Meringue Feminized Seeds – Dutch Passion’s Ultra-Resinous Wedding Cake x Animal Cookies Hybrid

Meringue by Dutch Passion is a connoisseur-grade feminized cannabis strain that delivers frosty, rock-hard buds dripping in trichomes, born from the legendary cross of Wedding Cake and Animal Cookies.

Struggling with strains that look great but lack punch—or worse, rot before harvest due to dense, moisture-trapping buds?

Weak genetics waste your time, nutrients, and precious grow space, leaving you with mediocre yields, inconsistent effects, or moldy disappointment just weeks before harvest.

Meringue solves this with elite USA genetics engineered for maximum resin production, structural resilience, and a complex terpene profile that evolves beautifully through curing—giving you dense, compact flowers that resist humidity and shine with potency.

Why Meringue outperforms basic hybrids

While average strains prioritize yield over quality, Meringue is bred for connoisseurs who value resin density, terpene complexity, and visual impact. Its unique growth pattern may challenge beginners, but rewards attentive growers with unmatched bag appeal.

• Extreme trichome coverage from week 3 of flower—visible to the naked eye
• Compact bud structure resists bud rot even in moderate humidity
• Terpene profile intensifies during curing, shifting from earthy to candy-sweet
• Consistent high-THC expression across phenotypes (all ≥20%)
• Hybrid vigor ensures strong stems capable of supporting heavy colas

Real benefits you’ll notice

From the first sniff of cured buds to the final hit, Meringue delivers a sensory experience that justifies its elite status. The buds are so dense they feel like stones, yet the smoke is smooth and aromatic—never harsh. You’ll get that instant cerebral lift that melts into full-body calm, perfect for unwinding with music or deep conversation. And because the flowers stay compact, trimming is faster and more satisfying, revealing glistening trichomes that make every gram feel premium.

How to grow Meringue for maximum frost and flavor

1. Germinate carefully: Use SeedBooster Plus germination stimulator for 90%+ success; keep at 24°C (75°F) and high humidity.
2. Transplant early: Move to final 18L pot after 2–3 nodes to avoid root stress.
3. Defoliate aggressively: Remove lower and overlapping fan leaves weekly—those elongated petioles create shade that stunts lower bud development.
4. Use SCROG or LST: Train during veg to create an even canopy; Meringue responds well to gentle bending.
5. Boost resin in late flower: Add Brutal Buds from week 4 to enhance trichome production and terpene expression.
6. Flush and cure properly: Flush 10 days pre-harvest; dry at 20°C (68°F) and 55% RH for 10–14 days, then cure 3+ weeks in jars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Meringue hard to grow?

It’s medium difficulty. The unusual leaf structure demands regular defoliation, but it’s otherwise resilient. Not ideal for absolute beginners, but perfect for growers ready to level up.

Does Meringue need UVB lighting?

Not required, but Dutch Passion’s own trials show UVB supplementation in the last 2 weeks of flower dramatically increases trichome density—worth considering for extract enthusiasts.

What’s the best harvest time?

Most phenotypes peak at 8 weeks, but watch trichomes: milky with 10–20% amber gives the ideal balance of euphoria and relaxation.

Can I grow Meringue outdoors?

Yes, in warm, dry climates with harvest by early October (Northern Hemisphere). Its compact flower structure handles humidity better than many dense hybrids.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown Meringue three times now—once in soil, twice in coco—and it never fails to impress. The first grow, I underestimated how much defoliation it needed; the lower buds stayed small. Lesson learned! On my second run, I stripped fan leaves weekly from week 2 of veg, and the difference was night and day: even canopy, massive colas, and buds so frosty they looked dipped in sugar. I ran it under a Pro Led with UVB for the last 10 days, and the trichome production went berserk. The cured flower smells like orange creamsicle with a spicy kick—smoother than Wedding Cake, more complex than Animal Cookies. Yield-wise, I got 420 g/m², but the real win was the quality: every nug was a showpiece. If you’re chasing bag appeal and potency over sheer volume, Meringue is your strain. Just don’t skip the defoliation!
