How to grow NY Diesel Autoflower
Taste
Seb's take
New York City Diesel crossed onto Ruderalis for an autoflowering, feminized shortcut to the famous original. Sativa-dominant with a mood-lifting, energy-replenishing effect suited equally to a working day or recovering from the night before. Fifteen percent THC keeps it useful rather than incapacitating.
Where it comes from
New York City Diesel crossed onto Ruderalis — Herbies Seeds' autoflowering, feminized shortcut to the famous original. The Ruderalis brings the self-flowering habit and the ease; NYC Diesel brings the fuel-forward, sativa-leaning character it is known for. A sensible way to grow a classic without the light schedule. The city's plant, made simpler.
Nose & flavour
The record keeps the tasting notes brief, but NYC Diesel is a well-known quantity — expect the sour, fuel-forward character with a fruit edge that made the parent famous. The diesel note tends not to travel discreetly, autoflowering format or not. A pungent, recognisable profile carried faithfully into the quicker plant.
The high
Sativa-dominant and mood-lifting — the record frames her as equally suited to a working day, a party, or recovering from the night before. At 15% THC she is useful rather than incapacitating, an energising sort of lift that keeps you upright and moving. A versatile daytime effect, delivered without much weight.
Growing it
An easy, feminized autoflower standing 60 to 90cm and finishing across 70 to 77 days — a slightly longer run for an auto, in keeping with the sativa heritage. Yields are heavy for the type, at 610 g/m². She grows the famous classic the easy way, as the record puts it, asking little of the grower in return for a generous haul. A compact, productive shortcut to a well-loved name.
