Hi Carraxe,

do you have any experience with the taskenti/uzbeki line from CSI Humbold? I think you mentioned the effekts get easily lost in the F-generations... I look for an heavy strong primal indica and taskenti was always interesting for me, also shirin gol is in consideration for me. Maybe you can lead me in some direction where to look for genetics with simillar effects than the tashkenti.

Thank you very much
✌️

I would also like to know about anything with similar effects! But this effect is, to me, unique, and I haven't found anything comparable. There are very potent hybrids and indicas, but no one of them carries this different high.

This week I STSd one of the best Taskenti specimens I've selected, with the objective of starting a new dynasty of incrosses and outcrosses. This fact will initiate a line of work that will take most of my work time with pure indicas for years.

If I get this first feminisation right, I'll get a lot of info about how this strain behaves in its crosses, but in my experience, outcrosses between Taskentis and selected Afghans and Pakis are worse than the original weed.

I have several selected Taskentis from different families, and also different keepers from different pure Indica strains to cross to my feminised Taskentis.

I hate STSing plants, but working with feminised seeds will help a lot when selecting for these F1 specimens that deserve a further look.

Sweet smokes

Taskenti is slower than the fastest indica strains. Here we can see the Taskenti outdoors side to side with a Matanuska (that I find to be a good example of a paki or afghan stinky indica selected indoors by its speed)

First picture: Taskenti #9 at the left side, and Matanuska at the right. The Taskenti didn't even show any flower until some days ago, and the Matanuska has already outumn colours. It isn't even September yet!

This one picture down is the Taskenti. It is the same clone I'm impregnating now with the Taskenti female I'm STSing

And this one is the Matanuska. This one will be ready well before October, while the Taskenti will need to get to there.

I've been looking into the flowers of the STSed female TT123#7, and I was happy to see that it already had some mature flowers. Even better, they had already produced some pollen. At just 4 weeks since STS.

I know this pollen could be sterile, but I find this a good omen. This selected plant looks like very full of life and doesn't show symptoms of a limited gene pool.

Several plants labelled TT9, premium clones from a plant selected from another batch, have been flowering for about two weeks. In some days I'll try the pollination. This could be a step in my work and also the first legit feminized pollination between two selected Taskenti females in years.

I made some hybrids and ix'd taskenti some years back. My first pop of the seeds indicates further exploration may be warranted. Sherbet x taskenti 3 seeds popped.

These plants of yours look more like Sherbet than Taskenti. I used to think that Taskenti was pretty dominant but, I guess, it isn't as dominant I thought

The original sherbet clone tends to dominate ime. That said, there is some strong taskenti traits in the resin of 2 of 3 just added purple and improved bud development.

I often thought of taskenti as a good but unrefined indica. Somewhat loose bud structure with soft terpenes. It's great positive was the ability to soften nerve pain without making you stupid. I'm hoping to go through some pure stock soon to find a warm fuzzy one but hopefully these give some of that experience. Will know soon.

I've enjoyed watching your focused efforts with taskenti and sativas over the years. It takes dedication to stick with lines long-term for personal refinement.

I think we had different experiences with Taskenti, the flavor in the plants I grow is one of the most hard and intense of all cannabis. It is even a little difficult to smoke because this superstrong earthy flavor and makes cough more than other strains. I don't know what you mean by soft terpenes, but these are definitely not soft.

I think what you mean about the terpenes is that this weed doesn't reek like modern hybrids. The smell on the buds is very natural and pleasant, not like the volatile skunky ones that dissapear quickly. I find this to be a nice feature, but I understand that other people have different likes.

I've just taken these pictures of an 8 weeker TT123#16. Flavor is intense and buds are really hard, but I found better plants for breeding, so I discarded this one.
