CannaBioGen is a very well-respected cannabis collective that operates out of Spain. The team is serious about its work and has an excellent reputation for reliable genetics. Taking a more scientific approach to cannabis research and development they have several incredible original strains that are popular with connoisseur growers, breeders and tokers. Taskenti is a pure indica that originated in Uzbekistan, but CannaBioGen worked hard to stabilize the most valuable traits of the plant to make it suitable for a variety of grow situations in the Western world.

This strain tends to vegetate quickly and looks like your archetypal indica plant. With heavy branching, very deep green leaves and big, fat buds, it is the bulldog of the growing world and is certainly not to be messed with, taking to soil particularly well and scaring off pests before they get their nasty little teeth into it. However, a little tenderness also goes a long way, and aeroponic systems allow Taskenti to bloom beautifully. This strain flowers without too much effort, and is a good plant if you’re planning on an early harvest as it doesn’t need the extra couple of weeks for flowering that some strains prefer. The vegetative stage should last for a bare minimum of 30 days, with plants maturing fully in 7 to 9 weeks. Ensure that the atmosphere in your grow room is well-ventilated and dry, particularly during the flowering period. For an even greater yield you can grow Taskenti outdoors and it is especially well-suited to climates similar to those of the mountains of southern Spain. If so, plan to harvest in October. Always a good choice for a novice grower, Taskenti can withstand many typical newbie mistakes.

Your resulting Taskenti bud will be noticeably heavier than many other types and does not have the overpowering stench that you might expect. A little trimming will be necessary, as these nugs often contain more leaves than other strains, but putting in a little effort to beautify your bud will definitely be worthwhile. The tight buds will burn quickly and smoothly. The thick smoke is a bit of a cougher, but gives you a nice full feeling giving way to a serious but mellow high that leaves you with no hangover the next day. It does taste good but try to pace yourself in working through your stash, as you’ll find yourself dozing if you go over the top.
