NYCOG
Also known as: NYC Diesel OG, NYC Diesel x OG Kush
NYCOG Strain Overview
NYCOG is a hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossbreeding of NYC Diesel and OG Kush, two iconic strains in cannabis culture. The strain was developed to combine the cerebral, energetic effects of NYC Diesel with the deeply relaxing, full-body stone of OG Kush. While its exact origin is somewhat debated within cannabis communities, it is generally accepted to have emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a balanced hybrid with strong flavor profiles and versatile effects. The strain gained popularity on the East Coast of the United States, particularly in the New York metropolitan area, before spreading to other markets.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that exhibit a complex visual appearance. The flowers often display a forest green base color with occasional purple hues brought out by cooler temperatures during cultivation. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are usually medium to large in size and have a tight, compact structure indicative of its OG Kush heritage. The strain's aroma is immediately noticeable upon opening a container, filling the space with its distinctive scent profile.
NYCOG is noted for its balanced genetic profile, typically leaning slightly toward the indica side (approximately 60% indica/40% sativa) despite its sativa-dominant parent. This balance makes it a versatile strain suitable for various times of day. The strain has maintained consistent popularity due to its reliable effects and complex flavor experience. While not as widely commercially produced as some mainstream hybrids, it remains a favorite among connoisseurs and medical users who appreciate its specific combination of attributes.

NYCOG Strain Growing Information
NYCOG 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 the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-6 feet, making them manageable for most grow spaces. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Training techniques like topping and low-stress training can help maximize yields and light penetration.
