Thinking about growing "DinaChem": anyone try this? Opinions welcome.

I don't know any of this for a fact or claim to but I know the gear and for me the proof will be in the pudding. I'm not calling anyone lyiers I'm just saying this used to be the place you could go to and talk about it with out being ridiculed and banned. I hope things can go back to being the great site I found it to be.

Is Dinafem lying? Well as we all know, everyone lies, at one time or another. Some do it none stop, just for kicks even sometimes, lol.

I remember when Mr. Soul first came out with his Cinderella line. His quotation went something like this.

"American genectics or Dutch genetics? you decide!"

Which was totally a lie, because Soul wanted to insist he had bred Cindy himself from seeds he got somewhere in America rather then Holland. And then made Cinderella. But he later admited he got the Cindy genetics in a dutch coffee house somewhere. And he cubed what he got with another Dutch strain Shiva Skunk.

But you know, in the end, it doesn't matter what anyone says, it's what works out for you.

I grew out Dinafem Blue Hash, and their Shark Attack, (both feminized) I liked them both, and thought them some of the best pot I had tried from another breeder.

And I told Rezdog a long time ago, to be careful what you wish for, because Karma's a bitch sometimes,

DUDE GET OUT OF OUR FORUM. you are so rediculous. how many times you gonna switch your opinions on DINAFEM.

first you cuss me out way back about talking about their OG kush, which was awesome btw. Then i see you kissin ass at spannabis. i call you out on it, and u say u have no prob with them. you are so wishy washy its rediculous. and yo you aint the godfather bro, HA!

your posts are typically like the one i quoted. ignorant.

I got their OG Kush, its not fantastic but its ok same with their cheese best pheno is nothing like cheese, just a good kush/skunk. Both are worth growing out though from seed but i do feel their jumping on names as ive ad better versions of both...

Here's a bit of a story for you. You may have heard me mention the Thunderstuck clone. It's a production clone, meaning it yields big and fast.

Now the people that smoke the TS clone, will repeatedly ask me, if it's the same pot. And I mean this has gone on for years. But they keep asking.

Now why would that be you ask? Well, it's simple, it's grower and weather variation. Meaning that sometimes the grower might be off somewhere in his preparation of nutrients or PH or some other factor. And the weather outdoors affects the indoor flowering procedure.

Some people aren't aware of this, but flowering indoors in warmer areas, most pot isn't going to be as good a quality. In places where it gets especially cold, pot is at it's best grown indoors. And here's why, the extremely dry air, combined with CO2 production from forced air furnaces that heats your home, and you have pretty much perfect flowering conditions. As long as you keep your indoor flowering temp. around 75 degrees, you've got it made in the shade.

You may have heard people talk about what great pot they have up in alaska, and that's mostly because of the indoor flowering conditions they have. Which are most always prime because of the cold, that is there most of the time.

So the morale of this story is: That if loyal customers that have smoked endless pounds of the thunderstruck clone keep thinking it's all different pot. When in fact it is a consistant clone, speaks volumes about the varied results that growers get on different strains.

That's why you have some people saying Dinafem, is okay, they suck, and also they are great. All rolled into one.

You really have to hold clones for a few years to observe how they react in different situations, to fully understand the nature.

Another interesting fact is that different females and or strains in general will perform differently, under different types of lighting.

For example my Wonderjacks clone, which was produced, by a ditch hybrid herm mother... I mention the mother (who I named Vito,.. to much Sopranos view I guess, lol)


Here's picture of Vito in veg, after I just topped her.


Vito was an excellent example, of the variation you see under different types of lighting. Vito was a super fast yield monster, that under HIDs was a giant yielder, but only a average at best flavor, and low crystal production.

However under fluroscent light flowering, the flavor was excellent and sweet, and the crystal production was literally 10 to 20 times greater then under HID lighting.

Here's a comparison picture (flowered under fluroscent lights only) of the Thunderstruck clone on the left, and the Vito clone on the right. The TS clone isn't a slow grower, or yielder, it's the reverse. Vito was just that much more vigorous. To be honest, Vito grew so fast it scared me, that's why I topped it actually, just to slow the growth for a bit. Vito is the most vigorous and robust cutting I've seen, and perhaps the most impressive over all as well.

