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…

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.
We have about 1500 trees on our land, most of them citric fruit trees. We have oranges, lemons, mandarins, besides olives, almonds and a few apples.
Some of our orange trees have lemon branches in them, as they were inserted as such by the previous owner of our finca. It seems that all citric trees can be inserted into one and other, so we asked our neighbour Juan if he could insert a few lime-lemon branches in an orange tree near the pool, so an occasional gin-tonic drinker can have his/her lime fresh from the tree. Juan was willing and able, here come the images…
Juan brought a couple of selected lime branches, cut from another friendly neighbour’s lime tree.
Juan cut off some branches of the orange tree to create room for the inserts.
Juan selected a piece of branch with a good node, and started peeling the required part from the stem.
This is the piece of bast needed for an insert.
The next step is cutting an opening in the bast of the tree, so the insert can be placed in there.
The insert is being placed under the skin of the orange tree.
A piece of rope is tied around the entire area, so the jiuces can not pour out.
Juan made three inserts, now we just wait and see if they catch on…
The tools and materials used, old school…
Come and have your gin-tonics with home made lime!

In this blog I will show you how to make a huge joint out of strange ingredients.
The joint is meant to be lit up, but no ones mouth is big enough to smoke it. I made the joints below to decorate and lite my coffeeshop’s bar, real joints are being smoked under the led loaded king size… Many of my clients told me they would like one for their room or house. Here is how to make your own…
The base of the joint is a piece of plywood, pick any size you like, your choice. My joints are 115 cms long.
I wanted it to look like a joint that has been smoked on already, so I took measurements from the one I was smoking at the moment.
I measured where to put the led lamps and the big hinge in the lines of the joint.
After making sure everything would fit in I jigsawed the joint out of the plywood.
We never close the shop for renovations, but we try to keep the place accessable, so my workshop is on the side walk, the dust just blows away…
Next step: wiring the joint up, I placed to fittings in the bottom of the joint to lite the bar, and one fitting at the wide end to light the tip of the joint.
Ready to start rolling up now…
I used chicken wire for the shape of the cone, makes it firm enough and keeps the weight low.
After that, I hung it up, wide side down.
I used old newspapers and wallpaper glue to skin the joint up, it is a bit messy, but very effective, it took about ten minutes to do the job.
I left it to dry overnight, together with the tip, made out of chicken wire and paper too.
The first joint is up, all it needs now is a little white paint.
There you go, painted and plugged in, seems to work.
The two huge joints work fine, the bar is well lit and the tips are glowing. Next time I will make me a bigger one to hang above the cannabis counter…
