Also known as: NYC Diesel, NY Diesel
New York Diesel Strain Overview
New York Diesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that originated in New York City during the 1990s. The exact genetic lineage remains somewhat debated among cannabis historians, but most sources agree it descends from a cross between Sour Diesel and an Afghani landrace strain. The strain gained popularity in the underground cannabis scene of New York before spreading to other regions, becoming particularly noted for its distinctive aroma and cerebral effects. Its development is often attributed to local breeders in the New York area who sought to create a strain with the energizing qualities of Sour Diesel but with more complex flavor profiles.
The strain is characterized by its elongated, dense buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues and a generous coating of trichomes. The most distinctive feature of New York Diesel is its pungent aroma, which combines fuel-like diesel notes with citrus undertones, creating a complex olfactory profile that many enthusiasts find appealing. The flavor follows this aromatic profile, with users reporting a smooth smoke that carries through the diesel and citrus notes to a slightly earthy aftertaste.
New York Diesel has maintained popularity due to its balanced effects that provide both mental stimulation and physical relaxation without heavy sedation. The strain typically flowers in 9-11 weeks when grown indoors and produces moderate to high yields. It has become a staple in many dispensaries and is often recommended for daytime use due to its uplifting properties. While primarily known as a recreational strain, many users report therapeutic benefits that have contributed to its enduring appeal in the cannabis community.

New York Diesel is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it better suited for cultivators with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks indoors and can be harvested in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant.
