Blurple
Blurple
Also known as: Blue Dream Purple, The Purp, Blurple Urkle
Overview
Blurple is a balanced hybrid strain created through crossing Blue Dream and Mendocino Purps, though multiple breeders have offered different genetic combinations including Blue Dream x Purple Kush and Blueberry x Purple Urkle. The strain emerged during the early-to-mid 2010s on the U.S. West Coast, with most accounts tracing its origin to Northern California or Oregon. The name cleverly blends "blue" and "purple," reflecting both its common ancestry and the vivid anthocyanin-rich coloration many phenotypes display.
Blurple is characterized by compact to medium-dense flowers with calyxes swelling into conical or egg-shaped clusters, with the best phenotypes developing striking dark-violet to indigo hues alongside emerald green. Bluish purple hues swirl throughout Blurple's green buds, earning the strain its distinctive name. Despite lineage variability across different breeders, core traits remain remarkably consistent, including medium-to-high resin density and berry-grape flavor continuity. The strain has maintained steady demand in regional markets where berry and grape notes remain best-sellers, thanks to its bag appeal and balanced terpene profile.

Growing Information
Blurple can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 63-70 days. The strain grows very fast with planting difficulty ranging from easy to mid-level. For best growth and yield, good lighting, normal humidity, and normal soil pH are necessary. Blue Dream-leaning versions tend to grow taller and branchier with a 9-10 week bloom, while Blueberry/Purple Urkle-leaning versions express shorter internodes and deeper purple pigmentation with an 8-9 week bloom. Indoor yields average about 14 ounces per square meter, while experienced growers can achieve 400-550 g/m² indoors and 450-800 g per plant outdoors. The plant is naturally resistant to common molds and mildew, preferring moderate climate with temperatures between 70°F and 80°F with 40-50% humidity.
