Take Forbidden Fruit, the Cherry Pie and Tangie cross that is all about the fruit, and put it over Raskal Berries, White Strawberry crossed onto Blue Power, and now a house parent itself. That is Sinister Berries (Forbidden Fruit x Raskal Berries). The known parent is doing real work here - it is what turns an interesting pairing into a line that comes out the same way twice.

Forbidden Fruit sits on the seed side here, Raskal Berries on the pollen side. If you have seen these two names paired the other way round, that is a different pack and not this one.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Forbidden Fruit. Cherry Pie crossed to Tangie - dark cherry against bright citrus. Parentage: Cherry Pie x Tangie. Rated an easy grow that does not need constant attention.
• Father: Raskal Berries. OG Raskal's berry plant crossed onto the house male. Parentage: given as White Strawberry x Blue Power. The point of the cross was practical: Blue Power pulled the flowering time down and improved how the finished flower looks, without giving up what White Strawberry brought.
• Why it is worth a pack rather than a look. The two sides are far enough apart that seedlings genuinely differ. That range is the product.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

The nose is where these two argue hardest.

• The Aroma. Tropical citrus over dark cherry from the Forbidden Fruit side, against strawberry-led, with weight behind it from the Raskal Berries side.
• The Taste. Cherry and passionfruit with citrus over the top up front, turning to sweet berry closing on kush through the exhale.

What each side brings

• They are not on the same clock. Forbidden Fruit runs nine to ten weeks indoors; Raskal Berries runs fast - forty-five to fifty-five days. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Two noses, one pack. Forbidden Fruit contributes dark cherry and bright orange citrus. Raskal Berries contributes sweet berry with kush behind it. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Two frames in one pack. Forbidden Fruit is compact at eighty to a hundred and twenty centimetres indoors. Raskal Berries is sativa-leaning at around seventy thirty, yielding four to six hundred grams a square metre. Decide which suits your room before you flip, because you get both.
• They pull differently. Growers put Forbidden Fruit at indica-leaning and settling and Raskal Berries at uplifting from the White Strawberry side, with body weight and resin from Blue Power. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Forbidden Fruit is compact and dense, colouring the way its Cherry Pie side does. Raskal Berries is seventy thirty towards sativa, and a strong producer.
• Before the flip. Decide the shape now. These lines do not tidy themselves up once they are running.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Forbidden Fruit runs nine to ten weeks indoors, Raskal Berries fast - forty-five to fifty-five days. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Forbidden Fruit as indica-leaning and settling.
• The Body. Raskal Berries is reported as uplifting from the White Strawberry side, with body weight and resin from Blue Power, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
