Thanks for visiting

I think that the strain was evolving every year, according to Kaiki's work system (afaik, he used not to have any mother plants, and he chose every year the parents of the next offspring). That's probably why they didn't keep the line. And that's why last generations are better but more endogamic.

Probably the feminised versions were very good as well, I don't have any experience. But having some males in the offspring allowed us to work with the line.

At the moment I have three different lines of the Taskenti strain CBG was selling. They come from different stages of the evolution of the strain, and all of them represent what a Taskenti should be. Tall, big, resinous hashplant. I plan to make a fucking ton of seeds crossing all three to get more vigor and selecting offspring. This weed deserves to keep going.

My Taskentis from different lines are growing. First ones are from the 2012 repro I made. I just got these 5. I'm going to cross all males with my selected Taskenti mom.



And these little fellas are from a 2005 S1. It is all I know from them. I guess somebody had a good cut in 2005 and decided to self it. All of them are going to be female, so I'm going to select the best females (if they are that good) and cross them with the males from my 2008 F2 and from my 2012 F2 as well.



Cheers

PS: I've uploaded a smoke test of my selected cut

Very nice man... the 2005 plants are looking great, like little mint plants rather than Cannabis! lol. I'm so curious about those too.

Some pictures I've just taken. Taskenti from the 2012 repro I made. They look very good, big dark leaves and strong aromas. They are already quite branchy.

Great thread(and cat!)

[Carraxe]

I've taken all the plants out of the growing tent. I have some new pictures of the Taskenti lines.

Taskenti 2005 S1. I have a dozen of these.



Taskenti 2012 F2. I have just 5.


All of them look like they have to: thick branchy stinky indicas. Good shit will start when I switch them, but since pure indicas need some time to grow, they'll need probably more a month.

do you see any variation in these lines or they kinda samey?

[Carraxe]

The lines I have already grown are a little different. Now in vegetative I don't find any differences, but I haven't been looking for them.

The differences I found when I grew them, years ago, were related with taste and smell. Always subtle, but a bit different. As far as I remember, they were very similar in structure and made big plants. I suspect the older versions were a little taller.
