Cannabis seeds Meringue® from Dutch Passion

Meringue® by Dutch Passion—a premium hybrid with the aroma of a fruit dessert and record-breaking resin production

Meringue® is a feminized photoperiod strain from Dutch Passion, developed from elite American genetics: Wedding Cake × Animal Cookies. This hybrid, with a nearly equal Indica-Sativa ratio (50/50), quickly gained popularity thanks to its incredible resin production, rich dessert-like terpene profile, and high cannabinoid concentration. Meringue® combines a powerful high, striking appearance, and top-notch yield quality that will be appreciated by both collectors and experienced connoisseurs of modern genetics.

Meringue® Genetics — The Best American Strains in One Variety

The variety is based on two iconic American hybrids.

Wedding Cake (Pink Cookies) passed on a rich, sweet aroma with notes of baked goods, cream, fruit, and spices, as well as high THC potential and a pronounced relaxing effect.

Animal Cookies, descended from the legendary GSC and Fire OG, added a compact plant structure, extremely dense buds, dark bud color, a massive amount of resin, and a powerful physical high.

It is thanks to this combination that Meringue® has acquired its key qualities:

• a rich, sweet, and spicy fruity aroma;

• dense, heavy buds with dark hues;

• a thick layer of sticky trichomes;

• a high THC concentration;

• a powerful, long-lasting effect.

Aroma and Flavor

The main feature of Meringue® is its exceptionally complex terpene profile.

During flowering, the plants fill the room with a rich, sweet aroma that blends notes of:

• ripe orange;

• mango;

• honey;

• tropical fruits;

• creamy pastries;

• damp earth;

• a light citrus tang;

• spicy notes.

After drying, the aroma becomes even deeper and takes on a characteristic “pastry-like” richness. The smoke is smooth, barely irritating the throat, and the flavor lingers on the taste buds, combining the sweetness of a creamy dessert with fruity tartness and a spicy aftertaste.

It is precisely because of its rich flavor that Meringue® is considered one of the most aromatic strains in the Dutch Passion lineup.

Plant Appearance

Meringue® plants are compact and have a neat structure.

During the vegetative stage, the plant grows relatively slowly, but later begins to actively develop side branches. The leaves have long petioles and curve slightly upward, so it is sometimes recommended to stake them to improve light exposure for the lower buds.

During flowering, the plant looks very decorative:

• the internodes remain relatively short;

• the branches are very sturdy;

• the buds form densely and compactly;

• many phenotypes take on dark green or purple hues;

• the entire surface of the buds is literally covered with a thick, snow-white layer of trichomes.

The contrast between the dark color of the flowers and the bright white resin makes the harvest particularly visually appealing.

Flowering and Cultivation

Meringue® is a fairly undemanding strain, although certain growth characteristics require attention.

The plants thrive best after 4–6 weeks of vegetative growth, after which they quickly transition to forming large, resinous buds.

The flowering period lasts about 8 weeks, and the full growing cycle typically takes 12–14 weeks.

As early as 3–4 weeks into flowering, the buds begin to become heavily coated with resin, and by about the sixth week, numerous orange pistils appear, signaling imminent ripening.

This strain responds exceptionally well to:

• SOG;

• ScrOG;

• moderate defoliation;

• high-quality LED lighting;

• the use of the UV spectrum during the final weeks of flowering, which promotes further trichome development.

Thanks to its good resilience, Meringue® is suitable for both experienced growers and beginners who have already mastered basic growing techniques.

Yield

Although Meringue® doesn’t set absolute records for yield volume, its quality more than makes up for it.

Average yields are:

• 400–500 g/m² indoors;

• 500–600 g per plant outdoors.

The main value of the harvest lies in the incredible density of the buds. Even relatively small buds are very heavy due to their rock-hard structure. Virtually every bud is completely covered with a thick layer of resin, making this strain particularly attractive for producing concentrates and extracts.

Effect

Meringue® is one of the most potent modern hybrids.

Its THC content typically ranges from 23% to 26%, and certain phenotypes can exhibit even higher levels. At the same time, it contains small amounts of CBD (about 0.47%) and CBG (up to 1.68%), which makes the effect more complex.

The initial sensations set in quickly and are accompanied by:

• a noticeable improvement in mood;

• a feeling of happiness and inner lightness;

• a creative surge;

• pleasant social openness.

Gradually, the euphoric wave gives way to deep physical relaxation. Muscles feel heavy, tension melts away, and the body seems to sink into a state of complete comfort. At higher dosages, the effect takes on a pronounced Indica character, inducing drowsiness and a desire to spend the rest of the evening relaxing on the couch.

This is precisely why Meringue® is most often recommended for evening relaxation, unwinding after a busy day, or quiet leisure time at home.
