I was able to take a few pics in the garden of a friend. who did better than me, my last plants burnt up under the heatwave we had.  I had my plants in pots, thse are planted in soil, that makes the difference.

This is a Cheese plant, short bur very wide. It smells promising!

Look at the resin on those leafs, too bad the picture is not sharp in the middle. This plant needs another two weeks.

A maturing Power Kush plant, from feminised seed.

A Power Kush bud.

A bud of the giant White Widow plant in this garden.

This WW is really huge,and it smells authentically sweet and spicy. I will smoke most of this garden, the grower does not smoke….

This is a Power Kush plant, ready for a clip. these plants were grown out of the feminized seeds I was given by Martin Barriuso, when he was visiting our finca.

We kept the plants separate, to know how much bud we get from one seed.

Adri is in charge of the hangin-up.

A Power Kush main bud, good density.

It looks like Hawaiian style, but this is Andalusian style!

I can not tell you how and where, but I separated the feminised seedplants and a clone from the regular seed plants.  I did so because on of my plants started flowering early, the Blue Mystic, from regular seed. I decided to black out the plants, so I made a dark room, and cut their light to 12 hours a day by just putting them in there every evening.

This a Blue Cheese plant, grown out of an imported clone, from Holland. It is a powerful strain, but it is not a big yielder, the buds are compact, but small. The smell is wild, the taste will be great.

Blue Cheese bud, small and smelly.

A  Blue Mystic bud, this plant produces nice, dense buds, and the smell is OK too…

The main bud of the Blue Mystic.

The Blue Mystic, ready to hang and dry.

This is a Blue Cheese bud, grown indoors by a friend, also from Dutch clones. I am smoking this bud as I type this. It tastes great, smells like old school skunk and it pleasures my mouth and nose in the best possible way. We have a mother now, but growers are not so content with the yield, only 65 grams of two plants. No difference in yield with the Cheese itsself. A great smoke, that’s for sure.

Time to come up with some pics, you will note a nice difference, after a week of rain and some sun, the sun really came out now, my green buddies love it.

Lovely sight! Look at how all leaves are turned towards the sun, trying to catch every possible ray in them.

These are 3 Sour Diesel plants, from seeds I was given by Rezdog a few years ago. I kept them in the fridge, they all came up, good genetics, good storage, good bud!

One of the Basic Diesel plants, also from Rezdog. This bud is a sweety with a nasty punch, you must love her. It is one of the better yielders.

A Blue Mystic plant, from a really old bag of Nirvana seeds, old school strain and material, hope it will still show good. Used to be a nice little creeper weed.

White Widow, I will try to find out from which breeder, these seeds come from a local grower. The plant looks vigorous and promising, I just hope it does not turn up male.

Yesterday I checked on my plants, it had been raining a few days, so I had not been around them for watering. The most powerful looking White Widow was widening, giving me the impression it would become a powerful virgin to be. I wanted to give the thick stem a better look when I discovered the shocking truth, balls! Amazing, first because of the contradictive development of the plant, and how early in the season it starts to show sex. This must be the h#rniest bloke around this time of year! I will keep it alive as long as possible, all other plants show no sign of flowering whatsoever.

What a pity, such a powerful plant goes male…

Balls, big male pollen balls. I’ll offer the plant to a local breeder, maybe he wants it for something.

This is one of our olive trees, it is full of balls as well, from this distance.

These are all fresh flower buds, every flower will turn into an olive, unless the wind blows out part of the flowers, like last year.

Next entry is as fresh as can be, just ran out to ’shoot’ this sun down….

Today it was time to pot the seedlings I germinated, they were all growing tall and towards the window.

We have good soil available here, we enhance it a little by mixing it with a fifth part of goat manure, which is very rich in nitrogen. Most of our neighbours have goats, easy to get and as organic as it gets.

The plants had all made sufficient roots, among them: Basic Diesel, Blue Mystic, Sour Diesel, White Widow and Power plant. Most them will be given to friends, I am keeping the two Diesels for myself, a friend of mine wants evetual males of the Basic Diesel to cross it with the Cheese.

After potting we will find them a nice spot in between the orange trees, so they will not get to much direct sunlight the first few days. Updates will follow.
