NYC Diesel (was Hey Abby)

Natrona Hey Abby and SeedSupreme sponsored PIMP MY GROW contest. This contest documented progress, challenges, and reflections on how you would "pimp your grow" with better tools and seeds. I won a Hey Abby soil edition grow box and seeds from SeedSupreme. My Love Potion diary is linked if you want to take a look. https://growdiaries.com/diaries/249893-weedseedsexpress-love-potion-autoflower-seeds-grow-journal-by-natrona Hey Abby recommends indica, indica dominant or autoflower strains as they stay short. I selected New York City Diesel autoflower. Even though this strain is a sativa dominant, she is supposed to stay short. Plan for this grow is to learn and evaluate the equipment and keep plant training to a minimum. Basically, I will defoliate and LST train only as necessary. I soaked the seed overnight in a glass of water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide, then placed about 1/2 inch into the root riot cube on the 9/17 and popped soil on 9/19. The 1/2 inch deep ensures the seed cap comes off when it pushes thru the soil. Hey Abby Equipment includes the grow box, lights built into the ceiling, 2 carbon filters, a watering can, a .5-gallon seed bag and a 3-gallon grow bag that fits the bottom compartment. Below the bag location, is a reservoir to catch to the runoff and a removable drawer to empty. It also came with a 6-month support and subscription service. Note I received the grow box in July and they started the subscription countdown on receipt. I contacted them that I just started my first grow and to start the subscription now. I’ll see what they say. The grow box is connected and controlled by an app for either Apple or Android. Once connected, it asks if you’re growing auto or photo, seed or clone and sets the parameters accordingly. They also have a discord community of users. I did not get the soil mix they recommended, I’m using Fox Farm Happy Frog supplemented with earth worm casting.

Though 60% Sativa-dominant, the Indica side of this herb manifests as a mild and subtle numbing sensation that spreads throughout the body. For seasoned smokers, this is likely yet another part of the enjoyment, though for newer users, it might incline you towards taking a seat and slight feelings of laziness. Like every strain, NYC Diesel Auto isn’t without a (very slight) downside. Some adverse side effects are a possibility, including dry, red eyes and cottonmouth. Both caused by dehydration, drinking plenty of water is the best way to avoid such an occurrence. Since this strain has a high THC level, those sensitive to such things and new to cannabis consumption should be warned of NYC Diesel Auto’s potency.

Indoor growers will find her height is nice and manageable, and she rarely growers much bigger than 1.5 feet - so she’s ideal for growing on windowsills and balconies.

She tends to yield between 0.98 to 1.15 ounces of glorious green nugs per square foot, but when grown outdoors this can improve - closer to 3.5 to 5.25 ounces per plant. ____________________________________ Summary Bred from well-known landrace strains and mixed in with some good ol’ Sour D, this autoflowering variant of NYC Diesel takes wake-and-bake strains to another level.
