Hey Carraxe..
Is the hashish aroma noticeable on your plants in general, cause it sure is in these Magic Herbs' Taskentis?
..now even the less aromatic plant i've mentioned has developed a decent hash aroma.
To me, these Magic Herbs Taskentis look abit different to some of your lines, naturally cause different selection was used.
- Do you have a favourite line (male selection) in mind yet, out of all of your different Taskenti generations?
BTW, This hashish aroma is also all over Reserva Privadas X18 line, on most of the plants i grew anyway.

Aromas are starting to develop more complex on these plants; More perfumey notes developing, one plant has rosey/floral notes too. The Uzbeki hash from the parent stock of these must have been beautiful stuff! Spicey, hashy and parfumey and sweet.
Now that the room temps have dropped abit in Northern Europe as we head to autumn, there are some purple hues on every female. Pretty and frosty plants. I'll try to take some photos later.

Oh...they say they are from northern Afghanistan.
Mature in October or... December...may have narrow leaflets...or wide....maybe 1 meter tall or....4 meters tall.
Lol
10th week of bloom. The plants are seeded.
I see little similarities to your old keeper in few of my plants, Caraxxe. Not the same, but share some phenotypical similarities.
As i wrote earlier, these plants are nicely hashy.
Given these plants don't start growing bananas, this line seems to be good breeding material. The line is relatively stable. But of course there's some phenotypical variation, so it still needs some effort to find the best males/females. Very nice line so far.
I will get rid of two of the females and i will hopefully make seeds with four different females with the other Taskenti male i planed to flower. Small plants again. It could be awhile till i have time to grow my Taskenti keepers as sensimilla, but hopefully soon.
This first phtos is the plant i'm thinking might be my number 1 keeper, but let's see. Very hashy. There's a close second, the most minty one, she's on the the last photo. Then there's the one with the rose/flower notes, this is the plant in the third photo. Photo's abit dark.

I got me a pack.
I really hope its close or near to what i've seen here.
Thanks for the link, im managing pain and this seems to be a magnificent plant for that.
Thanks.
Will let you know how it goes if i'm not spoiling the thread.
Well, I made this thread to join the work I did during the last years with this strain, not to advertise a seedbank I don't ever know that just made Fx of the original seeds without any kind of selection.
I don't think what you got is going to be that similar to what you saw in this thread. As far as I know, mines have the characteristics I've continuously checked on the different generations CBG was selling. They produce more for sure, and after selecting parents I've got very nice seedlings. Have you seen pictures from my keeper, the one I use for seeds? This plant is waaaaaay better than any other Taskenti I've ever tested and grow. It was that good that I had to send it to the Cannabiogen guys a couple of times.
By the way, what kind of selection work Magic Herbs did? Which plants did they use? You'll probably never know.
Cheers

You are right, and thanks for putting things in their appropriate perspective.
I know you don't advertise or want to promote a specific seedbank.
I don't know much about these specific beans, and as you say they might probably have nothing to do with what i've seen in this thread.
But then, such is the situation that 30 eur won't really sink the ship.
Maybe i've wasted my money, but most of my seeds are such crap anyway.
In my upcoming grow i am debating whether an Afghani #1 by sensi or critical + 2.0 by dinafem is going to be better for my arthritis pain.
Most people who know something about cannabis will laugh at the previous sentence, yet this is the predicament i'm in.
I didn't mean to equate your work with any of this, and again what you do i admire, that's why i've read your thread.
I wont spoil it with pictures of something unrelated.
Keep up the goodwork Carraxe.

I wouldn't put a cent on Sensi's gear. Last Afghani #1 from them I had were garbage, irregular, and doped with sativa genes, like anything they sell. Maple Leaf and other like Super Skunk were also shit.
Dinafem is effective for cash cropping, they just make S1 and F1 from different commercial clones with no breeding work, so the results are very vulgar, nothing special there. If you want to try pain, don't use Critical. It is just a commercial hybrid with a turbid effect that won't work better than a pure Indica.
Grow these Taskenti beans you bought, they are probably not bad and they are for sure your best option for pain. And, please, join your results with us.

