It has a beautiful deep purple flowering, with orange tones mixed in and tightly coiled buds that have a bedazzling crystal coating.

Strain Origins

Chameleon Extracts out of Santa Clara, California are the developers behind Forbidden Fruit. In an interview, Chameleon’s Joseph explained that the original Tangie plant used to create the hybrid strain was a cut from the Crockett Family Farms, with its original genetics leading back to the mid-1990s. He advised that when some growers plant Forbidden Fruit, they make the mistake of trying to push the nutrient limit. “The genetics are so strong that you don’t have to push it,” he says. “You can literally throw it in the ground and hit it with a garden hose and you’re going to be extremely happy with the end results.” (https://cannabisnow.com/forbidden-fruit/)
