How to grow Neville's Haze
Taste
Seb's take
Named for Dutch breeder Neville Schoenmakers, and bred at a time when sativa lovers had precious little choice on the market. Northern Lights #5 gives structure to the Haze; diesel, flowery sweetness and lemon show on the nose. The high stays energetic, focused, happy and uplifted — a 1998 Cannabis Cup win, and no surprise there.
Where it comes from
Named for Dutch breeder Neville Schoenmakers, and built at a moment when the market had drowned sativa lovers in indicas and left them little to choose from. Northern Lights #5 lends the structure and resin; Haze supplies the soaring half. The record dates the history to the late 1990s and credits the boldness with a 1998 Cannabis Cup win — a rebuttal, in plant form, to the idea that everything worth growing had to finish fast and sit you down.
Nose & flavour
Diesel opens the nose, sharp and unmistakable, with a flowery sweetness behind it and lemon brightening the top. An earthy base holds the whole thing together. It is a loud, layered aroma — one that does not travel discreetly, and was never meant to. The Haze heritage announces itself well before the jar is fully open.
The high
Energetic and focused, happy and uplifted, with just enough relaxation underneath to keep it civilised. This is Haze doing what Haze does — a clear, driving lift rather than a weight, the sort that finds you a task and sees it through. At 19 to 21% THC it carries real substance, but the character stays bright and busy from start to finish.
Growing it
A tall plant, 180 to 200cm, so give her the headroom without negotiation. Flowering is a long haul at 70 to 95 days — the Haze half is in no rush — but the record's yield figures justify the wait: 641 to 702 g/m², heavy by any measure. She is a slow, generous sativa that repays a patient grower and a high ceiling. Plan the space and the calendar before the seed goes in, and she will fill both.
