Nirvana
The New York Power Diesel (NYPD) is an indoor power strain
with a radical mix of Sativa Mexicana father and Afghan/Dutch
indica mama. The Nirvana addition to the diesel family stays
close to the New York variant. NYPD is an F1 hybrid that is
balanced but sativa-dominant, with potential for gardeners and
home breeders. Its mother plant, the Aurora Indica is a
combination of Northern Lights and an Afghan strain that was
stabilized especially for use in this cross. The heavy, greasy
narcotic effects of the Aurora Indica beautifully cut the edge of
the crispy, speedy Oaxacan sativa father known as Eldorado.
The resulting terpenoids have a powerful diesel aroma with a
lemon-edged fuel flavor.
NYPD grows tall because the sativa influence creates
moderate spacing in the internodes and long stems. The
branches are lanky but sturdy and are neither spare nor
profuse, allowing the grower to decide which direction to take
the gardening setup. Soil and organics maximize the aromas,
but these plants are pretty dank and smelly in the grow space
regardless. The dark green calyxes form chains of big popcorn
buds that are surprisingly tight in structure. Hairs turn red
toward maturity. NYPD yields are good—in a sea of green with
600-watt lights, gardeners can expect between 350 and 450
grams per square meter.
The New York Power Diesel is a blissful, balanced, and
relaxing buzz that makes great campfire joints. It is a treat to
smoke, starting with a clear, enjoyable transition and bringing
a mixture of earthiness and lemon zing, over a recognizable
deep note of diesel acridity. This buzz brings out a sense of
calm, wonder, and sensory awareness. It can enhance
discernment and pleasures. NYPD makes one notice the subtle
flavors of foods, the enjoyment of the smells, sights, and sounds
of the outdoors, and has potential as an aphrodisiac.
