Taskenti

[Ca++]

I have to do it..

Running up the wet painted slide
Assault courses being chased by ninjas, trying to knock you off
Human skittles
The honeycomb maze, where each cell has 6 doors, with the snowman? to collect from the middle, while two henchmen chase you to chuck you out. One way in, one out, with lots of doors into the drink.

1986-1990 (and back in 2023 sometime)


Just watching the tug of war, where the ropes go between saloon doors, so you don't see your opponent. Stood in the mud, a guy nearly lost to 3 6yo girls lol While another contestants giving it her all, with the hidden guy just holding the rope with one hand. Another opponent was a scooter lol

It was rather niche viewing in the UK. In the days when all the channels stopped late at night, it was about the last thing on. Just before the black screen and monotonous bleeeeee.... that made you wake in your chair, and go to bed. Or stick it out till 'programming resumed' with the 6am news, and viewing for babies, who's mothers really wanted another hour.


And now, back to Taskenti

As far as I know, this Uzbek weed doesn't mix well with Afghans and Pakis, that are the most universal hashplants. It loses its uniqueness and the special high becomes the standard Indica high.

Interesting. I always viewed the original SS as unique too, a complex high that starts cerebral then shifts into a heavy narcotic stone. Similar to a good Romulan. There has to be a good companion for her

Or maybe an equally medicinal plant like a bubba kush or herijuana

Maybe you are right. I hope so! The only way to know is to make that cross and test it.

I am a little pessimistic because I could't find yet anything so good, and every cross I make with these genetics is worse than the original Taskenti

 

[Nannymouse]

What have you crossed Taskenti with? Any sativa?

Good question, it would be good to know what he has crossed ot too to know what hasn't worked. I crossed it to a chem 91 skunk VA once but haven't got around to testing the progeny. Both strains always put me to sleep

 

[Carraxe]

Yes, I made crosses with sativas. But I want the special high they've got for themselves, I don't look for anything else.

 

[exoticrobotic]

Great to see you carrying the baton for Taskenti and its crosses Carraxe.

I have quite a few Taskenti x thh seeds in the fridge.

It was an excellent cross, retaining the sparkly cerebral calmness of Taskenti but injecting some omg wow moments from the haze. It had that ancient feeling to it like good weed should.

52 days. I'm giving them nothing but water, because I'll harvest them in some days. The abnormal high temperatures of these days have taken a toll on them and many leaves have fallen or died, but anyway the buds are hard and resinous and they will be fine.

Sweet smokes

 

[need4weed]

@Carraxe they still look great, pumping the resin out big time

 

[Carraxe]

Some days after 8 weeks, I'm harvesting some specimens. These two, TT9 and TT12, come from the last selection I made a couple of months ago. 8 weeks is not bad, but I'd like to have the patience to wait for another week, since one of them, TT9, could get fatter, and stronger. The other one, the first in the pictures, seems done. Not much odor, as expected in this strain, but a nice resin coat and dense buds. As I have already smoked them, I can say that they are the ultimate indica effect I look for.

Now I aim for the best grow conditions for these cuts.

Sweet smokes

Great work @Carraxe spectacular resin level and very productive

 

[Carraxe]

I've just harvested some Taskentis. I made these crossing the mother selected from 2008 CBG seeds and the #3 male from the 2012 version. The 2012 version was a step back in the selfcrossing the CBG guys were doing the years before, which drove them to the genetic problems, so they are more untamed and better for the kind of work I am doing than the previous versions. And so they look: big, productive and strong, in a mechanical way.

They are at 60 days, under LEDs. Taskenti is not fast, but it is worth it.

I don't have cuts of all them (they are more than a dozen) but I have for most, so next step will be to test and select the best ones.

Pictures aren't very good, and I couldn't find something for scale (next time I'll try to put a banana or something) but I hope you will forgive me.

Nice smokes!

 

[The Swede]

Wow, you got some crazy skills bro.

 

[exoticrobotic]

Nice plants.

I recognise the Taskentis i grew in your plants although the buds on yours are larger.

Do you get other smells in your more raw version than the minty kushy smells in the old cbg one?

The strongest smells and tastes, specially the superstrong earth flavor I love, were more frequently found in the newer ones. But since everything is mixed now, I will have to wait some weeks and test. I'll tell about them

 

[ankhori]

Beutiful grow @Carraxe !

Very nice green color in the leaf and absolute top resin level

Enjoy it! un abrazo

 

[Carraxe]

I've been curing the Taskentis for a month. Now it is the time to test them. I have already made a preselection and I decided to keep these:

-TT2012-3 #2
-TT2012-3 #7
-TT2012-3 #12
-TT2012-3 #13
-TT2012-3 #16

All of them are closer to the 2012 batch than they are to their mother, the selected cut from 2008, and also they look better. It means the male from 2012 dominated this incross. The smells are not as strong as in the 2008 cut, but they are stronger than they were in the original 2012 batch, if I remember correctly.

Some of the plants, #2 and #12, have a nice eucalyptus anise flavor, but #12 is got some mushroom scent also. #7 and #16 are stronger in flavor and have a petroleum background that makes the mix deeper.

Right now I want to keep all them, and I'll do for a while. It is possible that I cross the 5 different females to some males I am actually growing from seeds from the 2005 batch and the selected 2008 cut.

Cheers

I'm suprised this strain don't get more love, particularly because of the effects and shear potency

I think that this strain didn't have a strong commercial campaign, (it was one of the traits of this very special CBG seedbank) and many people preferred the well published OGs and Chems that were common in their times. Also, I believe that get Spanish seeds twenty years ago wasn't as easy as today, outside Spain.

Anyway Kaiki won the "best breeder" award hold some years ago in this same forum, with very obvious reasons, including this weed. He is no doubt a great breeder with some of the most exquisite and special herbs I've found.

I still am an unconditional lover of Taskenti, after all these years.
