Lemon Meringue OG
Also known as: Lemon Meringue, Lemon Meringue Kush
Lemon Meringue OG Strain Overview
Lemon Meringue OG is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeders at DNA Genetics in collaboration with Reserva Privada. This strain was created by crossing Lemon Skunk with a selected phenotype of the classic OG Kush, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best traits of both parent strains. The strain first gained popularity in the early 2010s and has since become a favorite among connoisseurs for its unique flavor profile and well-rounded effects.
Visually, Lemon Meringue OG features dense, conical buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures. The strain is characterized by a generous coating of trichomes that give the buds a frosty appearance, along with bright orange pistils that weave through the dense flower structure. The buds are often described as having a sticky, resinous texture that makes them ideal for extraction purposes.
Notable features of Lemon Meringue OG include its exceptionally strong citrus aroma that closely resembles freshly baked lemon meringue pie, complete with sweet, creamy undertones. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors and produces moderate to high yields. While primarily known as an indoor strain, it can also be cultivated outdoors in Mediterranean climates, where it usually finishes flowering by mid to late October.

Lemon Meringue OG Strain Growing Information
Lemon Meringue OG is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in Northern Hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant exhibits a medium height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. It prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plant develops its signature terpene profile.
