SundancerS Critical Neville Haze Auto | Let the new adventure begin
So, it’s finally time to get started with our new project! The Critical Neville Haze Auto had us curious even before the first leaf appeared. Its flavor is described as “sweet metallic”, which is either incredibly exciting or a very creative way of describing something rather special. Either way, it’s a welcome change for us. At around 90% Sativa, this is the first strongly Sativa-dominant plant we’ve grown in quite a while. We’re especially curious to see what the little 10% Indica from Il Diavolo (DS8) will contribute in the end. Maybe a bit more structure, maybe some extra chill in the genetics. We’ll find out.
All the seeds looked really good, so our selection process was, of course, based on highly scientific criteria: we simply picked the one that looked the most potent. Grower logic. Now we’re just hoping she doesn’t taste quite as loud and colorful as the packaging looks.
We’re absolutely thrilled to be part of this contest and just as excited to see which great Diaries we’ll be competing against. That’s exactly what makes these contests so much fun for us: discovering new grows, getting new ideas and seeing how our own experience holds up against other growers.
Since the weather is still surprisingly nice at the moment, we initially let the seed start outdoors. She didn’t get to enjoy that freedom for long, though. Right after planting, she moved indoors. Apparently, her outdoor career was a very short one.
New nutrients!!! ATAMI
A very special thank you goes to Marc/Mark from ATAMI. Our informative and genuinely great conversation made us curious about the ATAMI nutrient system and ultimately convinced us to give it a try for the first time in this Diary. We’re really interested to see how the system performs in everyday use, especially with almost daily feeding and such precise dosing.
A little spoiler right from the start: a 1 ml syringe was included. That at least suggests we’re not supposed to follow the classic grower philosophy of “roughly this much should do” or “more is better.” And honestly, we like that.
For the substrate, we’re sticking with our tried-and-tested BioBizz soil for now. The mix is approximately 70% All Mix, 25% Light Mix and a small amount of worm humus. So we’re combining a familiar and proven foundation with a completely new nutrient system for us.
Now it’s time to keep our fingers crossed, observe carefully and, most importantly, avoid over-optimizing everything into oblivion.
A big thank you to Delicious Seeds and ATAMI for their support. We’re incredibly excited about this contest and can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Let’s see what the Critical Neville Haze Auto can do with that Sativa-heavy genetics and whether she really surprises us with that mysterious “sweet metallic” flavor in the end.
We’re definitely curious and happy to take you all along for the ride.

The first grow week of our Critical Neville Haze Auto from Delicious Seeds is complete, and the start has definitely been promising. After germination, she really took off and has already developed her second node. Her leaf color is looking nice and healthy, the little lady is happily dancing in the breeze from the fan and stretching towards the light.
Her water consumption is also looking very good so far. She’s getting plenty to drink without having to swim in the substrate. She also reliably shows up in top form for her weekly photoshoot.
The start has definitely got us excited for what’s to come, and we’re curious to see how the Critical Neville Haze Auto develops over the next few weeks. So far, there’s absolutely nothing to complain about.

Die erste Growwoche unserer Critical Neville Haze Auto von Delicious Seeds ist abgeschlossen und der Start kann sich definitiv sehen lassen. Nach der Keimung hat sie ordentlich Gas gegeben und mittlerweile bereits ihre zweite Nodie entwickelt. Die Blattfarbe ist schön gesund, die kleine Dame wackelt fleißig im Ventilatorwind und streckt sich munter der Lampe entgegen.
Auch beim Wasserhaushalt macht sie bisher einen sehr guten Eindruck: Sie bekommt ordentlich zu trinken, ohne dabei gleich im Substrat schwimmen zu müssen. Beim wöchentlichen Fotoshooting erscheint sie ebenfalls zuverlässig in Bestform.
Der Start macht jedenfalls Lust auf mehr und wir sind gespannt, wie sich die Critical Neville Haze Auto in den kommenden Wochen entwickelt. Bisher gibt es absolut keinen Grund zur Beschwerde. 😏

The Critical Neville Haze Auto has really picked up the pace this week and continues to develop very quickly. She seems to be loving the combination of humidity, light and temperature and is making the most of the conditions right now. After just 10 days, we already topped her, which is a new personal record for us and definitely qualifies her as a fast starter. Our previous plants only reached that stage around day 12.
She is also very easygoing when it comes to water and nutrients. She takes both very well and is clearly putting those nutrients straight into growth. Overall, she looks strong and healthy, and it’s genuinely fun watching her grow. If she keeps up this pace, we may soon have to start wondering who is actually training whom here.

