Church of Nevil
Also known as: Nevil's Church, Nevil's Haze
Church of Nevil Strain Overview
Church of Nevil is a rare and historically significant cannabis strain developed by legendary breeder Nevil Schoenmakers, founder of The Seed Bank (later Sensi Seeds). The strain was created in the 1980s as part of Schoenmakers' pioneering work in cannabis genetics, specifically designed to preserve and enhance the characteristics of classic Haze varieties. Its name references both its creator and the almost reverential status it holds among cannabis historians and connoisseurs.
The strain represents a carefully selected phenotype of Original Haze, stabilized through multiple generations of selective breeding. Church of Nevil is characterized by its tall, lanky sativa-dominant structure with long internodal spacing and thin, delicate leaves. The buds are typically airy and elongated, covered in a generous coating of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from light green to lime green with occasional purple hues in cooler temperatures, complemented by vibrant orange pistils.
Church of Nevil is particularly notable for its preservation of the original Haze genetics that formed the foundation for many modern hybrids. While not widely available commercially due to its rarity and specific growing requirements, it remains highly sought after by preservationists and breeders interested in accessing classic cannabis genetics. The strain's historical importance lies in its connection to the early days of modern cannabis breeding and its role in preserving genetic lineages that might otherwise have been lost.

Church of Nevil Strain Growing Information
Church of Nevil is considered a challenging strain to cultivate, suitable primarily for experienced growers. The plants exhibit strong sativa characteristics with a flowering time of 12-14 weeks indoors and up to 16 weeks outdoors. Indoor plants can reach heights of 150-200cm, while outdoor plants may exceed 300cm. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, but the long flowering period requires patience.
Preferred growing conditions include a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold. Indoor cultivation requires significant vertical space and careful training techniques like SCROG or LST to manage height. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from extended vegetative growth periods. Outdoor cultivation is possible in suitable climates, but plants require protection from excessive moisture and cold temperatures. Special considerations include the need for excellent air circulation and careful monitoring during the extended flowering phase.
