Krome Tamale
Krome Tamale is a modern hybrid strain derived from the genetics of StarFighter. This variety has demonstrated a stable growth pattern, requiring a 63-day flowering period to reach maturity. It is considered of moderate difficulty to cultivate and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, consistently providing high yields for the grower.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Krome Tamale is characterized by a specific terpene arrangement starting with dominant myrcene, followed by caryophyllene, and rounded out by limonene. This combination shapes the chemical composition of the plant, influencing its sensory nuances through the interaction of these three primary compounds.
Regarding its cannabinoid profile, Krome Tamale is THC-dominant and is primarily utilized by those seeking to manage stress, alleviate pain, or improve sleep quality. Consumers typically report effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. The genetic legacy of this strain is evidenced by its role as a parent to noticeable offspring, most notably Purple Gypsy.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