Die Critical Neville Haze Auto hat diese Woche ordentlich zugelegt und entwickelt sich weiterhin richtig flott. Die Kombination aus Luftfeuchtigkeit, Licht und Temperatur scheint ihr ausgesprochen gut zu gefallen und sie nutzt die Bedingungen aktuell ziemlich konsequent aus. Nach gerade einmal 10 Tagen haben wir sie bereits getoppt, was für uns tatsächlich ein neuer persönlicher Rekord ist, eine echte Schnellstartgenetik. Unsere bisherigen Pflanzen waren erst an Tag 12 so weit.
Auch beim Wasser und Dünger zeigt sie sich unkompliziert. Sie nimmt beides gut auf und setzt die Nährstoffe sichtbar in Wachstum um. Insgesamt macht sie einen kräftigen und gesunden Eindruck und es macht gerade richtig Spaß, ihr beim Wachsen zuzusehen. Wenn sie dieses Tempo beibehält, müssen wir uns wohl langsam überlegen, wer hier eigentlich wen trainiert. 😂

The topping on day 10 apparently didn’t impress our Critical Neville Haze Auto, or CNHA for short, in the slightest. She simply kept growing afterwards as if nothing had happened. Within just one week, she developed incredibly well and gained a lot in both size and structure. For us, that was a pretty clear sign: Yes, this lady definitely seems to enjoy a bit of training. So naturally, we didn’t hesitate for long and carried on.
When it comes to water consumption, she is still pleasantly modest at the moment. After all, the roots first need to spread throughout the entire pot before she starts developing a serious thirst. In return, she is showing off a rich, healthy green color. So far, we really like her structure and are curious to see where this journey will take us.
Of course, we also have the contest and its duration somewhere in the back of our minds. Still, we’re trying not to let that stress us out too much. After all, the plant sets the pace, not the calendar.
She is also handling the ATAMI nutrients very well so far. Our little CNHA keeps growing, happily accepting the training, and currently gives us the very clear impression that she still has quite a few surprises left for us.

Das Topping an Tag 10 hat unsere Critical Neville Haze Auto, kurz CNHA, offenbar nicht einmal ansatzweise beeindruckt. Sie ist danach einfach weitergewachsen, als wäre absolut nichts passiert. Innerhalb einer Woche hat sie sich unglaublich entwickelt und ordentlich an Größe und Struktur zugelegt. Für uns war das ein ziemlich klares Zeichen: Yes, die Dame scheint Training durchaus zu mögen. Also haben wir natürlich nicht lange überlegt und weitergemacht.
Beim Wasserverbrauch hält sie sich aktuell noch angenehm zurück. Die Wurzeln müssen sich schließlich erst einmal im gesamten Topf ausbreiten, bevor sie wirklich großen Durst entwickelt. Dafür präsentiert sie ein sattes, gesundes Blattgrün. Bis jetzt gefällt uns ihre Struktur wirklich gut und wir sind gespannt, wo die Reise noch hingeht.
Natürlich haben wir auch den Contest und dessen Laufzeit ein wenig im Hinterkopf. Trotzdem versuchen wir, uns davon nicht zu sehr verrückt machen zu lassen. Die Pflanze gibt schließlich das Tempo vor und nicht der Kalender.
Mit dem ATAMI Dünger kommt sie bisher ebenfalls sehr gut zurecht. Die kleine CNHA wächst, trainiert fleißig mit und macht momentan ganz klar den Eindruck, als hätte sie noch einiges vor. 😁
