Forbidden Fruit
Forbidden Fruit
Also known as: Purple Obeah
Overview
Forbidden Fruit is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Cherry Pie and Tangie, developed by Dutchgrown Seeds. This strain typically features around 70% indica and 30% sativa genetics. With lineage that includes legendary strains like Durban Poison and Granddaddy Purple, Forbidden Fruit has become a favorite for its fruit-forward profile and balanced hybrid qualities. It first appeared in the mid-2010s and thanks its mouthwatering characteristics to its notable parent strains.
Forbidden Fruit is famous for producing buds with stunning dark purple, pink, and orange hues, featuring dense pebble-shaped dark forest green nugs with sparse orange hairs and a thick frosty coating of minty green crystal trichomes. This strain combines the best of its parents: Cherry Pie contributes sweet, fruit-like aromas with notes passed down from its Durban Poison and Granddaddy Purple heritage, while Tangie adds vibrant tangerine and orange zest notes. The terpene profile is a perfect mixture of Cherry Pie's musky, sweet cherry undertones and Tangie's loud tropical flavors, with notes of pine, mango, and passionfruit candy.

Growing Information
Forbidden Fruit is relatively simple to grow and resilient to colder temperatures and dry conditions. Given her indica-dominance, she has tight internodes, broad dark green foliage, and heights easily extending above 70cm indoors. Her entire flowering cycle lasts roughly 10 weeks, and her yields are bountiful. The strain usually takes about 8 to 10 weeks to reach full bloom when grown indoors. Outdoors, it thrives best in warm, sunny conditions similar to a Mediterranean climate, with harvest generally occurring by mid-October. When grown indoors, plants maintain a manageable stature between 80 and 120cm tall, producing up to 500g per square meter. Outside, Forbidden Fruit reaches 160cm tall and typically produces a harvest of 550g per plant by early October. Forbidden Fruit is resilient to pests and mould, making her an ideal choice for outdoor growers.
