth it in the end. I have found some good ladies hangin there.

Many mahalos..!
Seems to me - the lines on PE and GDP are a bit blurred. My cronies called my above pic Urkle.... But, it sure comes out exactly Grandaddy-like....! In all ways.. As good as any I have tried. The stems on the finished product, underneath on the nugs, comes out crimson red.... Past purple on the color wheel.
IMHO, DJ Shorts 'True Blueberry' was a beautiful plant, and quite purple, but it was not at all heat resistant, in an indoor scene. It did do good in a greenie. What a beauty. The muties and all....
I did not keep it.. The potency seemed no biggie, sort of a boring high, even though the taste is EPIC. Ultimately, I will make hasj out of the stock in jars, in the fridge. I like Greener Blueberrys, like The Noon's version at the Cup last year. Or even better, their Blueberry Haze.
I even tried a fully green Urkle last week that was easily as good as any Purple...
Saw an American wannabe seed breeder at C Cup '06, with what he openly called Grape Ape, saying very loud that it was the same as GDP - I advised him to stop. The strain was new to the Dutch at the time, and the info was misleading and inaccurate..... It was greenhouse purple, low calyx-to-leaf ratio, and not much to see... Go figure. Like I always say, stoners ARE the bizness / and only for some does cannabis use lead to focus, but it can / money is what most are after / so whaddya expect..? Impeccable accuracy...? Never happen.
I just picked up some GDP today, at a med club in SF - - - very good - and it is the same sort of thing as my GDP/Urkle clone <?>

as far as smoking though, do you think gdp is superior to urkle? i have only smoked urkle and i am only growing urkle mostly because i've always heard gdp was just commercial urkle. so for personal headstash do you see a huge difference?

imo these strains are all related, they look tooo close to not be. i think people got some bagseeds(s1's) and grew them out. that would explain the very simliar almost identical traits in the strains. with different names. if everone would not pay soo much attention on the names they would see that.imo
i've grown the erkle, GDP(the one in the cannabible was mine), just finished K's PK, also done the purple cream. i think if you took sumsimulators erkle s1's and grew them out, and labeled each pheno different, u would have whats going on with all these strains. confusion. reguardless that grape taste is bomb
the grape ape i grew was totally different, it was a fast growing afghani, that tasted very boring. good yeild.
just my thoughts and experinces....
oh and S4vvy, i got k's PK crossed with Deep Chunk! hehe should be goood!

Yes, Lion, the bagseed idea makes sense, never thought of that...
There area few different Urkles, as you can imagine.... Mine was called Urkle by the person who gifted me the cut... In the clubs, I see good GDP, but mine is even more colorful, same flavour and numbing buzz, and yes, it sure has GDP other traits... Full-on rainbow colors.... Visually appealing to the 10th power. I treasure it, although the yield is no good except w/ big plants in at least 10 gal containers.
But IMHO, GDP is more potent, more kushy - has that "Aqua Net" hairspray flavour in the background that reminds me of Chemdog, or OG Kush... In fact, the lineage is supposed to be a "Kush" and a Purple Erkle on the GDP, I think....
Who knows....?!
