They then crossed that(the mendo purps) to a very old purple Afghani and from those seeds is where the urkle cut comes from and 2-3 other purple cuts that have been pasted around Nor Cal. believe it or not.
The reason it was the only seed run made was due to all but 2 of the group getting busted in one of the largest outdoor grow busts to this day in Nor Cal back in the early 80's and they lost almost all of there breeding stock except for some seeds that they had stashed.

Very cool info! So according to that theory the Urkle is a (purps x skunk) x purpIe Affie?
I recently acquired the Grape Stomper cut and ran it a few times. It displays many PU traits. Purple underside of fan leaves, the flavor and stone are there about 50% and the other is SD so that comprises the other half of profile. I do see some of the hash plant the was used in the cross in the bud formation.
Still greatly miss my PU though.
Thanks a ton icmag for taking the time!!
And any and all info is greatly welcomed!

Killer pic DJxx!!
Thanks for the info DJXX! May the best karma come your way friend!!
I would love to know as well
huh?
2 strains that were around back in the day, still are
a purple indica and Manic, which is basically a green purple urkle, like twins but she is green
This is from KIND REVIEWS....
PURPLE URKLE STRAIN INFORMATION
General Information
Type: Indica-dominant hybrid
Genetics: Thought to be a phenotype of Mendocino Purps
Geographic Origin: California, USA
Seed Company/Clone: Clone only
Description: A California medical scene cut that is dated back to the late 1980′s, the Urkle (also called Purple Urple, and Purple Urkel) is thought to have come from the Mendo Purps line. It’s a slow-vegging plant that almost always turns a deep shade of purple by the time it’s finished. It’s the purple plant of choice for many, as it’s known for being more potent and flavorful than many of the others.
History
Story: Purple Urkle is thought to be an inbred line dating back to at least 1989, possibly quite a bit earlier. Its origins are thought to be that of a pure Indica, likely coming from Afghanistan or Pakistan. It made its way into the NorCal medical clubs in the mid-90’s and has been going strong ever since, being crossed into a wide variety of strains due to its unmistakable coloration, smell, and overall stability.
makes sense to me..dj

Urkle...
Les (rip) i was told and would believe, was the one who, or was part of the crew, who did the urkle
Is purple indica different from mendo purps?
Who knew les and has the info..
Is this right?:
i was at his house a couple weeks before he was murdered
Sorry to hear that man, it's always hard losing people close to you.
i wasnt close to him, i just happen to go there with a few buddies. fwiw
oh ok
@30years~ I woulda thought you, of all folks, woulda known where Urkle comes from...it's been in SoHum since at least the late 80's according to the cats closest to the source...reputed to be a Purple Pakistani/Skunk #1 hybrid. I didn't think the Bay had Urkle as early as '98...I don't think Ken even had his "GrandDaddy" that early...which he claims to have gotten out of Salmon Creek.
@TheRealHash~ Purple Indica, Purple Urkle, & Mendo Purple are all very different plants...PI & PU could share a very distant relationship but I see zero relation to PI with the MP. Purple Indica & Purple Urkle look like they could be Pakistani dom phenotypes whereas Mendo Purple looks more like an Afghani type.
And what's up with all the misinformation in this thread comparing &/or claiming Mendo Purple & Purple Urkle relations? Have any of these people ever even grown MP & PU? I feel bad for people just looking for legit information and having to wade through all the bull$#!t garbage just to get a tidbit of facts here and there...unfortunately, by the time you make it through all the nonsense who know's what really is the truth if you do find it.
