As the name suggests it has its roots in New York City, NY Diesel is an Sativa dominant hybrid (50% Sativa and 50% Indica) strain with quite an amount of strains thrown in the parental mix , too many to get into right now. The short version of this strains lineage is a cross of the popular Sour Diesel and Afghan and Hawaiian Indicas. The plant produces heavily crystal covered buds with a relatively low density. It has a sweet fruity smell and taste. NY Diesel will give you a complete high, an uplifting cerebral sativa feeling combined with mellow body stone.
NY Diesel can become an absolute giant outside but we recommend to grow this strain indoors to achieve better yields per square meter. Besides a better yield we believe that growing NY Diesel indoors results in a much better taste compared to outdoor growing. For medicinal purposes NY Diesel is mainly used to treat chronic pain and nausea.

Strain FAQ
Why do some cannabis strains taste sweet?
Sweet cannabis strains are flavoured by terpenes, cannabinoids, and other plant ingredients. The mango-like sweetness, citrusy undertones, and spicy sweetness come from terpenes including myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene.
Do 12/12 photoperiod strains have an edge in terpene profiles?
Sometimes, a little stress goes a long way, especially when it comes to pumping up the terpenes in 12/12 photoperiod strains. The stringent light schedule can stress the plants just enough to kick their flavor and aroma profile up a notch!
Why are normal strength strains with 10%–19% THC commonly recommended for legal medical use?
For their balance, legal medical cannabis patients reportedly choose strains in this THC range. They are said to help relieve pain, anxiety, and insomnia without the psychoactivity of higher THC levels. This is said to make them a good choice for people seeking mild relief.
Are there CBD-rich Central Asian cannabis strains?
Yes, many of these strains have high CBD levels despite their high THC levels. They are said to be able to aid medicinal users seeking comfort without strong intoxicating effects.
How does greenhouse cultivation extend the legal growing season for certain cannabis strains?
It is said that the beauty of a greenhouse is in how it lets legal growers play with time, using tricks like extra lighting or shading to stretch the growing season beyond what Mother Nature dictates. This flexibility means strains that would usually get just one shot at harvesting outdoors each year can enjoy multiple cycles. This reportedly results in an increased yield and greater efficiency.
