Hello
I've been growing clones and seeds from this strain for years. I do so because since I found it, in 2012, it became the model of what a pure indica should be, in my opinion. These plants are productive and strong, but the most important thing, the effect they provide, is unique. It has a strong high at the beginning that after some minutes becomes the heavier body numbness I've ever experimented using weed. I always sleep after smoking this weed, and the effect over pain due to fatigue, join inflammation, etc is yet to be equaled by any other strain.
Comparing to this, I find the effects of the strongest modern hybrids not to be up to the task in the medical section. The main problem with this strains is that the seedbank isn't offering it anymore due a lot of endogamy problems they were having. Apparently they were crossing the best specimens for years until they found their seeds didn't sprout anymore, and they discontinued it.
I found a very special keeper in one packet from the 2006-2008 (we aren't sure) a friend sent to me. It was an incredible lucky strike. I've managed to find older stock (less endogamic) from different sources and I've been working actively to produce seeds with my special clone and different males, using the females from the different stocks to evaluate their quality.
Usually the more modern Taskenti were better but more endogamic. And the ones from years before (2005) were more raw, less worked.
I'll start the thread with some pictures of my selected clone:
