Wedding cake x Forbidden Fruit brings Wedding Cake together with Forbidden Fruit. The first is Triangle Kush over Animal Mints, with real Florida OG stock hiding under the frosting; the second, the Cherry Pie and Tangie cross that is all about the fruit. Two lines that were never going to produce a quiet plant. What CSI sell is access to their clone collection in seed form. The parents are the cuts themselves, not a line bred to resemble them.

Written this way, Wedding Cake 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: Wedding Cake. Triangle Kush over Animal Mints, with real Florida OG stock hiding under the frosting. Built from Triangle Kush x Animal Mints. Rated an easy plant for beginners and experienced growers alike.
• Father: Forbidden Fruit. The Cherry Pie and Tangie cross that is all about the fruit. It traces back to Cherry Pie x Tangie. Rated an easy grow that does not need constant attention.
• The point of the pairing. Neither parent needed rescuing. Putting them together is about what sits between them, not about fixing either one.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

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

• The Aroma. Vanilla cake over creamy earth with pepper and spice cutting through from the Wedding Cake side, against tropical citrus over dark cherry from the Forbidden Fruit side.
• The Taste. Vanilla and cream turning distinctly tangier on the exhale up front, turning to passionfruit and cherry with a citrus lift through the exhale.

The two halves, side by side

• They are not on the same clock. Wedding Cake runs seven to nine weeks indoors; Forbidden Fruit runs nine to ten weeks indoors. Across a pack that gap shows up as plants finishing days or weeks apart.
• Two noses, one pack. Wedding Cake contributes sweet vanilla cake over creamy earth with pepper and spice. Forbidden Fruit contributes dark cherry and bright orange citrus. Which dominates is the main thing that varies.
• Build. On the Wedding Cake side: short and bushy with minimal stretch and heavy lateral branching that needs support once flowers fill; dense chunky buds, dark to light green with occasional purple. 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. Wedding Cake is reported as indica-leaning and even; relaxed; 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. Wedding Cake is short and bushy with minimal stretch and heavy lateral branching that needs support once flowers fill; dense chunky buds, dark to light green with occasional purple. Forbidden Fruit is compact, with the colour and density of its Cherry Pie side.
• 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. Wedding Cake runs seven to nine weeks indoors, 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 Wedding Cake as indica-leaning and even; relaxed.
• The Body. Forbidden Fruit is reported as indica-leaning and settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Nearly everything CSI put out is built from cuts they hold themselves rather than from other people's seed lines, which is why their catalogue reads like a list of clones instead of a list of brands. Humboldt CSI original genetics.
