Neville the Ripper
Also known as: Neville's Ripper
Neville the Ripper Strain Overview
Neville the Ripper is a potent sativa-dominant cannabis strain created by breeder Neville Schoenmaker, founder of The Seed Bank (which later became Sensi Seeds). The strain was developed in the 1980s during the early days of modern cannabis breeding, representing one of the pioneering efforts to stabilize and refine sativa genetics. It was bred specifically to capture the cerebral, energetic effects characteristic of classic sativas while improving consistency and reliability for cultivation.
The strain is characterized by its tall, lanky structure with long internodal spacing and narrow, serrated leaves typical of sativa varieties. The buds are typically elongated and airy rather than dense, with a light green coloration often accented by orange pistils. Neville the Ripper gained recognition for its powerful psychoactive effects and complex aromatic profile, making it a favorite among sativa enthusiasts seeking a clear-headed, creative experience.
While not as widely available as some modern commercial strains, Neville the Ripper maintains historical significance as an early example of professional cannabis breeding. It represents an important link between landrace sativa genetics and the hybridized strains that would follow. The strain's name references both its creator (Neville) and its potent effects that can 'rip' through users with intense cerebral stimulation.

Neville the Ripper Strain Growing Information
Neville the Ripper is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, particularly for novice growers. It has a long flowering time of 10-12 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in late October to early November in northern hemisphere climates. The plants can reach considerable heights of 6-8 feet outdoors and 4-6 feet indoors, requiring ample vertical space and possibly training techniques to manage height.
Yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant in favorable environments. This strain prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates with low humidity when grown outdoors. Indoor cultivation requires good air circulation and careful monitoring for mold due to the airy bud structure. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and other training methods to maximize light penetration and yield.
