Pre 1990's Purple Urkle from seed

that's literally the first time I've ever heard anything that remotely validates my hypothesis that urk = good pheno of lavender...I've honestly been speculating that for years since I grew out a cut of lavender in like 06-07ish.

I'd love to run through a bunch of old soma gear, some of the last bags I bought before I was self supplied was Somango, and amethyst...looking back I think a lot of the stuff my buddy used to grab in arcata was some soma gear...he was definitely my favorite breeder before I ever really got very serious with growing...and I've honestly never even popped a single one of his seeds...I need to change that!

sorry for going off topic!

when are you planning on flowering these urks?

Do you have the hooks on any older packs?

I don't have a clue about anything recent of his not saying
They are bad I just don't know

Finally Purple!!













Finally some color!! And the other varietals ( Sour Diesel ) right next to the Purple Urkle and she has not turned purple. So not from the weather.... but from her genes!! Super stoked!!!​

Look what fell off while cleaning







Yep!!! The first URKLE SEEDS!! This bud came off when cleaning up fan leaves this morning. The stripes go long ways not sideways on them with a light complexion.​

'm most used to seeds that stripe long way rather than stipe width wise... it's obviously just because the style of stuff I grow I don't really go too much out of my types. I like what I like.

Kick ass jefe

how's the smell?

Ahh the smell...... Well finally the smells are coming out. Candy skunk is what she smells like now. Colas are finally formed. About 9 inches long and chunky but not large in girth. All leaves are a dark dark green with purple and red veins.

Ah thank you buddy. Your thread rocks too!! I am jealous of your patients and strains.

Thanks man. Really the way I look at it is this. Sativas require much less veg time so the longer flower works out. The sativas help me more with my anger so I need to have patience to grow what I need. I preffer the looks, smells, flavour and effects of the sativas. Many are done in a few short weeks longer take my kali mist. 9-11 weeks depending on your preferance but in my opinion prime at 9-10.
My slh took me 10 weeks the first time I grew that pheno then a week faster after. You get to dial them in and suddenly that 100+ bitch is a 84 day strain. There's loads of fast sativas, take tangilope, and I've just recently seen some it was nuts... same with phenos of slh. That said slh is a crap shoot but one I like to roll. I like stable strains and I like playing around with weird unstable hybrids those types yield some really neat flashy cuts that everyone wants. Case and point tga... unstable but I see so many keepers popping up in threads. I lucked out and scored some of the discontinued Pandora box.

Really if you look at the end result the sativas are worth it. Right now I'm actually growing some stuff I'm guessing will be longer but man there's loads of fast sativas out there ranging from a scant 56 day indica speed time to what I consider the end of "fast sativas" 77 days. I think even 12 weeks is reasonable sure it's like adding 50% on to your flower times but you get used to it. Then if you grow indicas after they grow too fast they creep me out a bit how fast they are done. The only 56 day sativas I see are ogs or the odd pheno of the Highland Nepali I have but rarely grow.

If you like being awake, alert and motivated by your high grow some sativas. The high I find lasts much longer and so that makes up for the slower finish time along with less veg time needed.

There's also the matter of large sativas can yield 800 grams a square meter between 4 plants. You can easily yield a half pound off a big ass ssh tree I've seen it done in dirt! If that guy was doing hydro I have a feeling he would pull twice as much. He likes what he does though so why say otherwise it's up to everyone to find the lights, method and strains for them.

I just finished packing 2 envelopes. One headed to reef and one to attitude. I'm not announcing the varieties chosen from attitude until they arive then I'll "spill the beans"

MY PURPLE URKLE ROLLERCOASTER

When they were first put into flower the first 24 hours were darkness. Then 13 hours of darkness for the first week. The males had already begun to show male pre flowers before flowering and were now streatching. In the room were 14 Purple Urkle, 1 AC/DC, and 1 Dark Heart Nursery Purple Kush. Now into week two the males had shown by shooting to the skys. Light was now set to 12 1/2 hours darkness.

Fast forward to about five weeks in flower. The females were almost non existant i. showing any bud formation let alone very few pre flowers. Males were now producing pollen and is where I spent my attention. When I finally took all the males out of the room around week 7 the Urkles were finally showing flowers. 4 keepers. Thank heaven!!

Harvest came for my early finshers outdoors. I moved the Urkles and now heavily seeded Purple Kush outdoors and hung up the flowers I harvested in the 4x4. Now that the Urkles are outdoors and it is around week 9 the flower formation is healthy and thick. Finally colas are forming!!!

Now.... the notes:

STRAIN: Purple Urkle
FLOWERING TIME: Long
STATURE: Squat
FLORAL PRINT: Candy Skunk
FLOWER COLOR: Green with Purple tipped flowers
DENSITY: Rock Hard
SMOKE REPORT: Coming Soon!

I feared she was not Urkle. I fell slightly prey to the hater predators out there. And for it all I now have myself one set of plants I ABSOLUTLEY POSITIVLEY CAN NOT WIAT TO SMOKE HER AND HER SISTERS!!!

Thank you all for listening. Lets finish this!!!:groupwave:

I feel ya on the less veg time needed. My East Coast Sour Diesel streatches like a banshee. But I feel she needs more than 70 days to finish. Going to go water the Urkles!!

The more times you run it the easier it gets. You can speed it up a week or two with almost anything the more practice you get.

I use 1 gal pots to control stretch. Otherwise the plants I have would be substantially bigger...
