New York Power Diesel, or NYPD, is a sativa-dominant hybrid by Nirvana Seeds that will leave you with a completely balanced high, bringing all the funk and attitude of the Big Apple herself. By crossing Aurora Indica and El Dorado, users will be blessed with the spiciness of her Mexican heritage and the stinky aromas of her indica roots.

Because of this strain’s wide sweeping THC range, anywhere from 15% to 24% is considered average, you can expect a nice blend of upper and downer effects without the lethargy that often comes with heady highs. These spade-shaped deep green nugs boast an aroma rich in citrus, diesel, and sugar. If you’re a diesel fan, NYPD is your gal.

This is an instant high that hits all the happy go lucky notes right off the bat. Users can look forward to a long rolling buzz that starts in your fingers and moves through to your head, bringing you up and dipping your toes in energy without causing any racing thoughts or overt adrenaline. Conversely, you can plan to feel relaxed and a bit flighty, but not out of it as some strains can make you feel. Enjoy this tangy smoke for a burst of creativity and clarity.

Because this bud is so great for cleansing your mind and bringing on an immediate relaxative state, users love it for relief from stress or depression. Other mood disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, and the like can also benefit from this strain, though it has been known to cause minor dizzy spells or agitate anxiety if used in excess, and therefore may not be recommended for users who suffer from anxiety or PTSD. Those who struggle with muscle spasms, cramps, or chronic pain have enjoyed instant relief from ongoing symptoms related to those conditions.

Growing this plant may be its one and only drawback if you are a novice user with less than a green thumb. Recommended for intermediate level cultivators and above, this bud has a flowering period of 8 to 10 weeks and will produce an above-average yield in the right conditions. NYPD is good for indoor or outdoor systems, though because of its pungent odor many people suggest using a smell proof system.

If a balanced high that will leave you feeling uplifted and clear-headed is what you desire, you’ve come to the right bud. NYPD offers a joyful, creative experience filled with body tingles and inspiring bursts of energy without getting your heart racing or your thoughts jumping over each other. Enjoy it at any time of day at any experience level and marvel at how good you feel.
