Purple Urkle potency: THC and CBD from 35 lab tests

In only 35 state lab tests, a small sample, Purple Urkle flower had a median total THC of 19.00%, with the middle half of results between 15.98% and 22.42%.1 CBD is negligible, and none of the 35 matched tests report individual terpene values, so there is no lab terpene profile to show.1

Small sample: only 35 matched tests. Treat the figures on this page as indicative, not definitive.1

THC by year

Too few tests per year to show a trend: no year has 20 or more tests (2016: 1, 2018: 2, 2019: 7, 2020: 2, 2021: 9, 2022: 9, 2023: 5).1

THC by state

StateTestsMedian THC
Washington2320.40%

States with at least 10 tests. Labs, testing rules and sampling differ by state, so compare states with care.1

Terpene profile

None of the 35 matched tests report individual terpene values (the labs and states in this sample report none or only a total), so there is no terpene profile to show.1

How published THC figures compare

Strain databases publish a single figure or a range: Leafly lists 19%, AllBud 18–21% and Weedmaps 18–26%.2,3,4 Seed sellers advertise 20% (Zamnesia, Pyramid Seeds) to 22% (United Cannabis Seeds, Homegrown Cannabis Co.).5,6,7,8 In our small sample of state lab results, 90% of tests came in below 24.68% and 8.6% reached 25% or more, so the top of the Weedmaps range describes unusual flower rather than typical flower.1

Limits of this data

  • Coverage is thin: WA (23), MI (8), CA (2), HI (1), MA (1). Only WA has 10 or more tests. Oregon and Rhode Island results carry no product names and could not be matched.
  • A few sources dominate. The tests come from 10 labs, none with more than 26.5% of them, but one producer accounts for 51.9% of the 27 tests that name a producer.
  • No terpene data: none of the 35 matched tests report individual terpene values. Washington, Michigan and Hawaii data carry no terpene values, and the 3 California and Massachusetts results in this sample carry none either.
  • We matched names strictly and counted both spellings: crosses and near-miss names (for example "Mendocino Purple Urkle") are excluded and counted, and 2 duplicate certificates were removed.
