NY Mayhem
Also known as: New York Mayhem
NY Mayhem Strain Overview
NY Mayhem is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention in the New York cannabis scene and beyond. While its exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cultivators, it is generally believed to be a cross between New York Diesel and another potent hybrid strain, though some sources suggest it may incorporate genetics from Chemdawg or OG Kush lineages. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a variety that captured the energetic, cerebral qualities of sativas while maintaining the physical relaxation associated with indicas.
The strain's name reflects both its geographic association with New York and its reported effects, which users describe as creating a sense of controlled chaos or energetic focus. NY Mayhem typically produces medium to large buds with a dense structure, often displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast against the darker foliage.
Notable characteristics of NY Mayhem include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its versatility and reliable performance. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, NY Mayhem has developed a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in the northeastern United States where it continues to be cultivated and refined by local growers.

NY Mayhem Strain Growing Information
NY Mayhem is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting or a Mediterranean-like outdoor climate. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. NY Mayhem is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation and humidity control during flowering. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and may display color changes (purple hues) when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
