ONYCD Strain Overview
ONYCD, commonly known as NYC Diesel or New York City Diesel, is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that gained prominence in the early 2000s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis cultivation circles, but most accounts trace it to the East Coast of the United States, specifically the New York City area where it was reportedly developed by breeders seeking to create a strain with distinctive diesel-like aromas and potent cerebral effects. Some sources suggest it may be a phenotype of the original Sour Diesel, while others claim it represents a distinct genetic line that was stabilized and popularized by underground breeders in the metropolitan region.
The strain is characterized by its elongated, dense buds that typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues and a generous coating of trichomes. The nugs are often accented with fiery orange pistils that create a visually striking contrast. ONYCD's most notable feature is its powerful aromatic profile, which combines pungent diesel fuel notes with undertones of citrus and earthiness. This distinctive scent profile has made it easily recognizable among cannabis connoisseurs and has contributed to its enduring popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis communities.
ONYCD is particularly valued for its balanced yet potent effects that begin with an immediate cerebral rush before settling into a more relaxed physical state. The strain's effects are typically described as clear-headed and energizing, making it suitable for daytime use. Its relatively high THC content, combined with its complex terpene profile, has established ONYCD as a benchmark strain for those seeking the classic 'diesel' experience. The strain has maintained consistent popularity over the years and has been used in breeding programs to create numerous hybrid varieties.

ONYCD Strain Growing Information
ONYCD is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors, and it adapts well to both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants tend to grow tall (5-7 feet outdoors, 3-5 feet indoors) and require regular pruning and training to manage height and promote lateral growth. ONYCD is resistant to most common molds and pests but benefits from good air circulation and humidity control during flowering. The strain responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) techniques to maximize yield.
