Tallymon
Banana OG × Do-Si-Dos × Papaya
Tallymon, sometimes spelled Tallymon, is a contemporary hybrid recognized for its dessert-like qualities, tropical fruit aromas, and dense, resinous flowers. It is often grouped with popular fruit-forward and tropical dessert profiles.
Appearance
Tallymon presents visually appealing, frosty buds that are typically lime to forest green, sometimes displaying lavender hues. The flowers are characterized by plump, stacked calyxes and are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a sugar-dusted appearance.
The buds are generally medium-high in density and resist excessive foxtailing when grown under optimal conditions. Properly dried and cured flowers maintain a slightly spongy texture, indicative of good terpene retention.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Tallymon is dominated by tropical notes, featuring ripe banana and papaya, complemented by a confectionary sweetness. Underlying this fruity profile are hints of peppery spice and earthy gas. Some phenotypes may also exhibit subtle floral tones.
The flavor mirrors the aroma, with initial notes of sweet banana cream followed by papaya candy and a peppery, cookie-like finish on the exhale. Grinding the flower intensifies the banana and citrus notes, while vaporization can highlight the creamy banana and citrus, with combustion bringing out the peppery spice.
Effects
Tallymon is noted for providing a calming yet cheerful psychoactive experience. Consumers often describe it as mood-forward, offering a sense of calm.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain typically tests high in THC, with negligible amounts of CBD, catering to users seeking potent effects. Common terpenes found in Tallymon include Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, contributing to its distinct aroma and flavor profile.
Growing
Tallymon is known for its strong trichome production and dense flowers, making it attractive to hashmakers. Breeders have aimed for high resin production combined with a desirable tropical aroma and a plant structure suitable for commercial cultivation.
The strain shows phenotypic diversity, with variations that can emphasize creamy banana, papaya candy, or earthy gas traits. Growers often look for specific phenotypes that exhibit good resin yields and desirable aromatic qualities.
Origins & Lineage
The exact lineage of Tallymon can vary due to different breeders and clone vendors releasing similarly named strains. However, it is commonly understood to be a cross involving a Banana OG lineage, often combined with influences from Do-Si-Dos or Papaya.
This parentage contributes to a profile that blends creamy banana, tropical papaya, and cookie-gas characteristics. The specific genetic contributions can lead to variations in the dominant flavor and aroma profiles among different Tallymon phenotypes.
