New York City Feminized Seeds by Pyramid Seeds – Citrus-Smelling Sativa for Creative Energy

New York City feminized seeds by Pyramid Seeds offer a vibrant sativa experience defined by a sharp citrus aroma and a clean, energizing high that sparks creativity and keeps you moving. This is your go-to strain for daytime inspiration and flavorful, resin-rich harvests.

Feeling like your current strain just drags you down instead of lifting you up? You’re not alone. Many sativas promise energy but deliver anxiety or uneven burns. Others smell like fuel and nothing else, missing the bright, refreshing notes that make cannabis enjoyable during the day.

That lack of balance can leave you stuck in a cycle of either couch-lock or overstimulation — never quite hitting that sweet spot between focus and euphoria. And if you're growing, dealing with mold-prone plants or inconsistent yields only adds stress instead of relief.

New York City feminized seeds solve that. With a perfectly tuned 70% sativa dominance and a flowering time of just 75 days, this strain delivers a smooth, purely cerebral effect without the jitters. Its unforgettable lemon-citrus aroma cuts through the haze, and its natural resistance to mold makes it a reliable performer whether you're growing in a closet or under the sun.

Less Clutter, More Clarity in Your Grow

Forget juggling multiple finicky strains. New York City simplifies your grow with resilience and consistency. It thrives in hydroponic systems, soil, and even challenging outdoor conditions, reducing the need for constant monitoring or chemical interventions. Its compact yet airy structure means easier maintenance and better airflow — fewer tools, fewer problems.

What You Can Simplify Once You Have It

Switching to New York City means streamlining your grow and your experience. You no longer need:

• Multiple anti-fungal sprays — its natural mold resistance reduces dependency on additives
• Heavy-duty odor control — its citrus scent is pleasant, not overpowering
• Multiple sativa strains for energy — this one delivers reliable, balanced stimulation
• Extended flowering periods — ready by late October in Europe
• Constant pH adjustments — it adapts well to standard growing media
• Different lighting schedules for different plants — 18/6 during veg, 12/12 in flower

Advice on how to grow the seed

Quick overview: feminized sativa from Positronics, 75-day flower, moderate difficulty, ideal for indoor and outdoor setups.

Safe start: Germinate in a moist, dark environment at 22–25 °C.

• Use starter cubes or paper towels for high success rates
• Transplant carefully when the taproot reaches ~1 cm (0.39 in)
• Ensure pots have good drainage to prevent overwatering
• Consider adding RootStimulator HY-PRO to boost early root development

Stable seedling: Maintain humidity at 60–70% and gentle lighting.

• Use CFL or low-power LEDs during first week
• Water lightly, letting topsoil dry between sessions
• Keep pH between 6.0–6.5 in soil
• Avoid nutrients in first 10–14 days

Directed growth: Switch to 18/6 light cycle for strong vegetative development.

• Move to final pot early — 11–20 L depending on space
• Apply Alg-A-Mic BioBizz every 2–3 waterings for greener leaves
• Use LST to control height and increase light exposure
• Ensure airflow with oscillating fans to strengthen stems

Efficient flowering: Switch to 12/12 light cycle to trigger bloom.

• Reduce humidity to 40–50% to prevent mold
• Support branches as buds gain weight
• Use bloom boosters like Carboload Advanced Nutrients in mid-flower
• Monitor trichomes: harvest when mostly milky for energetic effect

Harvest and refinement: Flush 7–10 days before harvest for cleaner smoke.

• Dry slowly at 18–20 °C (64–68 °F) and 50–60% RH
• Cure in glass jars for 2–4 weeks, burping daily
• Store in a cool, dark place to preserve terpenes
• Enjoy the full citrus punch and creative spark

Frequently Asked Questions

Is New York City good for beginners?

It’s moderate in difficulty — great for growers with some experience. Its mold resistance helps, but it does stretch during pre-flower, so space planning is key.

Can I grow New York City outdoors in a humid climate?

Absolutely. Its high resistance to mold makes it one of the best sativas for humid or temperate regions. Just ensure good airflow and spacing.

Does it really smell like lemon?

Yes — the dominant terpene is limonene, giving it a sharp, fresh citrus aroma that’s noticeable even during growth.

What’s the best way to maximize yield?

Use SCROG or LST during veg, provide strong lighting (720W LED), and maintain stable climate. With expert care, you can reach up to 850 g/1.5m².

Is this strain suitable for daytime use?

Perfect for it. The effect is purely cerebral — energizing, creative, and non-sedating, making it ideal for work, art, or social moments.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown dozens of sativas, but New York City stands out for its reliability and character. I first tried it in a mixed grow with three other photoperiod strains, and it was the only one that made it through a humid August without a single mold spot. The buds were airy but dense with resin, and the smell when trimming? Pure lemon zest with a diesel kick — unforgettable.

I run a 600W HPS setup, and with proper LST, I got 780 grams from 1.5 square meters. I used Aqua Flores A+B for flowering and flushed for nine days. The high is clean, uplifting, and lasts for hours — my go-to for writing, brainstorming, or just staying present during long days. If you want a sativa that performs as well as it tastes, this is it.
