From **NYC Diesel** (New York Diesel), the New York sativa from the **Sour Diesel** line, it inherits the most recognisable citrus-and-fuel profile in modern cannabis and that clear, long-lasting cerebral high. From **Pé de Pato** — Portuguese for “duck foot”, a Brazilian **duck foot strain** — it inherits something no commercial sativa offers: a webbed leaf with fused leaflets instead of separate fingers, which looks nothing like the classic cannabis leaf. The result is a citrus sativa with a long-lasting effect and the look of an ornamental plant. It belongs to our American strains and our sativa seeds. ## Samba Diesel THC: 22–27% With **22 to 27% THC** depending on phenotype and growing conditions, Samba Diesel is one of the most potent sativas in the Pyramid Seeds range. In the stronger phenotypes the potency shows mainly in the intensity and duration of the high rather than in body load. CBD is low (< 1%), as you would expect from the Diesel line. ## Samba Diesel effects - **Instant cerebral lift**: clear euphoria, good mood and a sense of energy. - **Creative and talkative**: the typical sativa for a social afternoon. - **No body heaviness**: hardly any physical load, no couch-lock. - **Daytime**: for activity, music and creative work — not a night-time strain. - **Long-lasting**: the effect holds for several hours. ## Aroma and flavour: what Samba Diesel smells like **Pink grapefruit and lime** dominate over a **fuel** base that gives away its Diesel origin, with a sweet, slightly sour background. In flowering the plant gives off an intense citrus scent that fills the room; when you grind the buds, the gasoline comes through. On the palate it is bright and sour on the inhale, with a sweet-citrus return and a lingering kerosene finish. ## Terpene profile Terpene | Typical impressions | Contribution to the profile **Limonene** | Citrus, grapefruit, bright | The dominant citrus note and the euphoric mood — the NYC Diesel inheritance **Terpinolene** | Fresh, floral, fruity | The sativa freshness and the sweeter side of the aroma **Caryophyllene** | Spicy, peppery, warm | The fuel base and the depth of the flavour ## Growing Samba Diesel: indoor and outdoor ### Indoor Flowering takes **65–70 days** (60 under LED). Yield is **400–450 g/m²** under standard conditions and up to **750–800 g/1.5 m²** with a 720 W LED. As a sativa-dominant strain it stretches hard after the switch to 12/12: flip early and use SCROG or LST to keep the height under control. The webbed leaves form a denser canopy than usual, so selective defoliation helps light reach the lower buds — see our guide to topping and pruning cannabis. The citrus smell is very penetrating: a carbon filter is a must. ### Outdoor Harvest in **mid-October** in the northern hemisphere and mid-April in the southern hemisphere. **0.5–1 kg per plant** in the ground. It prefers mild, sunny climates such as the Mediterranean coast; in damp autumns, keep an eye on the denser buds on the lower branches. With its unusual leaves, the plant looks more like an ornamental shrub than a typical cannabis plant. ## Samba Diesel vs New York City | Samba Diesel | New York City **Genotype** | 70% sativa | 70% sativa **Profile** | Grapefruit, lime and diesel | Citrus haze **Leaf** | Webbed duck foot | Classic sativa leaf **Availability** | New 2026, available now | Available now If you want a proven citrus sativa, New York City is the choice in our range; Samba Diesel adds the diesel base, more potency and a leaf you won’t see on any other strain.

Sativa Seeds American Strains High THC Seeds Samba Diesel — frequently asked questions **What is Samba Diesel?** A feminized 70% sativa from the cross NYC Diesel × Pé de Pato, with 22–27% THC, a grapefruit, lime and diesel aroma and webbed duck foot leaves. It is one of Pyramid Seeds’ new strains for 2026. **Is Samba Diesel a Sour Diesel?** Not exactly. Its parent NYC Diesel comes from the Sour Diesel line, which gives it the citrus and fuel aroma; Pé de Pato adds the webbed leaf and the ornamental look. **What is a duck foot cannabis strain?** A duck foot strain has webbed leaves in which the leaflets are fused into a single blade instead of being separate like on a typical cannabis leaf. Samba Diesel inherits this trait from Pé de Pato — “duck foot” in Portuguese. **What are the effects of Samba Diesel?** A cerebral, euphoric and creative effect with no body load that lasts several hours. It is a strain for the daytime and for activity, not for the night. **How long does Samba Diesel take to flower?** 65–70 days indoors, and about 60 days under LED. Outdoors it is harvested in mid-October in the northern hemisphere and mid-April in the southern hemisphere. **Which pack sizes is Samba Diesel sold in?** It is available now in packs of 3 feminized seeds + 1 free and 5 + 2 free.
