East Coast diesel sativa — pungent fuel + grapefruit.
NYC Diesel is a Soma Seeds sativa that captured the late-'90s New York scene — Mexican × Afghani genetics with a pungent fuel-and-grapefruit aroma that's unmistakable. Head-up, head-forward, with enough body to keep it from going racey. Sister strain to Sour Diesel.

Aromatic chemistry
Cousins, not twins. Both are Diesel-family sativas from the late-'90s East Coast, but NYC Diesel comes from Soma Seeds and tends to lean more grapefruit-forward. Sour Diesel is more fuel-pungent.
NYC Diesel is a sativa — head-up and uplifted in character, with the energetic profile customers expect from sativa-dominant flower. The lineage is Mexican × Afghani.
NYC Diesel hits diesel up front, grapefruit through the middle, and lime on the exhale. The smell out of the jar reads the same way — distinctive once you've had it once or twice.
NYC Diesel tests in the 16–22% THC range — a moderate, mainstream potency band. Most customers find it predictable without being overwhelming.
NYC Diesel reads as a daytime strain — head-up and uplifted, the kind customers commonly reach for in the morning or early afternoon when there's still a to-do list.
