What is the Forbidden Fruit strain?

Forbidden Fruit joins an orchard parent with a citrus-grove parent. Cherry Pie, itself a Granddaddy Purple x Durban Poison cross, supplies dark fruit, purple color and a calm body feel. Tangie, the well-known tangerine sativa, adds a burst of sweet orange peel and a lighter, smiling headspace.

The indica side wins out in the plant’s shape. Expect stout, compact plants with short internodes and dense, teardrop-shaped buds. Late in flower many phenotypes shift from forest green into violet and magenta, with amber pistils and a fine layer of frost that makes the flower look almost painted.

The aroma is where the name comes from: ripe cherry and tangerine with a tropical, almost mango-like edge that is hard to resist. These feminized seeds are bred to produce female plants, so the whole pack is aimed at flower.

How it feels

Consumers commonly describe a slow, dreamy onset rather than a sudden hit, with a cheerful mood first and warm body relaxation later. The full experience often runs two to three hours.

  1. First 15 minutesSoft, smiling lift

    A gentle, dreamy euphoria that brightens the mood.

  2. 45 to 90 minutesWarm body ease

    Relaxation spreads through the body while the head stays content.

  3. 2 to 3 hoursDrowsy wind-down

    Larger amounts often lead toward rest and sleep.

Commonly reportedRelaxedDreamyEuphoricSleepy

Reported THC of 20-24% is still strong, so begin with a small amount. Most people save it for evenings with nothing else planned. Commonly reported downsides include dry mouth, dry eyes and grogginess, and some people report anxiety at high doses. General reports, not medical guidance.

Aroma, flavor and terpenes

Black cherry and tangerine peel lead, followed by a tropical sweetness and a faint earthy base from the Cherry Pie side. The scent turns strong in the last three weeks of bloom, so plan on odor control.

Flavor notesCherryTangerineTropicalSweet

Let night temperatures fall about 10°F below daytime in the final two weeks to coax out purple color, then dry slowly at 60°F and 60% humidity to protect the fruit notes.

How to grow Forbidden Fruit

Read the full indoor grow guide

Indoors, Forbidden Fruit is a tidy plant that typically tops out at 3 to 4 feet, a good fit for a 2×4, 3×3 or 4×4 ft tent. Its stretch after the flip is modest, which makes canopy planning simple even for newer growers.

Environment

  • Vegetative: 72-79°F and 55-65% relative humidity.
  • Flower: 68-79°F with RH held at 40-45%. Dense teardrop buds hold moisture, so do not let humidity creep up late.
  • Color: in the last two weeks, cooler nights trigger the violet and magenta shades. Avoid going below about 60°F, which can slow ripening.

Light and training

Moderate light is enough. Aim for 550-750 PPFD late in veg and 750-950 PPFD in bloom. Top once and use low-stress training to open the bushy frame into four to eight main colas. Strip small, shaded growth from the lower branches so air can pass through.

Feeding

The Cherry Pie side tends to prefer a lighter hand. Feed at moderate strength, back off nitrogen once flowers set, and add cal-mag if you run LEDs. Overfeeding can dull both color and flavor.

Harvest timing

Plan on 8 to 10 weeks after the flip, with most phenotypes ready around week nine. Watch the trichomes: cloudy with roughly 15-20% amber suits the strain’s relaxing character.

Growing Forbidden Fruit outdoors in the US

Outdoors, Forbidden Fruit grows to about 5 to 6 feet and is usually ready in early October. That timing lets it beat the worst fall weather across much of the country, and the cool nights of early autumn deepen its purple color naturally. Plant out once your last frost has passed and nights stay above roughly 50°F.

The weak spot is rain on ripening buds. Dense teardrop flowers can trap water, so prune the inside of the plant for airflow and keep a simple rain cover or hoop frame ready for wet spells. Our outdoor planting guide has dates for each USDA zone, and the harvest and curing guide covers the steps after the chop.

Check your state rules before planting. Adult home cultivation is legal in some states and not others, and plant limits vary. See marijuana laws by state.

Forbidden Fruit FAQ

Is Forbidden Fruit indica or sativa?

Forbidden Fruit is an indica-dominant hybrid, usually described as about 70% indica. It grows short and dense, and its effects lean toward relaxation after a soft, upbeat start.

How strong is Forbidden Fruit?

Our supplier reports THC of 20-24%. That is potent but a step below the heaviest dessert strains, so many regular consumers find it easier to enjoy. Results vary by phenotype and harvest timing.

How long does Forbidden Fruit take to flower?

Indoors it takes about 8 to 10 weeks from the flip to 12/12, with many plants ready near week nine. Outdoors in the US, expect to harvest in early October.

How much does Forbidden Fruit yield?

With strong light and good training, indoor grows can produce around 1.5 to 1.8 ounces per square foot. Outdoor plants in full sun can produce roughly 18 to 21 ounces each.

Is Forbidden Fruit easy to grow?

It is rated moderate, but its compact size and mild stretch make it one of the friendlier picks for newer growers. The main thing to manage is low humidity in late flower.

What does Forbidden Fruit smell and taste like?

Sweet black cherry and tangerine dominate, with a tropical edge and a gentle earthy base. Myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene are the terpenes most often reported.

Where does Forbidden Fruit grow best in the US?

Dry, sunny regions like inland California and the Southwest are ideal. Thanks to its early October finish, it also does well in the Midwest and the Colorado Front Range.

How do I get Forbidden Fruit to turn purple?

Color is mostly genetic, but cooler nights help it show. Drop night temperatures about 10°F below daytime for the last two weeks of bloom, while keeping them above about 60°F so ripening does not stall.
