Querklestein

Cannabis Strain by Astrul

Introduction
Querklestein plays on TGA Genetics' Querkle strain name, adding the "-stein" suffix common in cannabis naming conventions (like Frankenstein crosses). While specific breeder attribution appears unclear, the name suggests either a Querkle backcross, a selection from Querkle seeds, or a cross using Querkle as a parent. Querkle itself (Space Queen x Purple Urkle from SubCool's TGA) became a foundation strain for numerous breeders.

Lineage
The genetic connection to Querkle suggests grape-forward terpenes from Purple Urkle heritage combined with Space Queen's resinous structure and potency. Multiple breeders worked with Querkle genetics after TGA released it, creating various selections and crosses. Without specific breeder documentation, Querklestein could represent any of these directions—phenotype selection, backcross for trait stabilization, or outcross for hybrid vigor.

Terpenes
Terpene profiles in Querkle genetics emphasize beta-caryophyllene, myrcene, and linalool—producing grape, berry, and floral aromatics with spicy undertones. The combination creates sweet, fruity smell and taste that made Querkle popular among flavor-focused growers. Querklestein presumably maintains this profile while adding whatever variations the specific breeding introduced.

Growth
Cultivation likely follows Querkle's indica-dominant patterns: compact structure, purple coloration potential when exposed to cool temperatures, moderate flowering time around 56-63 days. The strain's popularity meant it tolerated various growing conditions reasonably well.

Effects
Effects align with indica-leaning hybrid territory: physical relaxation, mental calm, evening-appropriate use rather than active daytime situations.
