Description
NEW YORK CITY DIESEL
NEW YORK CITY DIESEL, often shortened to NYC Diesel, is a sativa dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by Soma Seeds through a cross of Mexican and Afghani landrace genetics. This decorated cultivar earned multiple High Times Cannabis Cup wins in the early 2000s, building a lasting reputation among enthusiasts. With THC levels typically ranging from 18-24%, NYC DIESEL delivers an uplifting, cerebral high that stays clear and functional rather than overwhelming.
The buds are airy and lime green with copper coloured pistils, coated in a generous layer of resin. NYC DIESEL’s signature is its bright ruby red grapefruit aroma layered over a sharp diesel exhale, driven by a terpene profile led by caryophyllene alongside limonene and myrcene, creating a distinctive citrus forward experience that stands apart from heavier fuel dominant diesel strains.
