Description
What are the effects of Purple Urkle cannabis?
- Relaxed
- Sleepy
- Happy
- Euphoric
When properly nurtured, Purple Urkle feminized marijuana seeds grow into amazing cannabis plants that contain equal parts indica and sativa, with a THC content that has an average potency of 20%.
This beautifully-balanced hybrid, which first appeared on the scene in the 1980s, is descended from the popular cannabis strain Mendocino Purps, aka “Mendo Purps,” which hails from the legendary Emerald Triangle in Mendocino County in Nor Cal.
As a 50/50 hybrid, Purple Urkle, which, fortunately, is not obnoxious as its namesake of Steve Urkel, offers both medical and recreational users the best of both worlds, although it does definitely lead indica in its effects, which means that unlike the balanced hybrid strains out there that lean sativa in the effects, this one is probably better for use at the end of the day or on a lazy day off.
Purple Urkle is the kind of blissful strain that will leave you feeling euphorically happy and soothingly relaxed almost simultaneously.
It makes for a fabulous way to unwind after a long and stress-filled day and to gently yet quickly rid your mind of worries and replace them with cheer-filled and positive thoughts and feelings.
If it weren’t for Purple Urkle’s potent joy-filled and upbeat cerebral effects, its eventual body-numbing and couch-locking effects would make you think you’ve smoked an indica-dominant hybrid instead of a 50/50.
However, before Purple Urkle’s sedative effects send you off to sleep, it will first have you wanting to eat everything in sight. As such, you’ll want to make sure you have a fridge and pantry full of tasty treats and snacks for when the munchies hit.
What are Purple Urkle’s fragrance and flavor profiles?
Purple Urkle offers users a distinctive blend of sweet and earthy grapes and tropical aromas with skunk accents.
Taste-wise, this particular marijuana strain is able to boast a unique blend of flavors that many users say reminds them of drinking an ice-cold grape soda. In addition to its sweet grape flavor, Purple Urkle also has undertones of fruit and berries and hints of skunk that complement its otherwise very sweet flavor.
How do I grow Purple Urkle cannabis seeds?
While Purple Urkle isn’t the hardest strain out there to grow, it’s probably not the best option for beginner growers as it does require a bit of experience in order to successfully cultivate it. As such, it’s best grown by intermediate to experienced cultivators. One big plus is that since Pacific Seed Bank only sells feminized cannabis seeds available, it means that your chances of having all-female plants are in the 90+% range or thereabouts. You’ll also be glad to know that it’s relatively resistant to common molds and pests.
While Purple Urkle can be grown both inside and out in Mother Nature, outdoor growers may want to consider being indoor cultivators for this one as its indoor harvest are larger than its outdoor yields. No matter where you grow it, you’ll want to keep an eye on the nutrient levels in your soil as this beautiful plant is quite the hungry grower.
What do Purple Urkle cannabis plants look like?
When fully mature, Purple Urkle produces rather short, bushy, and compact plants, a common indica trait. Structurally, its roundish and conical nuggets also embody their indica genetic makeup in that they are quite tightly packed together.
In terms of coloration, Purple Urkle buds are purple with hues of forest green which are strikingly juxtaposed against an interweaving of lone orange pistils and a shimmering blanket of trichomes.
When to harvest your Purple Urkle cannabis plants
Not only does Purple Urkle require some previous cultivation experience in order to successfully grow, it also has a relatively longer growth time when grown outside. That said, all of your care and patience will be worth the effort once you reap its bounty.
Grown indoors, this 50/50 hybrid produces an amazing yield of about 510 grams per square meter after entering its flowering phase in approximately 8-9 weeks.
When cultivated in the great outdoors, Purple Urkle should begin to flower sometime around the middle of October and tends to provide a smaller outdoor harvest of somewhere around 250 grams per plant.

Purple Urkle is a legend for a reason. Its grape and berry notes are a treat for the senses, and the high is incredibly soothing without being overwhelming.

Purple Urkle is already a great strain and feminized seeds make them even better because the plants are so magnificent. I love how I didn’t have to worry about cross-pollination. My plants were 100% female, which is exactly what I was looking for and needed. The nugs were potent and so aromatic.
Dominic Haney (verified owner) –
A beautiful purple flower that smells great and gives me a stellar buzz. Delicious weed that only took me about 10 weeks to grow, and produced some seriously nice-looking nugs. It’s a real pleasure working with these seeds, and I am just plain giddy that they took off so well in the yard. It’s been a great time and Pacific is definitely my preferred weed provider!

I love purple urkle! Yay this is such a positive and uplifting strain! The fresh purple flower is really a sight to behold. Plus there’s so much to be learned here by reading the blogs and checking out various growing videos. The plants really require a lot of compost, fertilizer, water, sunlight, etc. They a BIG feeders, but the reward is usually a pretty high yield….100-150 G per plant? Not too shabby.
BudBoss (verified owner) –
Purple Urkle, is an absolute classic! If you are not familiar with this you need to check it out! The high is excellently well-balanced and has a fruity earthy taste to it. Growing required some work and knowledge but overall was not too difficult and well worth it to have a supply of an absolute gem of a strain!
Jacey Lucas (verified owner) –
A strangely energizing strain with purple nugs and a sweet berry flavor. Reminds me of drinking lemonade in the summertime….tart but refreshing.
Grew all my weed indoors in a 4×4 indoor BudBox with LED lighting. So much fun!
Zephyr4Zebra (verified owner) –
The plants I grew were medium-sized, with beautiful purple buds that had a skunky and fruity aroma. I found it to be a relatively easy strain to grow, perfect for intermediate growers like myself. Overall, Purple Urkle helped me alleviate my worries and insomnia, providing a great experience both in terms of smoking and cultivation.

Purple Urkle gave me a really nice relaxing high, perfect for winding down at the end of the day. I was impressed by the yield I got from growing this strain indoors, and the buds had a nice purple hue to them.
Annabella Melendez (verified owner) –
I liked growing this strain. I just did so as a quick experiment last summer, seeing how well the cannabis plants would do in my garden soil. I think if I had spent more time cultivating healthy soil I would have had better results, but for an outdoor grow (and a lazy one at that) I was still able to secure over 300 G of fresh pot which I am consuming right…now!
Wayne Kelly (verified owner) –
Germinated and grew 1 seed/plant. Didn’t have any problems growing it, did notice this strain likes heavy nutes. After drying and curing a short time I tried it and it has a very sweet scent and a sweet grape candy taste on the exhale. Super relaxing and chill strain… after an hour I was ready for bed. Not a strain for if you are going out for sure!

If you like the color purple, and maybe the taste of berries, then how about a sweet, relaxing bowl of Purple Urkle. Man, this weed makes me goofy as all heck! Nothing is quite like producing your own pot. The growing process is easy, fun, and generally very rewarding. Can you handle it??
I bought 10 seeds online and had them shipped to me within a matter of days. SO dank and freshhhh, and only took 10 weeks for flower to form. Get it together friends!

Been making purple urkle grow in the yard for years. I am a long-time customer of Pacific. I never write reviews for anything, but here I am! Mostly, I just want to assure customers that this is a quality product. I have never had such luck with feminized seeds in the past. I finally have my grow space all set up, and it looks fire. The weed plants are tall, beautiful, healthy. It’s a great combo. I can’t wait to share this weed wth friends. I just wish I could post pics on this site!!!

