Purple Urkle
Purple Urkle’s history is as complex as its flavor palate. A California strain, the origins are believed to stem from a select phenotype of Mendocino Purps, while the essence is a blend of skunk, berry, and fresh grapes. Consumers report the indica effects to be deeply relaxing, sleep-inducing, and a great option for full-body pain relief. The short onset of effects make it a perfect nighttime strain for those who suffer from insomnia.

History:
While they began their brand name in 2016, Space Monkey Meds carries decades of growing experience and have delivered their home-grown marijuana to Bay Area patients since 2012 and dispensing their flower to plenty of local dispensaries. Through their delivery service, the founding team cultivated an intimate understanding of what patients were looking for, while their professional conduct and high-quality cannabis kept bringing dispensaries back for more. Space Monkey Meds’ founder was among one of the first to offer their product in a can, and they slowly built up a reputation that fit their high standards of excellence. Finally positioned for takeoff, Space Monkey Meds launched their brand in 2016 to match a name to the marijuana patients and dispensaries adored, and since they’re beginnings, they’ve spread to more collectives, visited more events and are spreading their flower to touch more aspects of the cannabis industry.

Currently, Space Monkey Meds’ flowers are local to Sacramento, spreading both their cannabis and canned flowers to Sacramento delivery services as well as brick-and-mortar dispensaries in Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Not much is known about Purple Urkle’s origin story, except that it first appeared in the 1980s. Some online sources claim that the cultivar’s heritage can be traced back to Mendocino Purps, a well-known cannabis strain produced in Northern California’s Emerald Triangle. Others speculate that Purple Urkle could be a phenotype of either Mendocino Purps or Granddaddy Purple. Regardless of its origin, Purple Urkle’s resplendent purple coloring, due to a healthy amount of anthocyanins, undoubtedly contributed to its name.
Lab tests indicate larger percentages of the terpene myrcene contribute to Purple Urkle’s earthy, musky aromas, while the presence of alpha-pinene counteract the terpene’s more sedative effects. Users compliment Purple Urkle for its berry flavors and its impressive THC content, which clocks in between 17-22%, depending on grow conditions.
