Genetics
Purple #1 x Auto Forbidden Fruit x Cherry Pie
Indica-dominant autoflower (Feminised)
Aroma & Flavour
Auto Forbidden Cherry has a pungent, fruity terpene profile with notes of citrus, forest fruits, lavender, and spice. As the buds cure, the citrus softens and gives way to a stronger Kush aroma. The smoke is smooth and flavourful, with a classic earthy Kush taste accented by sweet fruit.
Appearance
This strain produces compact, resinous buds with striking purple colours that can range from violet to nearly black, especially in cooler climates. Plants typically grow to 40–75 cm with a dominant central cola and a few side branches. Open bud spacing and a favourable flower-to-leaf ratio make her easy to trim and less prone to mould.
Effects
The high is calming, relaxing, and physically soothing—perfect for unwinding without heavy sedation. A slight mental uplift complements the body high, making it suitable for daytime or evening use. Medical users may benefit from its potential to ease pain and aid sleep.
Growing Characteristics
Auto Forbidden Cherry is a robust, beginner-friendly autoflower that performs well in a wide range of conditions—indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouses. She’s highly resistant to pests, mould, and adverse weather. The average lifecycle is 63–70 days from seed to harvest, with some phenos finishing in as little as 9 weeks in ideal conditions.
Height: 40–75 cm (up to 100 cm in large containers)
Lifecycle: 9–10 weeks indoor / 10–12 weeks outdoor
Structure: Compact/medium with hybrid leaf development
Best environment: Indoor, outdoor, greenhouse, or guerrilla

Grow Tips
Best grown naturally with minimal training. Topping is possible but not recommended for yield. Start directly in the final pot and provide 20–24 hours of light during early growth for best results. Performs exceptionally well in aerated containers and cooler climates, where purple colours intensify. Excellent for hash production, with potential for deep purple extracts.