Been a purple urkle fan since Family Matters was on the air! I have been a weed grower for some time now (but you probably knew that). The vibes are great, the smell is amazing and the vibes help a lot with stress and depression. I find it also stimulates my appeitie and gets me to cook my favorite thing in the world….pizza!!
Tanvir Bush (verified owner) –
Whether you’re new to marijuana or not, this weed is absolutely something to love! Gives me a GREAT buzz! Honestly, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get into the game, but it’s been well worth the effort.
Asad Betts (verified owner) –
A smooth indica with bright purple flower and a berry-flavored smoke. As always, Pacific makes for a great buy online. Their seeds are always high quality, ship quickly, and germinate as they should! Can’t wait to be smoking this weed with my friends tonight. Always brings the laughs!!
Jenson Davila (verified owner) –
Mmmm Yes, purple urkle is the answer to that afternoon grogginess you feel. It’s like a little pick-me-up when you start nodding off at work! Bought 5 seeds online, got em shipped right to my door, and they grew like gangbusters in the backyard!!
Eamon Tyson (verified owner) –
This purple weed is gonna make your life look all carayyyyzyyyyyy! It’s like putting on a pair of kaleidoscope glasses and walking around downtown. There’s honestly nothing better than growing your own pot in a big city like LA, and all you need is a BIG pot on your porch or backyard or whatever, the sun will take care of the rest!
Abul Witt (verified owner) –
I dunno, I am not a weed snob or anything, I was just bored during lockdown, and I feel like I gotta keep trying to make this life interesting for myself. Like it’s a good buy for the price and It’s easy enough to grow, so I don’t see any reason why not to do it again. Plus the purple color and grape flavor are a nice bonus feature haha.

Purple urkle is like the uncle you wanted but could never have. I smoke this almost daily cause it just relaxes my mind and makes dealing with the general public that much easier haha. I run a small coffee shop and I love my customers but it’s a draining business, so that’s why I go outside and smoke this weed right before and after my lunch!!
Blane Bernard (verified owner) –
I use weed for medical purposes….recovering from an eating disorder and purple urkle helps with appetite regulation…it also just feels nice. It’s comforting. I work in my garden during the afternoon, caring for all my various plants, feeling really nice and relaxed out in the sun. I am glad to be on the mend here, and growing at home is a nice healthy life habit.
Izaan Bob (verified owner) –
Gotta get my purple urkle strain cause man I just love purple weed and it’s sweet berry flavor. Gotta smoke this dope like every night to get into the zone…play some video games, watch some TV, eat some pizza and just zoooone out! Wow, it’s been really great, not gonna lie, and it’s been useful for my stress levels too!
Devan Sweet (verified owner) –
This weed definitely earns its title…it’s very purple indeed LOL. I was surprised to harvest this weed and be as successful as I actually was, very exciting, very fun to grow and way easier than I expected. Got like 500 grams of weed, but I didn’t really measure, was more of an assumption cause it sounds good! Yeah baby, homegrown weed is the best!!
Luciano Bonilla (verified owner) –
I wish you could sit next to me anf smoke this purple urkle all night long…it’s such a dream come true, makes all the senses in my body perk up, and it makes me have a nice buzzy feeling in my belly, which is pretty awesome. I just thought I’d try this stuff out for fun, turned out A LOT better than I was ever expecting!!!
Alejandra Bass (verified owner) –
Purple urkle is one heck of a buy, it’s super stoney and looks really nice in my backyard. I love growing my own bud, makes for a great hobby and has the best possible results. I smoke every day, and nothing is more gratifying than knowing you purchased your own stuff and grew it all by yourself. Excellent results!
lawyerfreedman22 (verified owner) –
Purple urkle is a great strain for dealing with your day to day, and I am telling you, I have never felt better. It’s A GOOD buy, especially for the price, a sweet-smelling and tasting strain that looks as purple as the mountains do in an LA sunset. Get ready for some gorgeous bud in your life!!
Cantankerous (verified owner) –
I used to love watching urkle on TV when I was a kid. He was soooo funny! Now I get to laugh when I smoke the purple urkle weed. It’s really easy to grow…makes a beautiful flower with bright purple colors. It smells very fresh and a little sour and it helps me get through the day, great job!
Ryan Thomas (verified owner) –
Purple urkle might just change your life. It’s definitely better as an indoor grow…makes for some beautiful flowers after about 5 months of growing. You gotta watch over this plant and care for it, prune it, water it, etc. It’s a little bit of love a little bit of labor, but having your own fresh mj at the end of the day is worth it!
the Hammer (verified owner) –
You want purple weed that has a bite to it? This is the stuff. Good for growing indoors, makes better nugs and a nice smelling home. Smells and tastes like fresh berries, hits pretty harsh but the high is good. Has been perfect for stress, and also for giving me new and interesting ideas. Can’t wait to buy more of this stuff, awesome purchase!
Holualoa (verified owner) –
Mmmm did I do that!? Yes, you DID grow your own weed cause anyone can grow this strain! It’s so tasty and delicious and helps tremendously with stress and depression. I am so happy I ordered online with pacific, they really know their way around seeds and I am very excited to share my new harvest with friends and family. I will definitely buy more!
woodenbox56 (verified owner) –
Pass me some of that smooth purple dope! I love the way this stuff makes me feel, it’s very relaxing and uplifting, allows for creative insight and powerful introspection. I grew this marijuana in my backyard and had excellent results! I germinated my 3 seeds using the paper towel method, and let me tell you, it works! There are great features to this weed; it has a deep purple hue, smells like the woods, and it gets you really high! I smoke this most nights of the week to handle my stress!

