How to grow NYC Diesel
Taste
Seb's take
A family tree assembled from Diesel, Hawaiian, Shiva and Northern Lights genetics, which the breeder admits is more believed than documented. Sour, diesel and grapefruit dominate a nose that only concentrates further as flowering finishes. The high is cerebral and motivating on the inhale, easing into relaxed euphoria by the exhale.
Where it comes from
A family tree assembled from Diesel, Hawaiian, Shiva and Northern Lights, though Zambeza Seeds are honest that the exact recipe is more believed than documented — the record's own word. What is certain is the diversity behind her, and the strong, distinctive genetics it produced. A well-travelled pedigree, half-guessed and wholly effective. The uncertainty, in this case, is part of the character.
Nose & flavour
Sour and diesel-forward, with grapefruit brightening it and a bitter, citrus edge underneath — a nose that only concentrates further as flowering finishes and the terpenes deepen. Whiffs of lime join the grapefruit late on. A sharp, fuel-driven aroma that does not travel discreetly, and grows louder the closer she gets to harvest.
The high
Powerfully cerebral and motivating on the inhale — an inspiring, energising lift to open — before it eases into relaxed euphoria by the exhale. At 19% THC with just a trace of CBD, there is genuine drive to it. A two-part effect that gets you going and then keeps you comfortable. Bright, sociable company rather than a sedative.
Growing it
A medium plant at 120 to 150cm, finishing in around 65 days for a solid 450 to 500 g/m². The terpene profile concentrates markedly in the late stages of flower, so a patient finish is well rewarded on the nose. A manageable, aromatic grow that repays holding your nerve on the harvest date. Give her the extra days and the aroma pays you back for them.
