How to grow Deep Purple
THC 16% 
Flowering 50 - 60 days Taste
Seb's take
Purple Urkle supplies the lavender-and-eggplant colouring, Querkle the grape-and-fruit flavour — between them, an honest division of labour. The high builds in layers, starting light and slightly disorienting before settling into something calmer and more perceptive: relaxed, euphoric, and calming by the end.
Where it comes from
Subcool's cross of Purple Urkle with Querkle, and the record lays out an honest division of labour between them: Purple Urkle supplies the lavender-and-eggplant colouring, Querkle the grape and fruit flavour. Between them they make an 80 percent indica that looks as good as it tastes. Kept as regular seeds, in the TGA tradition. A pairing where each parent had one clear job and did it.
Nose & flavour
Grape leads, sweet and vivid, with a broader fruitiness filling in behind, the Querkle half doing exactly what it was brought in to do. A dessert-sweet nose with none of the fuel or funk some indicas carry. Clean, fruity and moreish, and matched to the deep purple hues the plant wears.
The high
The record makes much of how layered it is, and rightly. It starts light, with a faintly disorienting edge, before growing into something more perceptive: heightened sound and colour, then a settling calm. Relaxed, euphoric and calming by the end, at a listed 16 percent THC. A more interesting, textured effect than the modest number suggests, and best met somewhere you can sit with it.
Growing it
Regular seeds, so expect to sex the room and keep your females. Flowering is quick at fifty to sixty days, around fifty-five. The record gives no height or yield figure, so temperament must guide you: an 80 percent indica of this sort tends to stay compact and colour up deeply as it finishes, especially with a cool night toward the end to bring out the purple. Grow her for looks and flavour as much as weight. A short, handsome plant with real character.
