Wedding Cake × Animal Cookies
Lemon Meringue Kush #6 is a phenotype-selected hybrid recognized for its distinct confectionary citrus aroma and a solid Kush foundation. This strain typically exhibits high THC levels and is sought after for its appealing bud structure and intense terpene profile.
Appearance
The flowers of Lemon Meringue Kush #6 are generally dense, forming compact colas with tightly stacked calyxes, a characteristic often seen in Kush and Cookies genetics. Buds tend to be shaped like golf balls or torpedoes, with a frosted appearance due to heavy trichome coverage. Coloration can range from green to deep purples, often accented by orange pistils.
The plant exhibits a hybrid growth structure with a strong main stem and good lateral branching, responding well to training techniques. Its leaves are typically smaller and resin-packed, contributing to the overall bag appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is dominated by a sweet, dessert-like citrus profile, reminiscent of lemon zest and meringue, layered over a creamy sweetness. Underlying notes of earth and spice, common in Kush strains, provide depth. As the buds are broken apart, hints of vanilla and pastry may emerge.
On the palate, the flavor mirrors the aroma, starting with bright lemon candy and vanilla cream, followed by a subtle sourness. The exhale introduces a light peppery and earthy finish, characteristic of certain Kush-derived terpenes.
