CSI: HUMBOLDT - Mendocino Purple Urkle

So the story of purple goes...
"Purple, the name and the colour, comes from a dye made from the mucus glands of a tropical sea snail, the murex (porphyra in Greek, purpura in Latin). This discovery is attributed to the Phoenician god Heracles, the guardian deity of the city of Tyre. One day his dog bit into a murex shell and its mouth immediately turned purple. His companion, the beautiful nymph Tyrus, declared she would sleep with the god only if he dyed her a garment in the same shade. Heracles obliged and the famous Tyrian purple dye was born."

That moment portrayed in a 1636 Painting by Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens here.

The Phoenicians were the first to have and lust after Purple, even their name comes from purple- Phoenicia= Land of Purple. The Egyptians sought it, the Greeks revered it, the Romans hoarded it and now I'm looking for that Purple.

So in the hunt for Purple strains two have always caught my eye, Mendocino purple aka Purps and Purple urkle. Nspecta has been on the boards for years, always been honest and detailed in his stains. You do some digging on these two lines you are bound to see his pictures on the boards, like here.

When Nspecta crossed these two together he made my decision easy, Mendocino Purple Urkle- Mendocino Purple(female) x Purple Urkle(reversed female).

The Greeks had a verb for thinking deeply, "kalchaino" Meaning I search for the Purple fish. Thousands of years later I'm still searching for that Purple.

RulaTone, theJointedOne, ForTheLove and Mister G - Thanks for tagging along for the show, should be a purple one.

NEW ENGLAND, MR_Falcon- for a long time forum member with legit genetics, I thought I would see more of Nspecta's gear around here by now. After seeing Green Dots finds I had to pop, had me at peanut butter and jelly pheno of game changer. Thanks for tagging along and Good luck with your packs.


Update in veg, All topped and cloned. Pretty slow growth but nice fat structure with even growth. Really have a plump type vibe and Digging the dark stems. Up potting and under the MH for more veg.

Beautiful girls billycw,they look loved,and gonna love you right back.
They have that big fat 3 blade leaf structure of the urkle,and the slower veg growth.Well worth the extra couple of weeks though.

Can I ask if the clones rooted easily on them,all the best

Little update
All 7 of these girls are going into flower this week, pretty slow veggers and wanted them decent size going in. All have a very nice deep stank already.

I was topping one of the clones #7 and noticed she bleeds purple(ok more red but still) :) Thinking we are going to see some nice purple ladies soon.

Sure, I'll take some new ones when I throw them in. These are from a couple days ago to give you an idea. I'm seeing 2 expressions in the girls one cartoon like fat round leafs with spacing between node's, I'm guessing urkle dom. The other less round leaf's with tighter node spacing, I'm guessing mendo purp dom.
