Neville's Haze
Neville's Haze
Also known as: Nevil's Haze, A5
Overview
Neville's Haze was named after Nevil Schoenmakers (1956-2019), founder of the Seed Bank of Holland and a pioneering cannabis breeder known as the 'King of Cannabis.' The strain was created by combining a pure Haze to a NL5/Haze, thus creating probably one of the most influential plants of our time. The strain originates with two Haze phenotypes, Haze A and Haze C, which Schoenmakers reportedly obtained from the Haze brothers. Schoenmakers crossed Haze A with Northern Lights #5, and the resulting hybrid would be crossed with the Haze C to create Neville's Haze. Neville's Haze won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 1998, taking first place in the seeds category.
This is a tall sativa with almost pure Haze lineage, being a nearly pure sativa (90-100%) with a strong lineage tracing back to the original Haze genetics from the 1960s. It's known for being a tall plant with a pine cone scent and distinctive floral notes. The buds are dense and light green in color, but are covered with light brown hair. Additionally, you will find crystals throughout the buds, which make it look as though it were crystallized sugar. The Haze lineage comes from a mix of Colombian, Thai, Mexican, and South Indian landrace strains, making it one of the most exotic and sought-after genetics. It is a strain that appeals to skilled sativa growers and well-informed cannabis connoisseurs, remaining a rare but highly valued strain in the cannabis community due to its long growth cycle and challenging cultivation.

Growing Information
Neville's Haze has an extremely long flowering period of 14-16 weeks, making it one of the longest among cannabis strains. Yields are moderate to high with approximately 450-600g/m² indoors and 600-1200g per plant outdoors. Plants can reach over 6 feet (2 meters) in height, especially outdoors, due to their equatorial sativa lineage. This strain requires intermediate to advanced cultivation experience and is recommended for experienced growers to the most advanced cultivators. The optimal temperature range is between 70-85°F (21-29°C), requiring a tropical or Mediterranean climate and thriving in regions with longer summers. Both Mr. Nice and Green House recommend hydroponic methods with Screen of Green (ScrOG) or Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques. Outdoor flowering is ready by November in the Northern Hemisphere and July in the Southern Hemisphere.
