Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit is a strain that takes your senses on a ride from the very first moment. Born from a cross of the delicious Cherry Pie and Tangie, it quickly took off, especially here in the US, thanks to its one-of-a-kind flavor and potent effects.

This genetic pairing has produced an indica/sativa hybrid that's indica-dominant yet very balanced in its effect. It grows fast and vigorously, especially outdoors, where it can reach up to 10 feet tall. Its long, thick branches easily carry the weight of its impressive flowers.

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

Flavor and effects

Forbidden Fruit has a flavor 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 backed 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 smokers. It kicks off with a euphoric rush that lifts your mood and leaves you feeling happy and content. Then comes deep body relaxation that leaves you thoroughly chilled out, ideal for kicking back and unwinding.

Its CBD content is low, under 1%, so it's perfect if you're after potent effects rather than the gentler feel of CBD-rich strains.

Forbidden Fruit terpenes

The terpenes in Forbidden Fruit are behind its unique aromas and flavors, and they 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 scent 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 want a complete and satisfying experience.

Yield and flowering time

Forbidden Fruit stands out not only for its effects and flavors but also for its impressive yields. Indoors it can produce 1.6 to 2 oz per square foot, especially if you use techniques such as ScrOG to make the most of your light and space. Indoor flowering is fairly quick, at around 63 days after you flip the lights.

Outdoors, Forbidden Fruit can reach impressive heights of up to 10 feet and give even bigger harvests. You can expect 25 to 32 oz (about 1.5 to 2 lb) per plant in ideal growing conditions. The outdoor harvest usually falls in mid-October, which makes it ideal for areas with long summers and mild falls.

How to grow Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit is a strain we recommend to beginners and experts alike because it's 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, sunny, dry climates like California's or the Southwest's. Even so, it's quite hardy and adapts well to less-than-ideal conditions, as long as you give it a quality soil mix 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.
