What is the Lemon Meringue strain?
Lemon Meringue is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.
Lemon Meringue is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) developed by renowned breeder Exotic Genetix through the careful crossbreeding of Lemon Skunk and Cookies and Cream. The history of Lemon Meringue traces back to its development by Exotic Genetix, marking a notable milestone in modern cannabis breeding with its unique lineage and flavor profile. The Lemon Skunk parent was spawned from two separate phenotypes of Skunk that displayed the essence of lemons, and this energetic strain produces a happy experience and has helped spawn many other child-strains, including Lemon Haze, Super Lemon Haze, and Lemon Cake.
Lemon Meringue buds are distinguished by medium to large flowers that maintain a chunky and roughly spherical shape with solid, dense internal structure. The leaves are bright yellowish green and punctuated by several curly yellow pistils, with a high concentration of resinous trichomes making these flowers very sticky and giving them a pale, slightly dewy appearance. This sativa-dominant hybrid is known to grow 7 feet tall, or higher, given the chance, making it a great producer with yields known to reach around 3 ounces per square foot of plant.
According to the online cannabis seed retailer Seeds Here Now, the breeder has retired the strain, and it is not readily available in seed or clone form. Lemon Meringue's unique genetics, energizing effects, and ease of cultivation have made it a standout in the cannabis market.
