Triangle Kush x Forbidden Fruit puts Triangle Kush over Forbidden Fruit. One is the Florida clone a lot of people credit with starting the OG line, named for the Jacksonville-Miami-Tampa triangle; the other is the Cherry Pie and Tangie cross that is all about the fruit. Two very different plants, and the point of the cross is what sits between them. CSI breed off held clones rather than off seed stock, which is why the parents named on the pack are the actual plants and not their descendants.

Written this way, Triangle Kush is the mother and Forbidden Fruit the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Triangle Kush. The Florida cut that sits at the root of the OG family and has fathered more of the modern index than almost anything else. Lighter on the pine and cleaner-fluid terpenes than its reputation suggests, which is why breeders pair it with louder cuts; Humboldt CSI's 5150 is their pick out of a large Triangle Kush S1 population.
• Father: Forbidden Fruit. Cherry Pie crossed to Tangie - dark cherry against bright citrus. Given as Cherry Pie x Tangie. Rated an easy grow that does not need constant attention.
• How to read it. Everything below splits into what one parent gives and what the other does. Plants that take from both are the ones to keep.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Neither parent is subtle, and the cross has nowhere quiet to go.

• The Aroma. Restrained OG earth and pine rather than the loud cleaner-fluid nose the name implies from the Triangle Kush side, against dark cherry and bright orange citrus from the Forbidden Fruit side.
• The Taste. Pine and earth with OG weight, cleaning up late up front, turning to cherry and passionfruit with citrus over the top through the exhale.

What each side brings

• They are not on the same clock. Triangle Kush runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy; Forbidden Fruit runs nine to ten weeks indoors. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• The smell is a negotiation. Classic og earth and pine, noticeably restrained rather than loud on one side against dark cherry and bright orange citrus on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Build. On the Triangle Kush side: stocky and bushy at moderate indoor height, up to two metres outdoors; vegs vigorously and throws heavy foliage; takes trimming, defoliation and lollipopping well; dense bright green flower under heavy resin. On the Forbidden Fruit side: compact at eighty to a hundred and twenty centimetres indoors. Select early rather than trying to train your way out of it.
• Opposite ends. Triangle Kush is reported as the potent, focused end of the OG family; Forbidden Fruit as indica-leaning and settling. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Triangle Kush is stocky and bushy at moderate indoor height, up to two metres outdoors; vegs vigorously and throws heavy foliage; takes trimming, defoliation and lollipopping well; dense bright green flower under heavy resin. Forbidden Fruit is compact and dense, colouring the way its Cherry Pie side does.
• Training. Worth the effort early - it is the difference between an even canopy and three colas and a lot of leaf.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Triangle Kush runs eight to nine weeks, reported sixty-three to seventy-seven days with most growers near seventy, Forbidden Fruit nine to ten weeks indoors. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Triangle Kush as the potent, focused end of the OG family.
• The Body. Forbidden Fruit is reported as indica-leaning and settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Humboldt CSI are preservationists before they are breeders - most of what they release is a clone somebody has kept alive by hand for years, put into seed so it stops depending on one grower staying in the game. That is what you are buying into here. Sold as authentic Humboldt CSI.
