"15 Original Purple Urkle from seeds from around the late eighties."
Problem with that: Urkle isn't an 80's strain. In fact the character the strain is named after, Steve Urkel, didn't even exist in the 80's.
The seed stock Urkle came from has most definetly been around norcal since the 80's. It may not have been called Urkle but its had other names. It may have also been either spread out and passed around from northern humboldt to sonoma counties or more than one person brought back the same or similar strains from the hippy hash trail.
Speaking of which...Jefe...what is the story with these beans? Can you ask your father in law who made them? Are they f1s? Who/where was the original hybrid made? Where specifically they where made or grown out? Basically trace their origin back as far as possible. There is a lot of oral history behind urkle and its cool when stories from isolated groups match up.

for me jefe i take the male flowers with my fingers and sprinkle there magic man dust over the fresh female pistils.. and then just the be sure i like paint the pistils with the male flowers also.. time consuming.. but equals a heavy pollenation and makes sure its defently done..
then take male flowers dry them out put in a seive collect the dust on a flat surface scrape up with a plastic card and make a few seperate baggies so dust.. put with desiccant in a air tight jar and freeze for future use..
loving the thread as usual.. thanks for the number update.. glad #13 was male.. the mission is on its way in full force..

Working on the exact lineage. Just need to talk to my father in law. He is deep in the woods so when I do I will let you know. As we all know it may be Pakistani x skunk, one of the purple phenos that spawned the massez of other purples in Nor Cal. We will find out.
Long petioles, definitely urkle.
Real deal.
Congrats.
