Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit is a strain that takes you on a sensory journey from the very first moment. Born from a cross of the delicious Cherry Pie and Tangie, it quickly became popular, especially in the United States, thanks to its unrivalled flavour and potent effects.

This genetic combination has produced an indica/sativa hybrid that is indica-dominant yet very balanced in its effect. It grows fast and vigorously, especially outdoors, where it can reach up to 3 metres in height. Its long, thick branches easily carry the weight of its impressive flowers.

The buds are monsters. Dense and rock-hard, they are dark green, flecked with a few orange hairs and coated in a thick layer of brightly shining trichomes. They are so striking they look like something out of a dream, and they're not just pretty to look at.

Flavour and effects

Forbidden Fruit has a flavour and aroma that are simply irresistible. You'll notice a smooth, fresh taste with fruity hints of sweet lemon and notes of berries and pine. The aroma is just as sweet, with pine undertones complemented by berry, lemon and earthy notes, for a complete sensory experience.

With THC between 23% and 26%, Forbidden Fruit delivers very potent effects that can feel intense even for high-tolerance users. It kicks off with a euphoric rush that lifts your mood and leaves you feeling happy and content. This is followed by a deep body relaxation that leaves you thoroughly chilled, ideal for moments of rest and unwinding.

Its CBD content is also low, below 1%, making it perfect if you're after potent effects rather than the gentler character of CBD-rich strains.

Forbidden Fruit terpenes

The terpenes in Forbidden Fruit are responsible for its unique aromas and flavours, and also shape much of its effect. The most prominent are limonene, which adds a cheerful citrus touch; myrcene, with earthy, fruity notes, associated with deep relaxation; and caryophyllene, known for its warm, peppery character.

Other terpenes in Forbidden Fruit include alpha-pinene, which brings a pine fragrance and a fresh, clear-headed note, and linalool, which adds a floral hint and a calm, mellow feel.

These terpenes not only enrich the sensory experience but also reinforce its relaxing effect, making this strain an ideal choice if you're looking for a complete and satisfying experience.

Yield and flowering time

Forbidden Fruit stands out not only for its effects and flavours but also for its impressive yields. Indoors it can produce between 500 and 600 grams per square metre, especially if you use techniques such as ScrOG to make the most of light and space. Indoor flowering is relatively quick, at around 63 days from the photoperiod switch.

Outdoors, Forbidden Fruit can reach impressive heights of up to 3 metres and give even bigger harvests. You can expect 700 to 900 grams per plant in optimal growing conditions. The outdoor harvest usually falls in mid-October, making it ideal for climates with long summers and mild autumns.

How to grow Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit is a strain we recommend to both novice and expert growers because it is so easy to grow. It doesn't need special care, so it's ideal if you want a low-maintenance plant.

For the best results, the right climate is essential. Forbidden Fruit thrives in warm, Mediterranean climates with plenty of sunshine. Even so, it is quite hardy and adapts well to less-than-ideal conditions, as long as you give it a quality substrate and the right nutrients.

One of the big advantages of Forbidden Fruit is its resistance to pests and diseases, which makes it a safe choice if you want to keep risks to a minimum during the grow.
