   QUALITY

   Not the greatest batch but I think the grower saved it in the end per the solid high & trichome devlopement. Purple is tough to grow and most likely the strain too. I think it was grown to within 83% of its potential as an AAA+++/AAAA version of this would be an upper-cut to the head+body. Similar to good GSC in cerebral – melts depression with an uplifting kick that’s very enjoyable and noticeable, especially when you move around.

   DOES IT WORK

   Sure does. My gf is not a high tolerance smoker, I gave her a fat bowl in a bong, waited a couple mins to turn back to her on the couch to ask how she felt. She smiled and said “great, I feel dancey [we’re playing music].” I asked if she felt “high-high” and she said “yes”. A light cerebral. One look at her and I know she’s as high as a standing grizzly bears titties and she’s being vague. We’re feeling the same upliftment from music.

   OVERALL+USEFULNESS

   Overall 4.3-4.6/5 a great buy for high tolerance and not because of the price, if price considered 4.6-4.7/5, for everyone else 4.85/5 as a value smoke. Yeah, I went into that decimal, why? Small but valid reason: it’s incredibly easily busted for joints, trichomes stay on the bud, it burns similar to dryer tobacco that’s not harsh at all (tobacco comes in strips, basically), the bud structure is just like that and when ground or finger-crushed up it has this easily handle-able feel for rolling in paper, stems are easily seen and tossed. Would smoke well in a 3g hemp wrap for 3+ people. You don’t even need a grinder. It’s not super dense, I can squish it to pieces but it won’t quite “crunch” as a whole as it isn’t too-dry but its very outer layer is crunchy (the leaves). Cured well but the structure has its limits.

   GRADING

   Potency 4.3-4.6/5
   Taste: weird or unique but not unpleasant/5
   Smell: not pungent, does have a smell, also unique, sweet-berry-grape
   Looks: also unique, not weird, a three-quarter mesh of orange, green and purple. Trichomes aren’t in abundance but they’re highly/clearly visible with a nice shine-back from an LED.

   VALUE?

   Ahhh, the value menu. Is this a value buy? Yes and no. Mostly no because whatever it lacks it makes up for by doing its job. I usually only purchase from the value menu at Wendy’s (this was a 1g sample though), I’ve had my share of cheap $100 AA. I’ve come to hate value shit that ends up leaving me half-satisfied per my shorter than last months budget. This isn’t that, it’s more like it couldn’t be more expensive because it seems like great albeit somewhat leafy outdoor with an odd/unique pull-apart tobacco-like structure. I have no idea [I asked – it’s indoor] but I can tell you it smells like (not to sound bad lol) dirt [earthy but a simpler, harder earth profile] and GRAPES!

   What can you expect for $115? Thank God more than you’d think [but exactly as advertised]. A true AAA that’s far from being AA, its parents are complete opposites and when smashed together you truly get the best of both worlds with this 50:50 hybrid that is similar to other straight up hybrids but with a touch more upliftyness that I could feel, lacking a smidge on outright potency but makes up for it by smoking 1.25X more that keeps it from being an AAA+.

   LOOKS

   Trichomes are thin but long with the dot on the end especially inside [indicator of being harvested at the right time], not caked in places but the trichomes get bigger on the inside, they’re spaced out a little and it doesn’t cake up into the interior of the stalk – the outside is almost the exact same as the inside but “like 20%” better looking inside in general with its more advanced trichomes with dotted ends.

   SMELL AND STUFF

   I ground up .75g and took a whiff. I thought my mind was playing games on me – I smelled actual grape – a rare occurrence. Is this a joke?, I thought [because it’s purple]. I immediately looked at its terpenes – sweet, berry, grape. Ok cool, I’m not crazy. It isn’t pungent or wafty but put close to your nose you can get differentiating low-mid-high tones out of it. It is interesting overall with tones of citrus, sweet, berry in the background. Even the exhale tastes different – like it’s outdoor – I read on AllBud “The high starts with a euphoric boost that infuses you with creative inspiration and a sense of purpose”, “…with a grapey earthy exhale that’s almost like red wine. The smell is of rich spicy berries and grape with a musky overtone that has a slight tangy citrus effect. Urkle Train Haze buds have small dark olive green round nugs with purple undertones, bright orange hairs, and a coating of dark crystal trichomes.” That couldn’t be more accurate.

   WHY I RECOMMEND THIS AND TO WHO

   I would buy an oz of this for an all-day smoke. It’s perfect for fighting depression or being out and about, if this wasn’t grown the best than by god the strain choice is enough to pull it through as its parents Ghost Train Haze is a 75% sativa heavy-hitter while Purple Urkle is a 100%-indica heavy-hitter; complete opposites that harmonized so well into a happy-relaxing effect. Buy it for party blunts. Buy it for lots of doobs. Buy it for your low tolerance girlfriend lol. Buy it if you get high from smoking anything but don’t want to pay a lot. Buy if you’re new to this. If you’re a high tolerance user I would get this as an all-day smoke but I would also re-direct you to the +$10/+$20 options that might last longer indica wise with different effect profiles.

   WHY I WOULD BUY IT

   I guessed it was a 50:50 after smoking and was correct lol. It feels like a 55% indica. 10 or 15 years ago when I was in high-school and we couldn’t pick between strains and purple weed was the coolest thing ever this would’ve been heralded then but “today’s” weed obviously stomps it. This stuff seems to be somewhere between “perfect outdoor” and “not the best indoor.” It’s extremely far from an AA and closer to an AAA+ but because of the weird bud structure I’m thinking they couldn’t justify it being more than $115. For getting high it’s the same as buying a $125-$135/oz but the bud structure is looser, potency isn’t the reason it’s cheaper although it does feel a tiny bit mellower than say GSC or AK47 which have extremely similar effects, the effect profile is wonderful and uplifting AF with the Leafly table showing Happy-Relaxed-Euphoric-Uplifted-Creative and she’s on point. I was a fan after 2 bowls. Happy & relaxing ++.

   CONCLUSION

   Considering price it’s a great buy and I would buy this as a high tolerance user (which is utterly surprising at $115), this is only the second website I’ve had “cheap” stuff be AAA and not AA. It gets you high but not overly, I had 1 bowl and was high but wanted more, when I had a second bowl I was really feeling it. This is simply not $125 or more because the bud structure itself is looser, it’s a tad leafy around the outsides. It isn’t super potent for me but it surely gets me high and with a divine effect profile. Not “high” where it’s “barely high” or reaching to give this a good review, I’m high period, no question. For $115/oz, hell yeah.

   The strain itself is a conundrum but so is this batch. Its look & physical feel surprisingly deceive. When I see purple I think it’s a gimmick; the plants were cold-stressed but some genetics just do this.
