Forbidos
Forbidden Fruit × Do-Si-Dos
Forbidos is a modern indica-leaning cultivar recognized for its dense, often purple-tinged buds and significant resin production. It offers a complex flavor profile that blends sweet, fruity, and creamy notes with a hint of diesel, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.
Appearance
Forbidos typically presents with compact to medium-sized buds characterized by tight calyx stacking and a dense coating of glandular trichomes. Mature flowers often display shades of violet and deep plum, particularly when grown with cooler night temperatures late in bloom, contrasting with pockets of lime-green. Rust-orange pistils add visual appeal, and the buds can feel gritty due to the heavy trichome coverage.
The structure leans towards OG-like density, rewarding careful trimming to preserve the abundant resin heads. This high resin content is desirable for solventless extraction methods.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Forbidos is often described as a blend of sugared citrus, reminiscent of orange peel and tart cherry, layered over creamy pastry notes and a subtle diesel undertone. Initial inhalation may bring forth bright, sherbet-like zest, complemented by doughy sweetness and a peppery finish.
Upon breaking apart the buds, deeper notes of earthy cocoa and cedar may emerge. Flavors can transition from fruit-forward during the initial consumption to a more pronounced cookie-gas profile as the experience progresses. Lingering notes can include a floral echo, sometimes compared to lavender.
Effects
Forbidos is generally reported to induce a sense of calm and relaxation, often accompanied by euphoric sensations. Its indica-leaning characteristics suggest a preference for evening use, providing a tranquil experience for many consumers.
The onset of effects is typically felt within minutes, with peak sensations occurring later and lasting for a few hours. This makes it suitable for unwinding after a long day.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Forbidos commonly tests between 20-26% THC, with some batches reaching higher percentages. CBD content is usually less than 1%. Total cannabinoid levels can exceed 25% with contributions from minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC.
The terpene profile is notable, frequently averaging 1.8-3.0% by weight. Key terpenes reported include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor.
Origins & Lineage
The name Forbidos strongly suggests its parentage as a cross between Forbidden Fruit and Do-Si-Dos. Forbidden Fruit is a hybrid known for its sweet-tart aromatics and vibrant colors, stemming from Tangie and Cherry Pie genetics. Do-Si-Dos, a cross of OGKB and Face Off OG, contributes OG-derived potency and a doughy, gassy profile.
This combination results in a cultivar that emphasizes flavor, with potential for both candy-citrus and creamy-cookie notes. Variations in phenotypes exist, with some leaning more towards the fruity aspects of Forbidden Fruit and others highlighting the gas and sedation of Do-Si-Dos.
Cultivation
Forbidos is considered grower-friendly, featuring compact calyxes and strong apical dominance with moderate stretch. Its high resin output and dense flowers make it attractive for both flower cultivation and solventless extraction. Growers may experience a stretch of 1.5x–2.0x after the light flip, with medium internodal spacing.
The cultivar benefits from good airflow to prevent microclimates. Its structure and trichome coverage are well-suited for mechanical separation in extraction processes. Flowering times are not specified but are typical for indica-leaning hybrids.