Just imagine when you wake up on Xmas morning, go into your basement and your weed plants are green and lush and beautiful and finally ready to harvest! That’s how it was for me this holiday season, and let me tell ya, smoking these trees really made the holiday come to life! I got myself a nice heavy yield offa this plant, and it’s super purple and tastes like fresh picked sour berries. I am super intrigued by how easy this whole process was, and I’ll def be back for more!
404dne (verified owner) –
Nice and purple in color, and it’s got that fresh berry taste that I totally love. Great buy from pacific, excellent customer service, online selection, and FAST delivery to my home. Got my pot seeds in under a week and used the germ guide to get these babies growing. 4 months later I am swimming in purple nug! Great indica blend which helps with stress and depression and anxiety. Highly recommend!
rocketman (verified owner) –
If you have an indoor grow space, I highly recommend giving this weed a try. It’s really easy to grow indoors, does very well if you give it proper lighting and water and the yield is really solid. It’s been so useful in helping me with stress and anxiety, helps with the pain in my neck and even helps me relax and sleep at night. Very impressed overall!
Lorenzo esparza (verified owner) –
This is some purple weed for sure, super dank and sticky and kinda awesome. Love those delicious vibes, super easy to grow and manage and does very well in an indoor environment. I have a nice grow space in my basement and am very happy with the results. Love the purple color and the sweet flavors, great for relaxing and de-stressing!
Karla I. (verified owner) –
If you’re all about the purps, then this is where it’s at! I am crazy about the way this stuff looks, it’s like bright neon purple and really hits ya hard, helps me relax and feel good about life. It’s been great for my depression and anxiety, and sometimes it makes me feel really creative and amazing and like I can accomplish anything. Treat yourself to this weed!
Kiersten M. (verified owner) –
Super purpley that’s for sure haha! It’s an easy grow that almost anyone can do. But it is a better indoor than outdoor grow, this plant likes specific growing conditions and you’ll definitely get more weed in your basement! I love the look of this weed, it’s leaves dark and purple and it’s nugs are really dense! I smoke in the evening to relax, helps me with stress and headaches and tastes like grape. Highly recommend!

I use pot for medical reasons, to treat some persistent pain in my lower back. Pot is the beat treatment I’ve found for my issues and Purple Urkle, despite the zany name, is particularly effective for me. The pain just melts away, but it doesn’t give me a foggy head, which I appreciate. I have a grow operation indoors and this mj really took to my set up. I was wondering if the leaves would turn purple at all, but that didn’t happen too strongly, just a faint purple hue in some of the outer leaves. I plan to order this strain again and again, purple urkle mj helps me feel like me again!
Pablo G. (verified owner) –
Can definitely see that this stems from mendocino purps, for sure. Really good creamy smoke and a really aesthetically pleasing plant. Nice big purple leaves. I planted some indoors and some outdoors just to see what would happen and I definitely got like twice the amount of weed from the indoor op. Nice indica heavy strain too but like psb said it doesn’t last super long so if you wanna relax and unwind for a few hours but still leave the house later this won’t knock you on your ass. Overall i’m really happy with this weed.

