How to Grow Auto New York City CBD

Auto New York City CBD is a low-stress, high-reward strain that thrives with simple, consistent care. Whether you're setting up your first tent or running a pro-level SOG, this guide gives you the essentials.

Quick overview: Autoflowering · Pyramid Seeds · 65–70-day cycle · moderate difficulty · ideal for indoor tents and discreet outdoor grows.

Safe start: Germinate in a moist, dark environment at 22–25 °C. Transplant gently once the taproot is ~1 cm long. For a stronger start, RootStimulator HY-PRO boosts early root development and reduces shock.

Stable seedling: Keep humidity at 60–70% and lights at a safe distance. Water lightly and ensure good drainage. A well-aerated soil mix prevents root rot and supports healthy growth.

Directed growth: Maintain 18/6 lighting and temperatures between 22–26 °C. Use a 20L (5.28 gal) final pot filled with airy soil or coco. Avoid overfeeding — this strain prefers moderate nutrients with extra Ca/Mg.

Efficient flowering: Lower humidity to 45–50% in mid-flower to prevent mold. Support heavy colas if needed. At peak bloom, Bloom Booster enhances resin and bud density naturally.

Harvest and refinement: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky with some amber for balanced effects. Flush with plain water 7–10 days before harvest. Dry slowly at 18–22 °C and 50–60% RH, then cure for 2–4 weeks to develop flavor.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown dozens of CBD strains, but Auto New York City CBD stands out for its clean, uplifting effect and reliability. For friends just starting out, I recommend it because it’s hard to mess up — it grows evenly, resists mold, and delivers consistent results. I’ve used it in back-to-back indoor cycles, and it never disappoints.

For me, the flavor is the highlight — that sharp citrus punch is unmistakable. I run it under 720W LEDs in 20L pots, with moderate feeding and a light touch of LST. I flush 10 days before harvest and cure for three weeks. The result? Dense, frosty buds with a smooth, clear-headed high — perfect for daytime creativity or winding down without zoning out. It’s not just a CBD strain — it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