I grew out a magic herbs male, taskenti. It was tough as nails and took Lol kinds of abuse from my inexperienced grow style, things that should have killed any other plant. I let it go a little long before chop and it xed my Island sweet skunks. I smoked the top of it and it gave me a pleasant warm body buzz that out me off to sleep.
I live in a place with a very wet coastal weather. I usually don't grow indicas outdoors here, but this year I put some Taskenti and Black Domina in the terrace. I don't know if I can avoid bud rotting, but I'll try. I might have to finish them indoors.
Anyway, after a terrible summer with cold waves, and a lot of rain and wind, they don't look bad. They are all over one meter, and although the buds are little due sun lack, they start to look good.
These are some Taskentis:
And this one is a Black Domina just for comparison.
Black Domina will be ready sooner for sure, because they started flowering very early, about the first week of August. I expect to cut them the first week of October. This one keeper of Black Domina is not as squat as it could, but for sure is not stretchy like the "modern" ones, and makes bud all along the stems. Very hard dense bud.
Taskenti will need more time, but the results will be better in quantity and quality of narcotic effect. If I can finish them outdoors.
We'll have to wait a month before having pictures from my indoor Taskentis, but I guess you'll like them.
Cheers

Good to see you have them outdoors, will be interesting for me to know as well.
This one is a F2 from the 2008 seeds. I like very much their wild hashplant bud structure. This is the nicest breeding material, these are the plants that better show that special strong body effect. The taste of the finished bud is strong, harsh, even aggressive.
But not in the usual way the commercial varieties are. Not stinky, but intense. Medicinal. Selvatic. In Uzbekistan these plants were selected for its hash, and were not intended to be smoked like weed.
During the next four weeks the buds will start to swell, but if the weather goes too wet I'll put them indoors to finish. I love to see them bright under the sun.

These Taskenti outdoors have been developing properly these days, but it's been announced a lot of water and bad weather for the next days, so I'll probably place them indoors.
A single cola plant:
And this one split in four:
I guess that if I could enjoy a nice dry southern-spanish weather I'd get real monsters out of that, letting them grow till the second week of october, for example.

This is one of the Black Domina clones I keep outdoors. It is faster than the Taskenti growing side by side, and I think it can be harvested October the 1st. This plant needs dry weather as much as Taskenti, so I'm happy there isn't any sign of Botrytis yet.
The structure is very columnar. At first sight it doesn't appear much, but in a close look we soon notice that it is straight bud from the top to the bottom. Look at these pictures. The plants are made of shiny rounded buds, very characteristic.

Finally I had to place the plants indoors. I hated to turn on the lights, fans, extraction... this shit is noisy and expensive. But it is raining several times a day and these indicas won't stand it. Anyway, it will be just a week.
These plants are two Taskentis that were neglected and kept in just 1l pots. I am impressed that at that point they have produced that much. I believe the best harvest point for Taskentis is around the second week of October, but for what I see these could be taken before.

Indicas make dreams happen
Great looking ladies, do they both (Taskenti and Black Domina) branch out more when given available root and grow space?
Dominas are quite columnar, some of them open some side branches but not always. Taskentis are usually brush-shaped, but there are columnar individuals like these two. I don't think that root space affects branching, but these two were shorter than the others, they were placed in the shadow and probably they made an effort to reach height instead branching.
I usually trim the tops to get a better production and less height, both indoors and outdoors, but these two were quite little and I didn't.
Cheers
New generation of Taskenti. These were made with the selected TT Gz female from 2008 and several males from 2005 and I planted the seeds 5 weeks ago. I'll put them in 1l pots today.
There are quite a lot, 27 iirc, and they look quite healthy with their broad and dark leaves. These will need a lot of work: selecting and cloning all the females before going into flower.
