New York City is a feminised strain from Pyramid Seeds, leaning strongly towards sativa with roughly seven parts sativa to three parts indica. Its aroma is bright and citrusy, with lemony notes and a fresh, hazy character that appeals to sativa fans. THC sits between 18 and 20 per cent, while CBD is classed as low. The breeder gives a flowering time of around 68 days under LED lights, and outdoor plants are typically ready in the fourth week of October in the northern hemisphere. Reported effects include a cerebral, uplifting high with euphoria, creativity and a stimulating, clear feel that suits active daytime hours. The plant is rated as moderate to grow and shows good resistance to mould. Yields are quoted at around 500 g per square metre indoors, rising to 800 to 850 g from 1.5 square metres under a 720 W LED, and 500 g to 1.5 kg per plant outdoors. Plants are listed at 90 to 170 cm indoors, making this a useful choice for growers who want a sativa-dominant plant with a vibrant profile.
