NY Purple Diesel
Also known as: NYPD, New York Purple Diesel
NY Purple Diesel Strain Overview
NY Purple Diesel is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged from the East Coast cannabis scene, specifically associated with New York's underground breeding culture. The strain represents a carefully crafted combination of genetics that brings together the cerebral effects of sativa-dominant strains with the physical relaxation of indica varieties. While its exact origins are somewhat undocumented in formal breeding records, it is widely recognized within enthusiast circles as a distinct phenotype that gained popularity through clone-only distribution before eventually becoming available through select seed banks.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds that display a distinctive color palette. The flowers typically exhibit deep purple hues interwoven with vibrant green calyxes, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. Orange pistils provide contrasting accents throughout the bud structure. The name reflects both its geographic association and its aromatic profile, combining the diesel fuel notes characteristic of many East Coast strains with the purple coloration that develops under certain growing conditions.
NY Purple Diesel has gained recognition for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain's genetics have been stabilized over time, though some variation can still be found between different growers' expressions of the cultivar. It represents an example of regional breeding efforts that successfully combined desirable traits from multiple established strains to create something with unique characteristics.

NY Purple Diesel Strain Growing Information
NY Purple Diesel is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over the temperature conditions that encourage purple coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height, with indica-dominant structure but some sativa stretching during flowering. Preferred growing conditions include consistent temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) with moderate humidity levels. The purple pigmentation is most pronounced when nighttime temperatures drop by 10-15°F (5-8°C) during the final weeks of flowering.
Special considerations include providing adequate support for the dense buds during late flowering and maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
