Overview

Also, as the cerebral effects wear off, it’s easy to drift off into a deep state of relaxation.
Growing info
Given the strong diesel aroma of this strain, if you plan to grow it indoors make sure to have the proper odor eliminating equipment. The smell can get super strong as the buds start to flower. NYC Diesel does really well in a controlled environment, but it can grow outdoors too if you live in a warm and dry climate. It has a late harvest at the end of October to early November, so the warm climate and lack of moisture that time of year are crucial. On average, the flowering time runs about 10 to 12 weeks and the plants yield around 500 to 600 grams per M2.
Appearance and Aroma

It’s a pungent tangy surprise for your senses.

"Not as harsh as youd think"
Review by Dash
A clear relative to Sour Diesel, this strain has a strong stench but a contradicting light aromatic burn. Personally it makes me peaceful and tranquil, and calming effects. Try new things while using this strain, music, movies, theater, art. Go for a walk in the park. Will not make you paranoid, just dizzy
