Growing Tips for Forbidden Fruit

Forbidden Fruit is a tricky strain to cultivate, even if you have prior growing experience in the cannabis world. Forbidden Fruit marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to a warm Mediterranean climate. Forbidden Fruit cannabis seeds grow into plants with resinous trichomes littering the surface area. Those trichomes make the buds appear purple to the naked eye.

If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to contend with unexpected outdoor variables — particularly useful across Canada's varied regional climates. These plants grow to a short/medium height and can reach around 90–180 centimetres tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 180 centimetres, they will fit in smaller grow areas, making it easy to cultivate multiple plants at a time.

The ideal temperature for these plants is around 20–27 degrees Celsius and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40–70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages.

High-stress training (HST) and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the best training techniques for this particular strain of cannabis. If performed correctly and at the right time, these techniques will promote bud production and increase final yields. LST and HST manipulate the plants by tying down the branches to increase the size and density of the buds while allowing them to grow almost naturally. The Forbidden Fruit strain requires an 18–20 hour light cycle to reach the vegetative growth stage. This strain needs a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. A 12/12 cycle is necessary to get the plant from flowering to harvest.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Forbidden Fruit strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60–70 days.
• Yields: Indoor yields are around 450 grams per square metre, while outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. The healthy yields that this strain produces are a welcome reward for a job well done.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers across Canada can plan on harvesting their yields around the end of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.

Forbidden Fruit: Fruity Citrus and Pine

The Forbidden Fruit cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant - Spicy and peppery, caryophyllene is mostly found in cloves, black pepper, and cannabis plants.
• Limonene: Secondary Terpene - Limonene is found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges.
• Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes - Myrcene is responsible for some cannabis strains' earthy and woody flavour and aroma.
