Forbidden Fruit Seeds

Genetics & effects

Forbidden Fruit is a feminised photoperiod cultivar combining Cherry Pie × Tangie genetics. Its profile is approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa, pairing sturdy growth with a fruit-led aromatic character. Outback Seed Bank presents this cultivar for growers seeking colourful flowers, generous potential yields and a moderately challenging project.

THC is listed at 20–23%, while CBD is listed at up to 1%. Individual experiences can vary, but users may subjectively describe the effects as relaxed, happy or euphoric, sometimes with a more sociable and talkative edge. The flavour profile may suggest sweet fruit, tree fruit, lemon and pine. Myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene are the principal listed terpenes.

Growing in Australia

Forbidden Fruit is considered an intermediate-level cultivar suited to temperate or hot, dry conditions. Australian growers can plan around southern-hemisphere seasons, with spring planting generally falling between September and November. Local timing should account for latitude, daily temperatures, rainfall and daylight hours.

Good airflow and sensible canopy spacing are valuable, particularly where late-season humidity could encourage mould. Regular observation helps growers respond to changes in plant structure, moisture and colour. Catalogue figures describe potential rather than assured outcomes, as performance depends on environment, grower experience and plant variation.

Indoor

Indoors, plants may reach up to 150 cm. Training and canopy management can help make practical use of available vertical space and keep light exposure more even. The listed indoor yield is up to 600 g/m² under suitable conditions.

• Use consistent light cycles for this photoperiod cultivar.
• Maintain airflow through and around the canopy.
• Monitor humidity as flowers gain density.
• Allow enough headroom for flowering stretch.

Its feminised format is intended to produce female plants, although natural variation remains possible. Growers may find that measured training, rather than frequent major changes, makes the structure easier to manage.

Outdoor

Outdoors, Forbidden Fruit may grow to up to 200 cm and has a listed yield of up to 950 g per plant. A warm, bright position with suitable spacing can support its branching habit. In hot, dry regions, monitor moisture carefully; in temperate areas, focus on airflow and exposure to autumn rain.

Choose a position that receives ample direct light and is not crowded by surrounding plants. Support may be useful as branches carry heavier flowers. Inspecting sheltered areas of the canopy after rain can help reduce the risk of mould.

Harvest

The flowering period is approximately 8–10 weeks. For Australian outdoor gardens, harvest commonly falls between March and May, depending on planting time, latitude and seasonal conditions. Rather than relying on a calendar date alone, assess overall flower maturity, aroma, resin development and fading leaf colour.

Prepare a clean, shaded and well-ventilated space for post-harvest drying. Handle flowers carefully to preserve their sweet fruit, lemon and pine character. Final height, timing, potency and yield will vary between plants and growing environments.
