Lemon Meringue by Exotic Genetix

Leafly names Exotic Genetix as the breeder behind the Lemon Meringue this flower is named for, a sativa it says came from Lemon Skunk and Cookies and Cream. AllBud agrees on the two parents and calls the strain sativa dominant, with 70% sativa against 30% indica.

Terpinolene tops the ranking

Terpinolene leads Leafly’s terpene ranking, with caryophyllene and myrcene behind it. The piney, floral terpene has its own page in our terpinolene guide.

Citrus, diesel and a nutty finish

Pungent aromas of citrus, diesel and nuttiness, with a tart slice of lemon meringue pie at the centre, are how Leafly describes it. Its flavour tags are lemon, citrus and nutty, and its reviewers describe a lemony, slightly piney or nutty smell.

The name comes from the lemony flavour, AllBud says, with creamy tastes alongside a focused, long-lasting high; it describes a nutty, fruity flavour with a light, creamy lemon exhale. Its aroma is earthy and spicy with a sweet lemony overtone, turning pungent and skunky when the buds are pulled apart and burned.

Small, airy nuggets and bright green kief

AllBud describes small, airy, minty green nuggets with yellow-orange hairs and a thick blanket of tiny golden-white trichomes. Leafly reviewers describe sticky buds with bright green kief.

Uplifting and focused, by report

Uplifting, invigorating effects with subtle motivational qualities and a pleasant euphoria are what Leafly describes. Its reviewers tag energetic, focused and uplifted most often, and the effects gauge reads energizing. AllBud describes a cerebral onset with focus and creative energy and a long-lasting high; its users pick creative, euphoria, focus and uplifting.
