NYC Chem
Also known as: NYC Chemdawg, NYC Diesel Chem
NYC Chem Strain Overview
NYC Chem is a hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two legendary East Coast varieties: NYC Diesel and Chemdawg. This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the cerebral, uplifting qualities of NYC Diesel with the potent, fuel-like characteristics of Chemdawg. The result is a strain that captures the essence of New York City's underground cannabis culture while delivering a balanced yet powerful experience.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by fiery orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. NYC Chem is known for its distinctive aroma profile that combines diesel fuel notes with citrus undertones and earthy pine accents. The flavor follows a similar pattern, with a complex blend of chemical, citrus, and herbal notes that lingers on the palate.
NYC Chem has gained recognition for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has maintained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients in legal markets, though it remains relatively rare compared to its parent strains. Growers appreciate NYC Chem for its moderate cultivation difficulty and reliable performance when provided with proper care and attention.

NYC Chem Strain Growing Information
NYC Chem is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. This strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be regulated. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-180 cm, with some phenotypes showing more sativa-like stretching. NYC Chem benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light penetration and air circulation. The strain is moderately resistant to common pests and mold but requires good ventilation to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
