purple-berry
Purple Urkle is a Northern California grape classic whose exact origins were never written down — most trace it to a Mendocino Purps selection — and it matters as much for its descendants (it's a parent of Granddaddy Purple) as for itself.
Did you try it?
“Deep grape and dark berry over a skunky, earthy base.”
The nose is the blueprint for 'purple': deep grape and dark berry over a skunky, earthy base. Expect a warm, dreamy heaviness that quiets the mind and settles into the limbs, drifting toward sleep.
It's an evening indica through and through, more about letting go than getting anything done. A foundational grape strain that still shows up in countless modern crosses.

Bud structure
Density varies with the grower and conditions — treat this as a tendency, not a guarantee.
Aroma
Flavour
Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is medium. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Purple Urkle is typically described with aromas of grape, sweet, fruity and earthy and flavours of grape, berry and sweet. Aroma and flavour vary with grower, batch and freshness.
Purple Urkle is commonly associated with effects such as relaxed, sleepy, heavy body and happy. Effects are subjective and depend on dose, setting and the individual — this is sensory guidance, not a guarantee.
Purple Urkle is classified as indica in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; the plant's full chemistry and how it was grown matter more.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Grape Ape, Grape Ice and Blackberry Kush. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
