Genetics and origin
Auto New York City CBD is built on the classic New York City genetics — a sativa-dominant strain known for its signature citrus-diesel profile and energising effect. In this CBD autoflower version, the cannabinoid profile has been optimised to 10–15% CBD at 7–12% THC and the cycle shortened to 63 days under LED in autoflower format — without changing the unmistakable aroma and clear sativa character of the original.
Auto New York City CBD content: what does 10–15% CBD mean?
With 10–15% CBD at 7–12% THC, Auto New York City CBD offers a balanced cannabinoid ratio. CBD moderates the effect of THC — the result is the entourage effect: the synergistic interplay of CBD, THC and terpenes feels more complete than isolated CBD alone. Clear relaxation, no intoxication, no heaviness.

Effects
The effect is sativa-leaning: mentally clear, focused, gently uplifting — without intense euphoria or couch-lock:
- Mental clarity — focus is preserved, ideal for productive days
- Stress relief — reduces inner tension without grogginess
- Balanced mood — a light lift, never overwhelming
- Physical ease — gentle relaxation without heaviness
- Daytime use — morning, midday or for a gentle wind-down in the evening
Aroma and terpene profile
Auto New York City CBD delivers a fresh, urban aroma profile: dominant citrus notes (lime, grapefruit) over a clean earthy base with a characteristic light diesel undertone. The flavour is clear and zesty — with a long-lasting citrus-peel aftertaste.
| Terpene | Typical impressions | Contribution to the profile |
|---|
| Limonene | Fresh, citrusy, lime/grapefruit | The main carrier of the NYC aroma, lifts mood, promotes focus |
| Terpinolene | Fruity, floral, slightly resinous | Adds to the freshness, typical of sativa-dominant genetics |
| Caryophyllene | Spicy, peppery, light diesel | Responsible for the diesel undertone, complements the CBD profile |
