NYPD

New York Power Diesel , also known as NYPD, is a unique cannabis strain characterized by its distinctive blend of sativa and indica characteristics. Originating in New York, this strain has garnered an international following thanks to its uplifting and energetic high and distinctive aroma. NYPD is a cross whose exact genetics are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but is believed to contain strong sativa strains, which is reflected in its effects and growth habit.

Effect

NYPD is known for its powerful and uplifting effects, making it an excellent choice for daytime use. The energetic euphoria is ideal for creative endeavors, social interactions, or simply to get a motivational boost. The high sets in quickly and brings with it a cheerful mood and increased alertness. Patients who use medical cannabis often turn to it to treat stress, depression, and fatigue, thanks to its invigorating effects.

Taste/smell

The aroma of NYPD is truly unique and can best be described as a combination of sharp, diesel-like notes with a hint of citrus. When burned, the flower tends to release a more intense scent that can linger in the air for a long time. The flavor largely follows the aroma, but also offers sweet undertones that round out the experience and make for a pleasant smoke.

THC content

The THC content of NYPD can be described as moderate to high, with most samples ranging between 17% and 22%. This potent THC content contributes significantly to the strong and long-lasting effects that make this strain so popular.

Cultivation

NYPD is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, although experienced growers often prefer outdoor cultivation to achieve the full potential of its flavors and yield. The plant can grow quite tall, especially outdoors, which is an indication of its sativa-dominant genetics. Flowering time indoors is approximately 9-10 weeks and requires careful observation to determine the optimal harvest time. This strain is known for its resistance to pests and mold, making it a good choice for less experienced growers. However, like all cannabis species, it requires attention and care to reach its full potential.
