Lemon Meringue Strain Genetics
Is Lemon Meringue strain an indica or sativa?
Exotic Genetix created this 70/30 sativa-dominant hybrid by crossing strains Lemon Skunk and Cookies N Cream.
Lemon Skunk was actually spawned from two separate phenotypes of Skunk that displayed the essence of lemons. This energetic strain produces a happy experience and has helped spawn many other child-strains, including Lemon Haze, Super Lemon Haze, and Lemon Cake.
Cookies N Cream was also a product of Exotic Genetix with a GSC-derived heritage. Its long-lasting experience has won awards and it has also been used to spawn new strains like Grease Monkey and Extreme Cream, which also comes from Exotic Genetix.
Lemon Meringue strain can be found in feminized seed form as its true form and an autoflowering variety. The original form will have a full growing season while the autoflowering variety has a set duration of life.
It flowers out after a given amount of time to produce much shorter growing seasons while still providing the same essence and effect of the original strain.
Lemon Meringue has been used to parent a few child-strains of its own as well, including Twang Twins and Double Lemon Pie.
Twang Twins results from crossing Lemon Meringue with Mango Kush and is known to be an awesome pot strain for producing concentrates.
Double Lemon Pie comes to us from Dark Horse Genetics and is Lemon Meringue Pie crossed with Joe’s Lemonade. This sweet and sour citrus strain is also touted for its affinity for concentrates.
Lemon Meringue Strain Yield
Molds, pests, and disease are not common when growing Lemon Meringue, making it a great choice for new growers to experiment with.
This sativa-dominant hybrid is known to 7 feet tall, or higher, given the chance. While it can grow indoors, it needs training, topping, and pruning to ensure you don’t run out of vertical space.
Lemon Meringue can be a great producer. Yields are known to reach around 3 ounces per square foot of plant. Knowing that these plants reach impressive heights, the yields per plant will be quite high. A win-win for beginning growers!
Flowering Time
Lemon Meringue Pie will need 8-9 weeks to mature her flowers to peak potency and pungency. This means that outdoor growers should be harvesting in early October.
Letting them mature too long will lead to degradation of THC levels and the terpene profile. A 50/50 mixture of milky-white and amber trichomes is the typical goal for most growers.
The buds are a bit airy and mint green in color. The golden-orange hairs run along with the buds as the blanket of glistening trichomes sparkle below.
Lemon Meringue Strain THC Percentage
Lemon Meringue has been tested all over the place, with THC ranging from 18-28%. Most batches will hover around the low 20s on average.
A useful tidbit of information is that this strain is also higher in CBG, or cannabigerol, than most other cannabis strains. The experience is quite energizing, although sometimes consuming too much will turn that energy into a nap.
It’s typically a great daytime strain, even when used for wake and bake sessions.
The high takes a few minutes to kick in but it can last for hours. The experience is quite energizing, as is known to boost motivation, creativity, and mood.
Many people use it as a pick-me-up to perform physical activity or as a focus-booster. Others like to consume Lemon Meringue while practicing their favorite hobbies.
Consume too much and the THC will take your energy away and turn the experience into an afternoon nap!
Lemon Meringue Strain Flavor & Aroma
The aroma is a mixture of earthy spice and sweet lemon, although the skunk pungency becomes apparent when breaking down the buds and combusting them.
The flavor is a nice mix of fruit and nuttiness, with the best phenotypes producing the creamy lemon exhale that blesses your tastebuds and reminds you of a fresh slice of lemon meringue pie.
This strain has a few different phenotypes that portray different terpene profiles. It is known to be rich in Terpinolene, Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Limonene, and Linalool. Each phenotype will be dominant with a blend of a few of these.
Terpinolene has uplifting effects when consumed and dominates energetic strains like Jack Herer and Ghost Train Haze strain.
Caryophyllene helps fight inflammation and is abundant in strains like GSC and GG4.
Myrcene helps consumers relax and dominates strains like OG Kush and Blue Dream.
Limonene fights against stress and anxiety and is found in citrusy strains like Strawberry Banana and Wedding Cake.
