Auto New York City CBD by Pyramid Seeds
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto New York City CBD by Pyramid Seeds is an autoflowering hybrid developed to offer the characteristic citrus-diesel profile of New York City genetics with significantly reduced psychoactivity due to its elevated CBD content. This strain is designed for daytime usability, providing a clear-headed experience.
Appearance
This autoflowering hybrid typically grows to a compact or medium height, between 70-110 cm indoors, depending on cultivation conditions. Plants often develop a strong main cola with several symmetrical side branches, particularly when grown in containers of 11-15 liters and provided with minimal training. The buds are generally conical or spear-shaped with a moderately dense structure, featuring pale green calyxes that mature to deeper greens with amber-orange pistils. Trichome coverage is notable for a CBD-focused auto, giving the buds a frosty appearance as harvest approaches.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Auto New York City CBD is characterized by a bright, citrus-forward profile, often described as lemon zest and grapefruit, with underlying diesel and peppery notes. As the plant matures, herbal undertones may emerge, contributing to a complex bouquet. Upon curing, the scent typically presents with lemon-lime top notes, a subtle diesel hint, and a peppery finish. The flavor follows the aroma, with prominent notes of candied lemon, grapefruit pith, and a mild fuel streak. Vaporizing at different temperatures can accentuate various notes, from sweet citrus to more herbal and woody undertones.
Effects
Auto New York City CBD is known for producing a clear-headed and functional effect profile, making it suitable for daytime use. The strain is designed to offer a balanced experience, minimizing strong psychoactive effects while providing a sense of focus. Consumers may find it helpful for managing fatigue and discomfort.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
While specific percentages vary, Auto New York City CBD is bred for a CBD-forward cannabinoid profile, with CBD typically present in higher concentrations than THC. THC levels are generally low, often falling below the threshold for significant intoxication. The terpene profile is notable for its prominent limonene, contributing to the citrus aroma, alongside caryophyllene, humulene, terpinolene, and ocimene, which add complexity with notes of pepper, wood, pine, and herbal characteristics.
Growing
As an autoflowering strain, Auto New York City CBD completes its life cycle from seed to harvest in approximately 70-85 days. It is suitable for indoor cultivation and can be grown in various environments, performing well under LED lighting. The plant's architecture is generally tidy, making it adaptable for dense gardens or sea-of-green setups. Its autoflowering nature allows for continuous cultivation without strict light cycle management for flowering.
Origins and Lineage
