Auto New York City: Sativa in an Autoflowering Format

Auto New York City by Pyramid Seeds stands out for its unusually strong sativa dominance for autoflowering genetics: the manufacturer states a ratio of approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica. The seeds are feminized and autoflowering. According to the manufacturer's materials, the strain contains 18-20% THC, while its CBD level is described as low.

Origin and Genetic Profile

Auto New York City is based on the New York City line adapted to an autoflowering format. The breeding concept is fairly straightforward: to preserve the predominantly sativa character of the original genetics while adding automatically triggered flowering.

According to the original specifications provided by Pyramid Seeds, the plant develops a relatively compact growth habit for sativa genetics. The manufacturer specifies an indoor height of around 60-120 cm. The complete cycle is stated to take approximately 63 days under LED lighting and around 70 days under HPS. These figures should be regarded specifically as breeder specifications: actual plant development depends on environmental conditions and numerous biological factors.

Aromatic Character and Terpenes

The most recognizable feature of Auto New York City is its combination of sharp citrus notes with cool coniferous, herbal and spicy nuances. The stated terpene profile includes limonene, pinene and caryophyllene.

Limonene forms the bright citrus top note of the bouquet. Pinene adds fresh coniferous nuances that make the aroma feel drier and sharper. Caryophyllene works at a deeper level: its peppery, spicy character does not overpower the citrus but instead creates a contrasting background. As a result, the profile cannot be reduced to a simple «lemon» aroma - it has a distinctive haze character with several aromatic layers that unfold one after another.

Reported Psychoactive Properties

For Auto New York City, the manufacturer describes the effects as predominantly stimulating, euphoric and creatively oriented. Such descriptions are subjective characteristics of the strain rather than guaranteed effects: responses to THC vary considerably between individuals and depend, among other factors, on dosage, individual sensitivity and previous experience with cannabis.

With a stated THC content of 18-20%, the strain cannot be considered mild. Psychoactive cannabis can impair attention, coordination and reaction speed, so driving or engaging in other activities where reduced reaction speed could create a hazard should be avoided after consumption.

Main Characteristics

Auto New York City is a feminized autoflowering genetic line with an approximate ratio of 70% sativa to 30% indica. The stated THC content ranges from 18-20%, while CBD is at a low level. Plants typically reach approximately 60-120 cm indoors. The original Pyramid Seeds specifications indicate yields of up to 400 g/m² and, with certain LED configurations, up to 700-750 g from an area of 1.5 m²; outdoors, approximately 70-200 g per plant is stated. These are breeder specification figures rather than guaranteed results.

Pyramid Seeds

Pyramid Seeds is the name of the seed bank identified as the original producer of Auto New York City. When evaluating seed material, it makes sense to distinguish between characteristics stated by the breeder and results reported by individual users: phenotypic variation and plant conditions can noticeably alter observable traits. For this reason, figures for THC content, height, cycle duration and potential yield are more appropriately regarded as reference points for a particular genetic line rather than fixed properties of every individual plant.
