First seeds I ever grew were from the Positronics collection,cant remember if I bought them in Pashas in Newcastle or the advert in the back of Viz magazine showing the cartoon rasta bending over a tray of plants,good stuff but have been left behind in the race for greater THC and fancy names.

I had spoken with him at the last HTCC and he is more busy with his Double Fun strain for medicinal purposes like the simple production of Rick's hemp oil.

Some older pics of that time

I saw wernard at the expo at this year's cannabis cup, just walking round like a regular visitor.

Positronics strains were great, were copied by Nirvana, Dutch Passion and others, KC Brains was one of their breeders so quite a few of their strains are still available from KC.


There isa new startup Spanish seed co. also called positronics, think they just bought the rights to the name, they are using the old logo too. Their genes sound like the standard feminised spanish fare and not based on old positronics lines.

My posts get deleted when i mention what seed site i bought it from (real fucking unbiased mods, geez absolutely no buying of anywhere but the boo and the bay) but... I ordered critical mass x ak47. I supposed to buy purple haze info as follows, think its the real deal?
HYBRIDISATION
Created in the USA during the 70s, it became famous because of the Jimmy Hendrix song. That variety differs greatly to the one offered nowadays by Positronics as, in the beginning, Purple Haze was characterisied by medium-low psychoactivity and minimal production. Hazes were too pure to flower and did not develop adequately. Despite this, it was the most smoked variety at Woodstock. Since then Positronics have kept this variety a jealously-guarded secret to relaunch it nearly 40 years later to get you hooked on the hippy generation vibe that we miss so much.
PHYSIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION
Emormously vigorous plant with large, medium-thickness stems that take on purple hues. Large internodal distance, similar growth pattern to Claustrum, dividing out its branches in a fir or candelabra-like fashion thus optimising the production of floral bunches.
Moderate number of large, thin and jagged leaves. Flowers acquire purple tones with shades varying from violet to maroon, giving this variety a unique polichromy that is a real visual delight. Will doubtless become the ueen of the arden! rowroom.
ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES
AROMA: Heady aroma between incense and cinnamon, slightly acidic, very peculiar.
TASTE: Revolutionary even before the mythical Skunk. Made an impact owing to its powerful high and bitter-sweet taste. Its complex flavour offers notes ranging from sweet to spicy with a very incensed aftertaste that lingers on the palate.
EFFECT: Instant high characteristic of sativas that unexpectedly allows the creative juices to flow. Purple Haze can cause a strange yet nice feeling in which objects’ (including our own bodies] ability to float is enhanced while everything is enveloped in a mysterious purple mist … be aware that this effect may not be enjoyable for beginners.
NEEDS & TIPS
Purple Haze become very big plants and will need poles and ties to support their large branches. They also require a large amount of space for their root systems and copious amounts of water. In short, not appropriate for balconies or terraces.
Outdoors, owing to its ample vegetative period, we can always delay sowing until June-July to diminish its enormous vigour because, if not, we would be left facing a hefty pruning job. Inside, we recommend forcing early flowering to take up less space. Furthermore, permanent ventilation is necessary for optimum flower development.

caramelize
HYBRIDISATION
The skunk’s varieties supposed a successful for the cannabis growing. Its citric flavour and taste fascinated hundreds of thousands of farmers, whom continue filling the gardens with these varieties. Positronics has created a Skunk for the XXI century. Caramelice captures the aroma and taste of its parents, but it’s more resistant to fungus attacks and is faster flowering, both handicaps of skunk variety.
PHYSIOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION
A powerfully vigorous plant from the start. Fine stems, medium internodal distance, large quantity of small, light-green, jagged leaves. During flowering, the plant will fill up with long and large stigmas, and it is at this point when the real Skunk emerges – don’t say we didn’t warn you! It will start to acquire its characteristic intense orange colour by around the fifth week and the buds will become covered in a large quantity of trichomes, characteristic of Skunk varieties. It will form large towers of compact buds known as "donkey dicks" The orange colour will become more intense.
ORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES
AROMA: orange, lime, lemon … the whole citrus family contained in one cannabis variety. Impactful aroma that does not go unnoticed. Highly commercial as everyone likes it. Was the most grown variety in the UK and Holland for a whole decade.
TASTE: The taste and aroma are the key to this variety’s success. It really is like having a segment of orange in your mouth. Perhaps a dream come true for all growers.
EFFECT: A very enjoyable euphoric sensation typical of Skunk varieties, moderately psychoactive, ideal for destressing. Notoriously appetite enhancing.
NEEDS & TIPS
Uninhibited growth is not advisable as its stems are not very thick. Use of nets or poles to support the weight of the flowers is needed. Use of antiÃD

Wernard gave away his positronic seed stock / lines a long long time back,, to Nirvana BV, Homegrown Fantaseed, to High Quality Seeds,, et al.

This is how those seed banks came to exist...

Er no, Wernard's seed collection was stolen from him, it is said he never got over it's loss.

Positronics went bust because the employees were robbing the place blind. The people who went on to run Nirvana, High Quality, Homegrown Fantaseeds, Growi Seeds etc all worked for Positronics and this is why their original seed line-ups were just f2s of Posi lines. Nirvana took a slightly different tack, they used the best production clones from the Posi collection and pollinated them with a special Purple Skunk male.

As we understand it Wernard initially closed Positronics following his divorce ,, and subsequently gave his seed lines to the ppl involved with Positronics at the time.

Likewise ANY member of the Semimillia Fan Club had access to all of Wernards clone genetics at the time.

No-one needed to "rip him off" ,, he gave them away for FREE,, so others could continue the work he'd already started :D

Peace
