About Querkle
Querkle is an iconic California indica-dominant hybrid created in the mid-2000s by the late legendary breeder Subcool of TGA Genetics (The Green Avengers). By pollinating the slow-growing, flavorful California clone Purple Urkle with his renowned Space Queen male (The Dude: Romulan × Cinderella 99), Subcool increased Purple Urkle's growth vigor while preserving its legendary candied grape flavor. Querkle produces dense, rock-hard buds splashed in royal purple and dark violet, drenched in crystalline resin. The aroma is mouth-watering—releasing artificial grape soda, wild blackberries, sweet vanilla cream, and earthy hashish. It delivers a deeply relaxing, heavy-bodied stone that melts chronic physical pain and guides consumers into restorative sleep.
