Forbidden Fruit x Spritzer is the exotic one in the Spritzer family. Candies Seed Co paired Forbidden Fruit, a strain famous for its deep cherry and tangerine character, with Spritzer’s lively fruit and candy profile. The breeder’s own summary is simple: rich cherry up front, bright citrus underneath, with presence from the start.
This drop belongs to the Candies Seed Co Collector Series VOL.1, a set of limited collections each built around one named parent. The Spritzer line, nicknamed Fizzy Fruit Terps, matches five guest strains with the same Spritzer partner. Forbidden Fruit is the guest that steers the family toward dark, ripe stone fruit.
Forbidden Fruit is reported as Cherry Pie x Tangie, and Spritzer as Runtz x (Grape Pie x MAC). Put together, that is a stack of fruit-first American genetics: cherry from one side, citrus from Tangie, grape and candy from Spritzer’s Runtz and Grape Pie background.
Every pack contains 5 feminized photoperiod seeds. The breeder lists a flowering time of 8-9 weeks and a medium yield rating, so this one fits comfortably into a standard indoor cycle. As with any collector release, expect some variation between phenotypes, from cherry-dominant plants to ones that lean harder into citrus.
Flavor, Effects, and Exotic Character
The breeder’s terpene tag is cherry and citrus. On the nose, look for ripe dark cherry first, followed by a zesty tangerine-grapefruit layer that the Tangie and Spritzer sides both reinforce. Some phenotypes may carry a hint of tropical fruit or pine, both traits Forbidden Fruit is known for.
Candies Seed Co describes it as flavor-led but still grounded. That balance is what sets it apart: the fruit is loud and expressive, yet the finish has enough depth that it never reads as a simple sweet strain. It is a natural fit for growers who chase terpene-rich fruit cultivars with personality.
Potency is rated High by the breeder. The product page suggests an easy afternoon appeal, while the quick stats point to the evening, so it is fair to treat it as an afternoon-into-evening option. Experience will vary by phenotype, cure and tolerance.
Opening a cured jar should feel like cracking a bowl of black cherries next to a freshly peeled tangerine: rich, juicy and a little bit mysterious.
