@guitarisgr8 I will definitely put up some pics once I get her into flowering.

@Amos Otis .... This is good to know.... the down side of the strain, there are people who love and people who think it is ok....... Why did you think that, was it not potent enough?? that is the complaint that I have read most. That it has good flavor but it is not that potent.

Still excited about growing it though..... to see what comes out. I popped two out of the three and only one sprouted.... so Im hoping shes a good one

^ Not Amos or answering for Amos just my own personal opinion...

My bestfriend loves Crit +, one of his favorite strains. I just don't love it. It is good flavor, good taste, good buzz, but nothing I would consider elite at all. If I were growing to sell, Crit + would be on my list, but since I grow for personal use, I would prefer using my space for what I consider to be better buds.

If you're asking about SDG, it's a good strain imo, and good strains are nothing to under value. An easy grow everytime, good yield, above avg taste. The potency seemed to drop w/ each use - just couldn't get any liftoff after a short while. Had no complaints from friends that got some; or any of the Dinafem for that matter. But they are not all day/every day tokers [like me].

althor's comments ^ I'll echo as well; and would apply them to every Dinafem bean I've sampled [except Diesel]. It's always 'not bad' - never 'outstanding', and if I were a distributer for dinero, would seriously consider Dinafem for their dependability, ease, and yields of very decent products.

Got the Critical Jack Herer as a freebie, it's in flower now. I cloned it just incase it's fire. So far it smells great and looks great.

Your description of critical + is dead on. A solid grow of average smoke, imo of 3 beans.



I got the little black tin w/ 3 of them a couple of years ago. Liked it. Didn't love it. Same w/ most everything Dinafem except 2 Diesel which were puny [ run at different times ]. Everything else performed well and produced average to above avg smoke: Blue Widow, White Widow, Ca Hash Plant, Original Amnesia, Critical +. The Amnesia was the best smoke. Maybe B +.

A similar thread a few months back, some dude got all pi$$y because I said the same thing. Good - not great; but dependable gear. I plan on trying the Dinachem freebie at some point.
Well I hope no one will get pissy with you on this thread for having a valid non biased opinion.

I haven't tried a whole lot of different breeders other than, Barneys farm, TH Seeds, DNA

I always find myself coming back to dinafem mainly for the consistency and stability of their strains.
I've had very good luck with Barneys and DNA but I've run across a few 'mutants' and runts which I've never seen out of any Dinafem beans
My favorite strain sure to blow the socks off anyone is DNA Lemon Skunk, I always have a couple in flower and this is far more potent than any Dianfem strain I've grown, so that certainly gives weight to your 'Dinafems lack of potency' observation.

I grew Sagarmatha Strawberry-D-Lite and all 5 beans hermed on me
(first and only time I've had herms) and since then I've be afraid to experiment with different breeders seeing as Dinafem never give me probs. I always have 6 Dinafem strains in flower and two Barneys and two DNA.

I would certainly like to start experimenting with different breeders. What breeder/strain in your opinion delivers Dinafems dependability but with more fire?

Yum..yum... It's a good un!! Grows very fast and strong, under 600w it gives me 70-80g in a 10L pot each and every time!

I'll post some cured Critical Jack bud pics in a minute.

Cloud #9 was the only real keeper female I've had from Dinafem, Looked just like the picture they have of it.
Only 1 of the 20 beans were that pheno.(I'm lucky I even found 1)

The rest were either too fluffy or weaker potency like Crit+.
That 1 pheno. was just as strong as the Triangle Kush that I love now.
Totally different flavors, but the high was overpowering + no tolerance build up just like TK.

I wouldn't judge a strain even with 20 examples though...

I ran a Cheese freebie and it was an outstanding plant and the buzz was great, good potency too.

I am running Cali Hash and Blue Hash right now, chop in a week. I am hoping for a quality high off them. They are regarded as being somewhat low in potency but that is not a concern for me. If you want killer potency then it seems this breeder is not what you want.

My main concern is getting a enjoyable high and having genetic stability. If the hash varieties I grew, give a real mellow high I will get a bunch more.

I have some killer shit already and know where to get lots more. Not a priority for me

I assume you're looking at fems. If so, the ones that I have been most pleased with were/are: RP Confidential Cheese, FoS CheeseDom, TH Se-eds A-Train, DNA Sour Cream, and Female Se-eds C-99.

THis is good to know, seeing as though I am a daily toker, thanks for the honest input!! I am growing a couple of other things as well .... but this is the only dinafem, I wanted to try them out. so far so good. Once it is done I will do a smoke report on her

Currently growing a Dinafem Cheese freebie.
1st grow and has been very easy, I must say. :)
Perfect choice for a first grow, great yielder, handles ph variation well and needs very little nutes (will yellow prematurely with too much nutes but still perform well) in soil you can get great results from this plant using only fishmix and molasses. Not as 'cheesy' as some of the other cheese strains on the market but still undeniably stinky and a great smoke.
Let us know how you get on randybishop!

Yep, I have had great results with fems and I've very little veg space to waste room nursing males. I'm running a perpetual grow so my veg and flower room are always full to capacity

This is just what I need mate, thank you!
I have heard nothing but good things about Reserva Privada and my experiences with DNA have been stellar, so the confidential cheese is next on my hit list, followed by Sour Cream and if they rock I'll defo try my hand at the A-Train and C-99