Commercial indoor grower in central OR. Ordered wholesale online through PSB and was satisfied with delivery time/customer service. Consistent germ rate with a high production of flower, great crop for practical growers with a focus on hybrids, manageable with few pest problems. Will continue to purchase for future production.

I suffer from insomnia and Purple Urkle helped me enormously. When I usually will wake up at least 5 times a night, I didn’t wake up once after smoking the Urkle. I like to use a vape to save my lungs, and it only took 2-3 hits to feel the effects. Very tranquil hight that got me ready for sleep. Also good anti-inflammatory effects. My body relaxed and the pain that usually keeps me up was mellowed to the point that it barely existed. Didn’t feel hungover the next day, either, which is why I give this 5 stars. Definitely going to keep this strain around.
Amelie K. (verified owner) –
First time trying this strain and I’m really happy! Full body relaxation! And its really helpful with inflammation, which I could use all the help I can get. I got injured on the job last year and even though I have insurance, doctors have pretty much failed me when it comes to treating my pain. I’m so grateful I can grow my own medicine at home and give myself what I need!
Wayne B. (verified owner) –
Gorgeous weed. I seriously loved growing this plant, it was beautiful and tall and the leaves were these deep purple and gold colors, almost too good to be true! The yield was So-So, but that’s probably because I didn’t do a great job taking care of the plant Haha! I smoke on the daily, but usually only in the afternoons cause otherwise I get really groggy, which is a bummer. I am also not the best at sleeping through the night, so this makes a big difference in my energy levels next day. Plus my house smells all sweet and earthy. Life improvement achieved lol!
Tess L. (verified owner) –
You can keep your Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea. I’ll have a hit or two of Urkle. It’s not completely a sedative, but def. on the relaxing side.
I did the grow outdoors, which may not have been the best choice. (Not enough room in the house to do otherwise). The yield was smaller than my previous grows by a significant margin.
What I yielded was real nice though. Flavors of grape and strawberry with just a hint of skunkiness. A good, solid indica hybrid. Recommended.
Lane R. (verified owner) –
BEST taste, BEST flavor! I’ve found that I’m pretty picky about what flavors I like in my mj and there’s something about purple urkle that makes it an absolute winner for me! One thing is that I don’t like the citrusy flavors of some strains of mj, they actually give me headaches. The berry-delicious, juicy and grape flavor of purple urkle is the opposite of that! Also the full-body relaxation of this mj is where it’s at. I just wish the high would last longer- guess I need to just buy more seeds, huh? ?
Joel O. (verified owner) –
I loved Urkle on that show back in the day so I sorta bought this seed on a whim. I’m a fan of hybrids so I figured why not? I have to say that I got a truly impressive grow — and indoors! I think this might be one of my biggest harvests to date. Things got a little tricky and I checked in with Pacific with a few of my questions. They were beyond helpful. Thanks a lot!
Scott D. (verified owner) –
DUDE Pacific Seed Bank was totally right about this weed tasting like strawberry and grape skittles it’s so good! This was a little bit harder to grow but I tried the scrog method for the first time and it helped keep the plants a little bit shorter for indoor growing but I heard topping works pretty good too for this guy. Plant produced really nice, buddy purps with flowering taking about two months to get the yield I was hoping for.
Billy R. (verified owner) –
WOW this is an amazing strain of weed. I was amazed at how many options there were online through PSB but wanted something chill to help me sleep at night and decided to buy this strain cause I wanted some more purple in my life you know? Seeds shipped straight to my door and were really successful right off the bat, easy to grow in my little growspace downstairs and had a pretty darn high yield. Of course I smoke this before beditme and it has really helped me sleep all through the night!
