Taskenti

[Carraxe]

I've just put these Taskentis into the flowering room. I'll use the males for an open pollination with the females I've kept from the 2005 run. If I remember correctly, these are the #1, #2, #3, #9 (from another batch), #12, #21, #22, #23, #24 and #25, and I have to determine the sex of numbers #31 and #32.

I keep, from that same line, several males in vegetative form, and several frozen pollen samples.

I've repotted and put into flower this new selected cut. The general aspect of every one of the Taskentis I work with is lush and dark green.

In this last couple of years I've selected 4 different female cuts from 2 different Taskenti lines. I grew all of them several times, so I really know them. Now I've selected several good females and males from another line. I'm going to cross the 4 already selected females with a mix of pollen from all these males. I already know this line I got these last males from is the most homogeneous, so I hope that mixing this one with the most healthy specimens I've selected will provide a good and diverse offspring. I've got cuts of all of them, both males and females, just in case is there any problem with pollination.

I like the last one I selected, TT125#4, more and more every day. The bouquet has been evolving from nothing (nothing, really) to a fine sensitive experience and the grind bud smells beautifully now. The smell is a complex, deep anise-eucalyptus mentholated feeling with a licorice background. I understand this terpene profile is rich in heavy terpenes like biterpenes, sesquiterpenes and such. Not the terpenes that evaporate quickly, like limonene and others in the commercial stinky bud, but the heavier, non volatile ones that only shine after a cure.

I asked my gf, who isn't a pothead and doesn't have her head in an ethernal cloud, what she thought about the smell, and she also loved it.

It is hard to smoke, but very strong. A perfect model of what I love in this strain.

These are the males I'm using for this pollination, all of them come from the TT125 line and have been put into flower just 10 days ago. The females from this line are quite untamed, energetic and very much the most authentic old Taskentis I've grown. I still have a lot of seeds from this line, and I hope that many of them will sprout without problems in a near future.


These have been growing very fast and untopped, so they look quite columnar.

I've got ten tasty and gorgeous females from the 2005 line that need to be pollinated with these males, and I've just taken cuts from all of them. All of them are good, so I couldn't choose the best ones yet. I'll have pollen samples collected during the next days and I'll store it for the proper moment, that will be as soon as I get the cuts rooted and I can flower the mother plants.
