Taskenti
- Thread starter Carraxe
- Start date
I've put the three males I selected (I discarded one) in a tent with the half a dozen plants I want to pollinate, in a separate room of my main grow. I don't want any of this pollen to travel anywhere else, but I'm sure the separated spaces and carbon filters will prevent unwanted pollinations.
Today I saw the first open male flowers and I used it over some young buds. To guarantee all the males are used to pollinate, and not just the fastest, I'll get rid of the fastest one in a couple of days. Then the other ones, that are a little slower, will have their chance.
In a couple of weeks all the three pollen donors will be used and I will freeze some pollen for the future, like pollinating the stinky Barney's White Widow XXL and others I'm testing. After that, I'm doing a totally different pollination and I don't want any risk of Taskenti pollen flying around, so I'll have to wash everything to avoid risks.

Ive been thinking in what you said, because it is interesting.
I believe you can be right on the harshness and part of it can be related to a stronger cell structure in this strain. But I'm also pretty sure that there is a part of the effect that is due to the resin composition. I mean, the cough you get is the cough you get from strong cannabis, the one that hits you from the lung several seconds after smoking, without itching or any other warning. I believe it is caused by the effect of the cannabinoids in the bronchial tube, since it has bronchodilating effect.
This kind of cough doesn't remember (to me) the cough of these weeds, that make you cough because it itches in your throat while the smoke passes through. That's something that should never happen with good weed, just with bad one, bad cured, wet, whatever.
It remembers me the first time I was in Amsterdam and smoked a real joint. My god, I started coughing after a couple of hits, I coughed for a whole minute and after that I was riding the train over the clouds for hours.
The thickest heaviest smoke I've seen is the one from Black Domina, it is something special. But I believe it is that thick because of the composition of the resin. And still, that one doesn't make me cough at all. Sativa smoke tends to be lighter.
I always smoke pure weed unmixed. Additives like tobacco make the cough disappear, there is some shit on it that masks the itching.
I would really like to have hash made from outdoor Taskenti.

so.... heaven?
Along the week I've been pollinating several females with the Taskenti pollen I got from the #6, #8 and #10 males from this batch. I also froze a batch of pollen containers for future pollinations, like that of the White Widow, before I culled the males. Just one step ahead.
In my experience, which is short in this subject, outcrosses made with Taskenti are usually worse than Taskenti, but also I really want to make them. They will provide productive, powerful and vital F1 plants, new smoking experiences, and also a measure of the quality of the males used.
Black Domina, for its polyhybrid nature, creates a very assorted offspring, so I expect a lot of variability. This plant, that's an almost pure Indica, summarizes all you'd expect from the best Afghans and Pakis. Fast, extremely tasty and sweet, relaxing. The smoke is unique, aromatic and dense. The plant smells a lot and extremely sweet even in veg. I've never smelled something like that. So let's see what we get from the mix.
For what I've seen in the Matanuska I've got, it is an inbreed strain (like most of old school strains that are offered in its unmixed purity, whatever it is), so the result will probably be better than the cut I used.
I didn't take any pic, but I will.

perhaps it may be due to high caryophyllene or other sesquiterpenes like bisabolol or humulene. caryophyllene is in black pepper,so that may irritate trachea. i wonder if sour bubble is cough inducing? it is another indica with high caryophyllene content
What I say there is that it makes you cough, but not because your throat itches, but for something that happens in the bottom of your lungs. But it could also be caused by terpenes, why not?
This expectorant effect, like the effect of the smoke, is most likely to be caused by the cannabinoids and the associated terpenes in the resin.
