Taskenti
- Thread starter Carraxe
- Start date
I wouldn't grow a dense and productive indica hashplant in a wet weather, but I didn't have problems with the few I've grown here (43ºN, wet Atlantic weather)
I've pollinated a hybrid kush with these males. This female I pollinated is a productive plant, strong in effect and in taste, not an easy one. I've made several crosses with Taskenti and all of them were way worse than the original. Let's see that one and hope for the best.

The guys in the seedbank (specifically Kaiki) told several times that the first step in creating the strain was to cross it with a NL to create genetic diversity and strength and then they started selecting back to the hashplant feno. So you have seeds of something different to the Taskenti strain they made, then these seeds could be from the strain from Uzbekistan they used.
What do you mean with "updated" seeds?
Have you grown these seeds? Are they still OK? The best generation in their strain was in 2008, seeds from long before would be difficult to sprout. It would be nice to know how they are. I've grown several generations of their strain and some of them were very wild. I didn't find the faintest NL in any of them
Please keep us informed, and don't wait to grow them!
If these seeds you have come from a local strain from before Kaiki made the Taskenti strain, maybe "Taskenti" isn't the most precise label for the strain. Do you plan to grow these seeds again? Are there pictures from your grow? How they were in effect and flavor?
I wouldn't say it is an old strain, its production and strength make it a very modern strain from my point of view. Much better than any indica landrace I know. Anyway it would be nice if you gave them a go. I keep growing plants from the old repros (Taskenti 2005, 2013...) but last month I couldn't sprout any from the 2008 F2. They are too old.
Don't let your special strains to get old and dry
Thanks for your opinion. I've crossed her with different indicas to keep the effect, and I've found some nice crosses, but none as good as the original plant. I keep crossing and testing.
Some years ago I pollinated my Jack Herer with some Taskenti pollen. Some weeks ago I found the seeds in the fridge and planted them, so I have now some plants growing. I think they'll be ready to flower in about a month. I don't expect much, but I'm curious about the smells and tastes of these flowers. Let's see what happens. This is the only cross I made with a sativa, but I believe that there can be some interest in these crosses
thats interesting, as I wonder why cannabiogen didnt make some crosses with it, as it was their indica flagship for years.. they made crosses with pck, peyote or deep chunk. but no cross with taskenti or am I wrong?
with jack it sound interesting, good luck and let us know the results.

I believe you are right, they didn't sell any crosses made with Taskenti, but I bet they made a lot and after testing they were discarded. Nothing compares to the original
This is the lower part of the female I pollinated with the Taskenti males more than seven weeks ago. I believe the seeds are fully mature, so I harvested her this morning. This female comes from a quite strong and resinous kush plant I selected from a wide Dinafem seeds run and I believe there can be a nice match with the Taskenti, because this one's got a quite strong taste and smell. Let's see about the effect, I'll try to plant them as soon as possible, but it can take a couple of months for the seeds to be ready.

That's the 2nd time in one day I've read about DF lemon Thai from two different sources. I must have missed the boat on this one at the time
I crossed it to skunk VA chem 91, I reckon it rock your boat. Everyone who smokes it, goes to sleep like they've just been anaesthetised
