NYC Diesel strain info:
Although its genetic background remains unclear, cannabis aficionados believe that it is a combination of three esteemed strains – Sour Diesel (Sour D), Afghani, and Hawaiian.
Sour D is a Sativa-leaning weed with a diesel aroma that brings a cerebral high with a mellow body calm. Afghani is a pure Indica landrace known to deliver deep somatic relaxation with just a few hits. Meanwhile, Hawaiian Sativa induces euphoric ideas that get the creative juices flowing. Merging these three resulted in a breed that is a dream for anyone who needs a boost of energy.
Its commanding 60% Sativa genes blended with 18 to 21%THC provides smokers with an invigorating and joyful buzz. A quintessential hybrid that ushers in a balance of mental and physical stimulation, it is ideal for people in need of relief from stress and depression.
True to its diesel genetics, it releases a fuel-like aroma. However, it also emits sweet citrus notes that make a unique fragrance. A few puffs guarantee a pleasant experience for your taste buds by letting you savor a distinct grapefruit flavor blended with a bit of spice and lime relish.
You can grow your own NYC Diesel plant by using photoperiod or autoflowering seeds. It is not an easy strain to manage, but with experience and by learning some techniques and tips, you can help it reach its full potential.

NYC Diesel Grow Info
NYC Diesel is an extremely tall plant; therefore, it is necessary to employ height-limiting techniques to manage its growth while maximizing its yield. On the plus side, the foliage is sparse, and the leaves grow long and slim, making it less susceptible to moisture-related diseases. Nonetheless, the colas will house copious amounts of emerald green buds with a thick coat of trichomes and dark orange pistils. The heavyweight will need extra support due to the plant’s thin and lanky structure.
NYC Diesel’s photoperiod versions can grow very tall and will be challenging to grow, especially for newbies. It naturally stands out in a crowd, and constant effort must be exerted to make sure that it does not attract too much attention. Expert growers advise that in order to keep this plant happy and continue to provide heavy yields, topping and fimming should be done during the vegetative stage.
Propagating this strain indoors would mean that controlling the height is the top priority. You can simply tie the branches down to encourage lateral growth instead of a vertical stretch, or better yet, use the Screen of Green (SCROG) method. Scrogging also provides added support to the branches since they are weaved through a screen suspended over the plant. When employing this technique, you should remove the bottom growth to ensure better air circulation and prevent pathogens from invading the grow room. Moreover, if you want your weed to be packed with flavor, use an organic soil mix to enhance its terpene profile.
Depending on the stage your plant is in, it will demand varying temperature and relative humidity (RH) levels. You can refer to this guide for optimum conditions:
- Seedling stage: 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit), 65% to 70% RH
- Vegetation period: 21 to 28 degrees Celsius (71 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit), 40% to70% RH
- Flowering period: 20 to 26 degrees Celsius (68 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit), 40% to 50% RH
- 1 to 2 weeks prior to harvest: 18 to 24 degrees Celsius (64 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit), 30% to 40% RH
When properly cared for, this strain can give you a harvest in 10 to 12 weeks with a yield of 400 grams (14 ounces) per square meter.
If you leave NYC Diesel on its own in an alfresco environment, it can reach an astonishing height of 180 to 220 cm (6 to 7 feet). There is also a possibility for it to grow a skyrocketing 400 cm (13 feet)! A sunny, Mediterranean climate is best for it to flourish. Each lofty plant can up to 350 grams (12 ounces) of sticky, aromatic buds.
Are you planning to breed your own strain? Then regular seeds are the way to go. They sprout both male and female plants that are as close to the original as possible but make sure to separate the males right away to avoid contaminating the females’ flowers. On the other hand, if you only want to produce smokable weed, go ahead and use feminized seeds.
NYC Diesel’s autoflowering version is ideal for novice growers because of the added magic of the Ruderalis genes. This genetic makeup supplies it with a more manageable height and a hardier structure. Also, autos do not have to follow the lighting schedule of photoperiods. Even if you place it under 24 hours of light, it will still blossom in due time.
This auto only grows up to 50 cm (about 2 feet) tall, making it a space-saving option that can be maximized with the Sea of Green (SOG) method. It has a brief life cycle of only 8 to 10 weeks, allowing indoor growers to have a perpetual harvest of 300 to 350 grams (11 to 12 ounces) per square meter.
Outdoors, it likes a warm environment with plenty of sunshine where it can generate a decent yield of 100 to 150 grams (3.5 to 5 ounces) per plant. This may not seem very generous, but you can stock up your pot stash by planting one batch in April, harvest by July, then sow a second batch in June to collect more buds by October.
