Lemon Merengue
Also known as: Lemon Meringue
Lemon Merengue Strain Overview
Lemon Merengue is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Symbiotic Genetics, known for its distinctive citrus profile and well-rounded effects. The strain was created by crossing Lemon Skunk with Cookies and Cream, combining the zesty terpene profile of the former with the creamy, dessert-like qualities of the latter. First introduced to the market in the mid-2010s, Lemon Merengue has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its reliable effects and appealing flavor.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, adding visual contrast. The most notable characteristic is its potent aroma, which immediately releases sharp lemon and citrus notes upon breaking apart the buds, followed by subtle undertones of cream and vanilla.
Lemon Merengue is considered a versatile strain that provides a balanced experience suitable for various times of day. The effects begin with an uplifting cerebral onset that gradually transitions into a gentle body relaxation without causing excessive sedation. This makes it particularly appealing to users seeking functional relief without complete incapacitation. The strain's consistent performance and appealing sensory profile have made it a favorite among those who appreciate citrus-forward varieties with complex flavor development.

Lemon Merengue Strain Growing Information
Lemon Merengue is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to a medium height, making them suitable for spaces with limited vertical clearance. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support resin production.
