Krome Tamale
Also known as: Krome Tamale OG
Krome Tamale Strain Overview
Krome Tamale is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, particularly associated with California breeders. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it is believed to have been developed through selective breeding of OG Kush genetics with other indica-dominant varieties. The name references both its creator (Krome) and its distinctive flavor profile that some users describe as having spicy, savory notes reminiscent of tamales.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a classic OG structure, featuring dark green leaves with occasional purple hues and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The buds are typically compact and resinous, with orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. Krome Tamale is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, fuel-like notes with subtle spicy and herbal undertones.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Krome Tamale has maintained a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain's rarity means that consistent information about its characteristics can be difficult to verify, and phenotypes may vary between different growers and batches.
