• Stays compact at 0.60–1.30 m (2.0–4.3 ft), ideal for stealth grows or limited spaces.
• Boasts a sharp citrus-lemon aroma with diesel undertones—pungent, fresh, and unmistakably urban.
• Resistant to mold and pests, making it a top pick for humid climates or beginner growers.
• Delivers a clear-headed, creative high—18–20% THC with no couch-lock.

Who this strain is especially interesting for

Whether you're upgrading your setup or starting your first grow, Auto New York City fits like a key in a lock.

• Growers who want fast, reliable harvests without sacrificing quality.
• Urban cultivators working in tight spaces or discreet environments.

How to integrate it into your routine without overcomplicating things

Start with a 20L pot and quality soil—no need to overthink it. Keep the light cycle at 18/6 or 20/4, water when the top inch feels dry, and let the Ruderalis genes do the rest. For stronger roots from day one, pairing it with RootStimulator HY-PRO cuts transplant shock and boosts early vigor. During flowering, a simple bloom booster like FloraBloom GHE maximizes resin and density without nutrient chaos.

How to grow Auto New York City for maximum yield

Optimized for speed and simplicity, this guide gets you from seed to harvest with confidence.

Quick overview

Autoflowering · Pyramid Seeds · 9–10 week cycle · ideal for indoor, outdoor, or stealth grows.

• Fast finish with high resistance to mold and pests.
• Best in 18–27L pots with well-draining soil or coco.
• Thrives under 18–20h light; no photoperiod switch needed.
• Pair with Dinafem Seeds for genetic diversity in your rotation.

Safe start

Germinate with confidence and set roots right.

• Soak seeds 12–24h in pH-balanced water (6.0–6.5).
• Use starter cubes or direct soil planting at 2–3 cm depth.
• Keep RH at 60–70% and temps at 22–25 °C.
• Transplant once the second set of true leaves appear.
• RootStimulator HY-PRO boosts early root mass and resilience.

Directed growth

Steer your plant toward strong structure and branching.

• Use 18–20h light cycle from day one.
• Water lightly—let topsoil dry slightly between sessions.
• Apply mild vegetative nutrients after week 2.
• Start LST early to open canopy and increase bud sites.
• Avoid topping after week 3—autos don’t recover fast.

Efficient flowering

Maximize resin, density, and aroma in the final stretch.

• Flowering starts automatically—no light switch needed.
• Reduce RH to 40–50% to prevent mold on dense buds.
• Switch to bloom nutrients at week 4.
• Add FloraBloom GHE at peak flowering for heavier colas.
• Support branches if needed—colas get heavy under 600W LED.

Harvest and refinement

Nail the timing and preserve the quality.

• Harvest when 70% of trichomes are milky, 30% amber for balanced effect.
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest to improve taste.
• Dry at 18–20 °C and 50–60% RH for 7–10 days.
• Cure in glass jars for 2–4 weeks, burping daily.
• Store in airtight containers away from light and heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Auto New York City take to harvest?

From seed to harvest, it takes 9–10 weeks. Indoors, it flowers in 63–70 days under LED. Outdoors, it’s ready in about 10 weeks, depending on climate.

Is Auto New York City good for beginners?

Absolutely. Its mold resistance, fast cycle, and forgiving nature make it a top choice for new growers. Just keep the basics right—light, water, and airflow—and it’ll reward you.

Does it smell strong during flowering?

Yes, it has a pungent citrus-diesel aroma. If discretion is key, use a carbon filter like those in our Autoflowering Seeds grow kits to control odor.

Can I grow it outdoors in a cold climate?

It handles temperate climates well but thrives in Mediterranean or warm conditions. Avoid cold, wet environments—while resistant, prolonged exposure increases risk.

What’s the best way to increase yield?

Use LST early, provide strong light (600W LED), and feed with a quality bloom booster. A 20–27L pot gives roots room to fuel bigger yields.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown dozens of autos, but Auto New York City stands out. I used to run photoperiods—more control, more hassle. But with this one, I planted it on a whim in a 20L fabric pot with my standard coco mix, gave it 20/4 light, and forgot about it for weeks. Came back to a bushy, resin-coated plant at 1.10 m (3.6 ft), smelling like a NYC bodega in summer—lemon, diesel, and attitude. I harvested 580 g/m² under a 630W LED, which is insane for an auto. No mold, no nutrient burn, no stress. I now recommend it to anyone who wants quality without the babysitting. Pair it with Royal Queen Seeds for a full-season rotation that never disappoints.
