New York City Diesel

New York City Diesel is one of the best-known and most distinctive genetics from Soma's breeding work. The history of the strain leads back to New York, where Soma obtained the original genetic through a friend. From this, he eventually developed his own N.Y.C. Diesel, which over the years became one of the great classics of his range and became particularly well known for its exceptional aroma.

The unmistakable hallmark of New York City Diesel is its exceptionally intense scent. Ripe red grapefruit and other citrus notes are clearly at the forefront and combine with the powerful, exotic Diesel character of the strain. The aroma can become so dominant even on the fresh plant that other genetics in its immediate surroundings are barely noticeable.

This exceptional combination also continues in the flavour. Fruity and sour grapefruit meets the distinctive Diesel influence and creates an intense, long-lasting and recognisable flavour profile. It is precisely this combination of exotic fruitiness and powerful Diesel aroma that has contributed significantly to N.Y.C. Diesel becoming one of Soma's best-known strains.

Anyone who finds this legendary genetic interesting can also take a look at the New York City Diesel by ApeOrigin. ApeOrigin also offers an interesting variant of this famous cannabis classic.

• Soma Seeds: a lifetime in breeding

Soma Seeds, also called Soma’s Sacred Seeds, goes back to the early seventies. The guy behind it, Soma, was not always in cannabis. He once worked at IBM. Later he ran a vegetarian restaurant and even a bakery. Growing plants came later, but he always lived in a way that leaned natural and organic. That carried over into how he breeds seeds too. It is just how he works.
