Seb's take
New York City Diesel's autoflowering remake, shorter and more discreet outdoors than her regular counterpart but no less generous — 450 to 550g/m² is a fine return for a plant that fits in a corner. Tropical fruit, lemon and grapefruit on the nose; the high is euphoric, energetic and creative.
Where it comes from
Advanced Seeds offer this as an autoflowering remake of Black Diesel, the record naming Auto New York City Diesel as her line, and she grows like the Sativa-dominant hybrid that heritage implies. Plants form a huge central cola with side branches under large buds. The automatic version comes in slightly shorter than its regular counterpart outdoors, which the house rightly counts as an advantage: easier to handle and far more discreet. A tidy conversion of a Diesel classic.
Nose & flavour
Tropical fruit, lemon and grapefruit lead the nose, a bright, citrus-forward profile with a fresh, juicy character to it. It is the grapefruit and lemon that carry, sharp and clean, the tropical fruit sweetening the whole. A lively, appetising aroma that leans toward the fruit bowl rather than the fuel pump, whatever the Diesel name might suggest.
The high
Euphoric, energetic and creative, a bright and engaged Sativa-leaning experience rather than a settling one. This is daytime company, a lift that keeps the mind working and the mood high, well suited to conversation and to making things. At a moderate 17% THC it is an agreeable, manageable effect, lively without ever running away with itself.
Growing it
Seventy to eighty days in flower, on the slower side for an auto, standing eighty to a hundred centimetres outdoors, slightly shorter than her regular counterpart, while indoors she matches the original at up to a metre and a half. Yields run a generous four hundred and fifty to five hundred and fifty grams the square metre, which is a fine return for a plant this discreet, at up to 17% THC. A well-behaved, corner-friendly auto with proper output.
