NYC Diesel Auto
Also known as: NYC Diesel Automatic, New York City Diesel Autoflowering
NYC Diesel Auto Strain Overview
NYC Diesel Auto is an autoflowering version of the classic NYC Diesel strain, developed to provide the distinctive characteristics of its photoperiod parent while offering the convenience of automatic flowering. This strain traces its lineage back to the original NYC Diesel, which itself is believed to be a cross between Mexican Sativa and Afghani genetics, though the exact parentage remains somewhat disputed among cannabis historians. The autoflowering trait was introduced through breeding with Ruderalis genetics, allowing the plant to flower based on age rather than light cycle changes.
The strain is characterized by its sativa-dominant growth pattern, producing medium-tall plants with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light to medium green in color with occasional orange pistils. The buds are often coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. NYC Diesel Auto maintains the distinctive aroma profile of its parent strain, featuring a complex blend of citrus, fuel, and earthy notes that has made NYC Diesel famous in cannabis circles.
As an autoflowering variety, this strain offers several advantages for cultivators, including faster harvest times and the ability to grow in various light conditions without requiring specific photoperiod manipulation. However, it retains the cerebral, energizing effects that have made NYC Diesel a favorite among sativa enthusiasts. The autoflowering version has gained popularity particularly among home growers and those in regions with shorter growing seasons who want to experience the classic NYC Diesel effects with greater cultivation flexibility.

NYC Diesel Auto Strain Growing Information
NYC Diesel Auto is considered a moderately easy strain to grow, suitable for both novice and experienced cultivators. The plants typically reach heights of 80-120 cm indoors and 100-150 cm outdoors. Flowering time is approximately 9-11 weeks from seed to harvest, with the autoflowering genetics eliminating the need for light cycle manipulation. Expected yields are moderate, with indoor growers typically harvesting 350-450 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 50-150 grams per plant.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor growers should provide good air circulation and moderate humidity control to prevent mold. NYC Diesel Auto responds well to training techniques like Low Stress Training (LST) but should not be topped due to its autoflowering nature and limited vegetative period. The plants are generally resistant to common pests and diseases, though proper nutrient management is important as autoflowers have a shorter lifecycle and less time to recover from deficiencies or excesses.
