Purple Urkle comes from a indica phenotype of Mendocino Purps, I believe it was crossed with either Northern Lights or Gods gift, I'l go look up my strain journal and find it if I can.
@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.
Thanks man, I have grown the Mendo Purps and Original Purps a.k.a The Purps (both from Mendo and they came from the same hippy). I kept the Original and it really looks like a Pakistani by leaf shape. Thanks for clearing that up Nspecta and thank you to Oledad420 for laying down the truth(in the other purps lineage thread) https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=114612&page=3
Oledad420 said:Thats where your 100% wrong also, just to sit it straight, and this is from the horses mouth. The purplr urkle cut was found out of the first and only seed run done by the group that created the mendo Purps, which from what they(2 of the creators) told me was a cross between a purple paki and an old skunk. 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.
LOL!its just a excellent pheno of ducth passion Purple #1
thanks DF...i needed a laugh...oh man...still cracking up...i am like you, i jus can't ignore it some times...jus wish sometimes you could "slap the crap out of them" on the net, in real time...DJI just have to keep telling myself - don't feed the trolls, don't feed the trolls, DON'T FEED THE TROLLS...
