Purple Urkle

[thenotsoesoteric]

Any telltale signs for identifying the real PU? I've got a girl that is a medium size to shorter bush, node spacing on the shorter side, leaves somewhat thin, lots of blades, she seems lighter green in veg than other plants. Early in flower, she gets reeaaally grapey, with a hint of menthol or terpinolene, then when temps get cold, the flowers turn purple (but the leaves don't get purple until way later), and she gets some dank, skunky notes....does this sound right?

The purple u I grew from harborside in Oakland back in 09 was full on grape, no menthol. She was slow in veg and stayed short. I can't remember much about appearance in veg but mine didn't turn purple very much. Some color but nothing over the top.

She tasted great. Fruity pebbles/grape goodness.

If you can, id recommend hitting up mama funk in socal and snagging one of her Grape Ape cuts; if not, then go with CSI and get one of his Urkle crosses or straight up S1 urkle. Thats what I would do having experience with urkle myself.

I've only flowered my P.Urkle cut twice.
-- 1st time: she was shaded by a bigger girl, was pretty healthy, got fairly cold outdoor (NorCal) and she got super dark purple, very danky grapey skunky.

-- 2nd time: she was in full sun (no shade like 1st time) and got hit with aphids...she started off VERY grapey with HINT of menthol (just a teeny menthol hint, I didn't even notice it the 1st grow). Well, she never purpled or got the skunk and her grapey/mentholy terps tanked...Could have been due to (1) the aphids and/or (2) she didn't like the full sun.

What's your experience with Urkle? How do you identify her from other related cuts?
