Nevil's Blackberry
Also known as: Blackberry, Nevil's Blackberry Kush
What is the Nevil's Blackberry strain?
Nevil's Blackberry is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Nevil's Blackberry is a classic indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by legendary breeder Nevil Schoenmakers, founder of The Seed Bank (which later became Sensi Seeds). The strain emerged during the 1980s cannabis breeding renaissance and represents one of the early successful attempts to stabilize and commercialize a true purple cannabis variety. It gained particular popularity in the Netherlands and throughout Europe before spreading to North American markets.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display deep purple to almost black coloration, often with contrasting orange pistils. The purple pigmentation results from anthocyanin production triggered by cooler temperatures during flowering. The plant typically produces a sweet, berry-forward aroma with earthy undertones, living up to its name with a flavor profile reminiscent of fresh blackberries mixed with hash and floral notes.
Nevil's Blackberry is noted for its relatively short flowering time and manageable growth pattern, making it accessible to cultivators of various experience levels. While not as widely available as some modern commercial strains, it maintains a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its classic genetics, reliable effects, and historical significance in cannabis breeding. The strain represents an important link between early Dutch breeding programs and contemporary indica varieties.

How do you grow Nevil's Blackberry?
Nevil's Blackberry is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plant tends to stay relatively compact, typically reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. It responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, with indoor yields averaging 14-16 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant in suitable climates.
This strain benefits from cooler nighttime temperatures during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering to enhance its characteristic purple coloration. It has moderate resistance to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation due to its dense bud structure. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can improve yields. The plant prefers stable conditions and may be sensitive to nutrient overload, particularly nitrogen during flowering. It performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems.
