The first ever growshop in the Netherlands was founded by the Potfather of the Cannabis and Coffeeshop Culture, Wernard Bruining, he named it Positronics. The Positronics Growshop came with a proper variety of seeds, based on the varieties Wernard selected in the early days, like Skunk #1, Northern Lights, White Widow and all the other old school strains. Positronics went bankrupt in 1996, Wernard collapsed and the seedbank was split up by former employees and others. Sebastian, the owner of the 'El punto eres tu' growshop in Malaga was and is a huge fan of Wernard and his accomplishments. I introduced them to one and other on our farm in Alora, during which encounter Sebastian suggested to Wernard to re-introduce Positronics seeds on the Spanish market to start with. Wernard liked the idea, so things started to roll, he supplied Sebas with batches of his old school seeds. He gave Sebas permission to set up a line of feminized seeds, based on Positronics genetics. Before that, they came out with a straight seeds collectors box, to start getting attention for the 'new school' Positronics seeds.Read this and more information (and see some pictures) onto Nol van Schaik's Blog, where i get this text from.Link: http://www.hempcity.net/blog/?p=171
Cum Laude borns as an acknowledgement to Mr. Antonio Escohotado, for his priceless work normalizing the cannabis scene. Teacher, philosopher, writer... he's one of the big thinkers of the XX century, and is considered one of the pioneers in the fight for the cannabis users' rights. HibridisationCum laude is a triple hibridisation of pure sativas. Some elite clones were given to us with the intention of working to creat a stable line of pure sativa.Physiological descriptionWill grow very fast from the very beginning with a typical fir pattern. Pruning during growth will change this pattern to a candelabrum. That's why we advise to shorten the growing period. Long internodal distance with a strong structure that will keep with the weight of the big flowers. Average amount of leafs, extremely thin of a light green color. Buds will look like thick and dense wheatstalks, covered with an oily layer of tricomes.PROPIEDADES ORGANOLEPTICASAROMA: The living plant smells aniseed with lavender notes. Complex aroma that will develop acquiring deepest notes of coffee and exotic species. Dry flowers will sharpen these and will impregnate the room. We will easily recognise it due to its singularity.SABOR: EUREKA! This is the point, sativa lovers... Long lasting flavour with many terpenes and terpenoids (pinonello, limonello...) if you don't like it we can say you don't like sativas. Strong earthy notes with hotspicy sensations. Extreme dry mouth and flavour that last for long.EFFECT: Inmediate clean high, long and pleasurant, where the mind accelerates and can lead to high creative moments. Without a doubt, a haze that will amuse the exotic sativa lovers.RECOMMENDSIndoor: Avoid the growing period and start straight with the 12/12 photoperiod, in fact we need to take care of its height. After 35 days it'll start showing the first flowers and in 45 days more will be ready for harvest. Will develop a big central cola that will be better tied to a bamboo stick. High nitrogene nutrition will avoid early yellowing of the leaf, and ph level checking becomes necessary. High moisture levels tolerated and resistant to fungus.OUTDOOR: For a discrete growing, sow as late as possible. The ventilated flower will tolerate high humidity levels. Will fully develop with plenty of sun. In a satisfactory cultivation will produce big long colas of flowers that will make you the king of sativas.GENEALOGY: (Queen mother X Tijuana) X Original HazeOutdoor sowing: June-julyharvest outdoor: end of octoberharvest indoor: 75-80 days
