This sativa dominant hybrid, originated in 'The Big Apple'. 'NY Sour Diesel' is the complete package of a flower. Giving you access to both relaxation and euphoria. What better place to find that, than in the city that never sleeps. 'NY Sour Diesel' is a cross between Mexican sativa and Afghani landrace. (A landrace is a variety of cannabis plants that have been grown in the environment of its native land.)

This flower has a striking lime green color, accented by pale orange hairs and frosty trichomes, dusting its bud. It's appearance couldn't be more perfect for its complex flavors. Expect light notes of tart citrus, similar to red grapefruit and zesty limes but, before you reach the fruitiness, expect a nice strong gas/diesel aroma with spicy undertones. Although it's flavors are similar to 'Sour Diesel', it's known to be smoother and sweeter.

This is a flower you can depend on, to get your mind right for the day. This bud is a great morning or afternoon strain. 'NY Sour Diesel' is powerful, so toke responsibility. You can count on it to help you be social and friendly, without overwhelming your senses with too much energy. Considering it is a hybrid, you should also expect some effects that come from its indica side, such as a slight laziness or a need to sit and rest. This is most common for new users though. If you're a veteran smoker this is a great 'wake and bake' strain but if you're new on your cannabis journey, my advice is, just toke slowly and be patient, until you reach your desired effects.


Like with most bud, expect the dry mouth and dry eyes. You should make sure to have your snacks close by as well as fresh water on hand, because it will initiate the "munchies" and cottonmouth, as expected.

'NY Sour Diesel' is most commonly consumed by patients who are searching for relief of stress, anxiety, or depression. It is known to also help with those struggling with appetite loss or weight loss.

It's mild indica effects can make mild to moderate chronic pain more manageable as well.
