Fast feet, fast hands, and a fast finish: NYC Sour D Auto is one of the quickest contenders in the Royal Queen Seeds x Tyson 2.0 lineup. This autoflower brings the gassy, sour character of East Coast diesel strains into a compact plant that’s ready to harvest less than three months after sprouting.
Her genetics combine NY Diesel with Sour Diesel Auto, two strains famous for their fuel-heavy aroma and lively high. The result is a sativa-dominant hybrid of 70% sativa, 25% indica, and 5% ruderalis, with THC levels of up to 21%.
From seed to harvest, NYC Sour D Auto needs about 75–90 days (11 to 13 weeks). Indoors she stays around 3 feet (90 cm) and yields 16 to 19 oz/m² (455–540 g/m²). Outdoors she reaches 4 to 5 feet (120–150 cm) and produces 5 to 6 oz/plant (140–170 g/plant).
Flavor and Effects: Sour Gas With a Cognitive Kick
Increasingly hard to find in modern dessert-heavy menus, the classic diesel profile is front and center here. Expect pungent fuel, sour lime, and sharp citrus, with a hint of fruit softening the edges. Every hit tastes like a squeeze of fresh lime over a hot asphalt street in Manhattan.
The high comes on almost immediately. A flurry of euphoria and creative thinking hits first, sharpening the mind and building motivation. Royal Queen Seeds also lists a physically relaxing side, so the body stays loose and comfortable while the head stays busy.
That combination makes NYC Sour D Auto a strong pick for daytime use: brainstorming, cleaning the house, creative projects, or an afternoon walk through the city. At up to 21% THC, she has real punch, so pace yourself if you’re new to sativa-leaning strains.
Growing NYC Sour D Auto: A Flyweight With Big Returns
NYC Sour D Auto belongs in the flyweight division when it comes to size, which makes her ideal for small tents, closets, and discreet balconies. Because she’s an autoflower, there’s no need to change to 12/12; keep the lights on 18/6 or 20/4 from start to finish. Gentle low-stress training keeps her compact and helps spread the canopy.
She prefers long summers, so outdoor growers in warmer states can run multiple harvests per season, starting a new batch as soon as the previous one comes down. Start seeds directly in their final containers and keep nutrient doses light in the first weeks for the smoothest growth.
