Hot Tamalez
Also known as: Hot Tamales
Hot Tamalez Strain Overview
Hot Tamalez is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that has gained popularity for its unique flavor profile and potent effects. The strain was created by crossing the well-known Gelato #41 with a selected phenotype of the exotic strain Mint Chocolate Chip. This combination results in a plant that inherits Gelato's dense, resinous buds and Mint Chocolate Chip's distinctive terpene profile, creating a strain that stands out in both appearance and sensory experience.
The strain's name reflects its most notable characteristic: a spicy, cinnamon-like flavor that resembles the popular candy, combined with sweet and creamy undertones. Hot Tamalez typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and frosty with trichomes, displaying shades of deep green with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Hot Tamalez has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's genetics provide a combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation that many users find versatile for different times of day. Its relatively recent development means that information about this strain continues to evolve as more growers and consumers experience it.

Hot Tamalez Strain Growing Information
Hot Tamalez is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate to advanced growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants tend to stay at a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training. Hot Tamalez benefits from techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but require good air circulation and humidity control during flowering to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are average, though the strain responds well to bloom boosters during the flowering phase.
