NYC Jones
Also known as: NYC Jones Sour, NYC Diesel Jones
NYC Jones Strain Overview
NYC Jones is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily cultivated and distributed within the New York City metropolitan area. The strain represents a cross between NYC Diesel, a classic East Coast sativa-dominant hybrid, and an unknown Jones phenotype, likely referencing a variant of the popular Casey Jones strain. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that captures the cerebral stimulation of its NYC Diesel parent while incorporating more relaxing indica characteristics from the Jones lineage. The strain gained a cult following among East Coast cannabis enthusiasts for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects.
Visually, NYC Jones typically displays dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. The flowers are often heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance that hints at their potency. The strain's aroma is complex and layered, combining fuel-like diesel notes with citrus undertones and earthy pine accents. Growers note that NYC Jones plants tend to be medium in height with a branching structure that benefits from training techniques to maximize light exposure and yield.
While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, NYC Jones maintains regional significance as an example of localized strain development. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for both daytime and evening use, depending on individual tolerance and consumption method. The strain's rarity outside its native region contributes to its mystique among cannabis connoisseurs who value unique, regionally-specific genetics.

NYC Jones Strain Growing Information
NYC Jones 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 mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter with proper care. Outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield potential.
