Seb's take
Jack Herer and NYC Diesel combine for a strain that, like the city itself, doesn't seem to switch off. Lemon, fruit and citrus on the nose; the high stays happy, euphoric and energetic, sharpening focus and creativity through the day. A proper kick for those who want one.
Where it comes from
Jack Herer and NYC Diesel combine, and the result keeps the hours of the city it is named for — which is to say it does not appear to switch off. Jack Herer lends the bright, cerebral sativa spine; NYC Diesel the fuel and the fruit. Pyramid Seeds have built a daytime plant with 70% sativa in it and little interest in an early night. The name is not accidental.
Nose & flavour
Lemon leads, clean and zesty, backed by a broader fruit and citrus character. A bright, sharp nose with no heaviness to it — the sort that reads as morning rather than evening. There is a freshness here that suits the plant's temperament, and nothing muddy to weigh it down.
The high
Happy, euphoric and energetic, with focus and creativity sharpened through the day. The record's phrase is a plant that keeps on giving, and the effect earns it — a lift that stays active and clear rather than tipping into weight. At 18% THC it is a proper kick for those who want one, and a poor choice for anyone hoping to sit still.
Growing it
Flowering runs a patient 75 days, the sativa lean asking for its due. Height ranges widely, 90 to 170cm, so keep an eye on the taller end and give her room to stretch if she takes it. Yields sit at a solid 500 g/m². A straightforward grow for the reward on offer — let the long flower finish properly and the bright, resinous buds fill out. Not a plant to rush toward the chop.
