Taskenti

I always thought that the harshness was from the plant material. Yet, you may be right, some hash has a bite. Maybe, it's a combination, or something else.

I do have a question about the harshness. Has anyone compared vaping to smoking? Or made hash, and tried that? (maybe someone mentioned it in this thread and i missed it, sorry, if i did)

I also wonder about cobbing the Taskenti.
In my experience, vapes and indicas don't combine well. I don't know the reason, but I cough much more when I vape, and the effect isn't as good.

I quit vapes years ago.

I have a desk type box vape (with whip), which i think is far smoother than cartridges. The carts are rough. With the whip, i run a little water in the tube, (but don't get the part with the herb wet), and drain it back out, leaving a coating of moisture, which takes a lot of the 'dry' out of the vapor). Maybe that won't help, but will try it, next chance that i get to grow the taskenti. Thanks, Carraxe.

I've saved the males from the batch of seeds I am flowering. These are the ones made with the 2005 version males and the selected 2008 cut. I'm pollinating the selected females made from the males in the 2012 version to mix the most different lines. If I get a good offspring these seeds will be very valuable for me.

Nice plants, great green colour and well shape, seems some are more tall than others, you have some preference or prefer to select using other traits like smell?


Have a nice day

Today I harvested eleven clones from three different plants, labeled just Taskenti #4, #9 and #12. They were selected from a common batch of seeds sprouted some time ago. I prefer the effect and smell of #9, but #12 offers a bud shape and strength that has no rivals. This time I was patient enough to wait for nine weeks and the results are pretty good. I finally discarded #4 for its irregular behaviour.

These are some good looking #9 and #12. They are very similar to the prototype of a perfect Taskenti from the 2008 batch. The most similar, I would say, in the seeds I've been sprouting lately. The bottle is just for scale.

I believe I've harvested Taskenti enough to float around the green valleys of Uzbekistan for a couple of months.

This is the next bunch of Taskentis that just sprouted. I have already grown some plants from this same batch, they all come from an specific male from the 2012 CBG seeds. I'll do a ultraquick selection: I'll use the males to pollinate some specimens that are further away from this branch of the family. And I'll reveg the most interesting females.

They sprout quite well, considering they are already old.

I've got some selected females from the last batch I made. These are the TT123 #2, #12, #13 and #16. They'll be 8 weeks in some days, and I'll harvest them at 9. In summer I have to drastically scale down the power, so I'm just working with 400W in the tent. Anyway, these plants are solid 125 cm tall, and that's big for an indoor indica but not for Taskenti, but obviously they won't produce as much as in winter.

Also the frozen taskenti pollen I used to pollinate the TT123#7 female (probably the best of the bunch) worked, and these both being the most different branches of the lines I'm working with, I guess I hit an interesting point.

Hi
These are the same selected females from the batch TT2012#3 numbered #12, #13 and #16. I didn't have space to flower them in their best moment, so they got a little big for my taste. Anyway, it is a quite good harvest, having in account the high temperatures, the light power reduction and the spider mites.

I have some more selected cuts from the same batch, and all of them are quite good. I am comparing these females with others coming from different batches, to seek for the best batches, the ones with more genetic diversity and complexity, and I like this one quite a lot.

I've got a big bunch of plants growing, they come from the TT2012#5 batch. In a couple of weeks I'll take cuts of all of them.

Cheers

This crazy one, TT123#7, is probably the best female of the batch. This one made 8 tips and I believe produced quite a lot, and buds are quite hard, even now in summer, with little light and fewer nutrients. It's got some seeds from males from a different batch, and I'll flower another clone of her now, but I'll make an STS sex reversal to her to pollinate other selected females from different batches.

Big things coming. Have a nice summer