(Vito was also more potent and better tasting, under the fluros, then the Thunderstruck clone was. But under the HIDs Vito wasn't even close to the Thunderstruck clone in flavor, quality or potency.)

yeah my grape ape pheno that ive kept around GREATLY differs in looks depending on the enviroment. drastically... we also have a grape stomper x og(underdawg) that seems to look much different in every little different enviroment too.

where as the Blue widow, and white rhino ive been growing seem to look the same mostly in all conditions. ive seen about 3 or 4 different set ups and they all looked roughly the same. i love passing clones out and seeing what they do different for others.

and yeah flouros DO produce better bud imo too. just not nearly as much. im thinking about using a mh for flower and see if it does like the flouros but with better yield. most of the best buds ive grown were under cfl's, im still trying to get the whole hid thing perfected. not that i get poor quality or anything. i just wish they were as easy as the flouros are to me.

heres a pic of the dinachem seedling i have going too... nice and healthy so far.

btw i just had my first seed failure thru dinafem last week. one of my OGK beans from them didnt produce a very good seedling and it died. the seed had been slow to germ in the first place and had a very small taproot as well. bound to happen eventually i suppose. just wanted to be fair and let ya'll know. still one of the best breeders imo tho... just a bad seed outta how many. just sucks cuz i was gonna do a dinafem ogk/rp og18 comparison grow, and now its not gonna happen.

^^ have u been growing for a long time ?

And I can agree with the different vigor of seedlings but I'm not sure of the death was dinafems fault ..

I usually lose one seed at most when I'm popping 10-15 ..last run I lost a a handful ..made me pissed but I realized what I did wrong ..

I put them straight into the dirt ..they all cracked and sprouted tap roots and died ..this was bc I didn't saturate the soil enough for the rap root to fight tru or create a nice warm casing of dirt around the seedling ..so the heat caused the dirt to get dry and tap roots exposed to air from cracks in the dry soil ..that's instant death to a seedling ..u will kno if this happen bc the rap root turns light /dark brown and the head of the seed will snap right off the tap root ..

I've had way better succes rate in a cooler room like 65-75 than popping seeds in a 85 degree room ..I also found that if I put them in the dirt and on a window sill (doesn't matter what time of yr) they Burst out the dirt faster than of I had a really big light on em ..

Vigor -for me so far the best vigor of plants are in this order
S1 or hermie -if made correctly these things have a will for life ..I lost one fem seed compared to all hte others

F1-if made correctly these are super strong plants ..essentially majority of the crosses out there ..not all have hybrid vigor tho

F2 -unless selection was done or breed really well ..these tend to take longer to break soil ..all f2s I've popped have always been slower than my f1s or s1s

never tried the dinachem but i can vouch for dinafem. they are a solid company. good genetics...good yields...good smoke. what more can you ask for? ive grown at least 7+ of their strains with not a bad thing to say about any of them. i think you wont be let down in the end.

What have been your favorites for taste, potency, yield, etc.?

as far as dinafem goes id say...

Potency: Original Amensia (maybe the most potent out of EVERYTHING ive ever grown myself.)
Yield: Critical+ its yield but is potency too. if i had to choose between this and big bud...id get this. yields just as good but w/ potency

for taste? idk how to answer that.
for smell: theyve all smelled pretty nice. not one strain i could single out as a bad type of odor.

Hey all I'm new to riu but wanted to put in my two cents on dinafem,
As far as my experience I have grown out blue widow, white widow and power kush all dinafem freebies. The quality of the plants were all spot on very close to what is described by dinafem, but the winner by far was the power kush ....after five weeks of veg from seed the plant finished in 55 days and had a total dry weight of a little over six ounces, whereas the blue widow was concerned it yielded 2.5 ounces of good quality smoke, the white widow barely missed three ounces by a couple grams. It was also a very tasty sweet strain....it took about 63 days to finish, but wow the power kush nice skunky sweet buds in 55 days with an absolute huge yield....def a keeper in my garden. Hope this was able to help anyone, M deems

it helps me. i havent grown any of these strains from them. ive grown a white berry (paradise seeds) which is very similar to a blue widow (same parents blueberry and white widow) but now i wanna try these strains as well.

my next stab at dinafem (after the critical jack im currently growing finishes) will probably be "diesel" i got it in the same order as the critical jack from herbies pick and mix)

id like to get some super critical haze but the tude is always out of stock but ive heard its ungodly strong lol

I would def consider the power kush my friend you will not be disappointed ..lol

I got Dinafem OG and Cheese running both good yielders and pretty good to smoke

So happy to see people talking aboutr Dinafem!

They have amazing genetics in stock and they are a vast group of breeders. Though when it comes to an American strain like Chemdog I'd probably try my hardest to get something from the US. However if that isnt possible I would blindly grow Dinachem because i know it wouldnt let me down.

at the man with the plan: If you enjoyed critical + i really recommend you to have a go at Medical Seeds' Channel +. It's like an ultra perfected critical in terms of everything, yield taste and potency. It literally will make you forget critical + existed. Plus they have a few other strains which are utter TITS!

HAs anybody done the Cloud 9 from Dinafem?

I grew it for 2 years str8 and it was the best haze/skunk hybrid I've ever smoked
Sweet/Skunky/Peppery smells+tastes with a very strong head high at first>followed by sleepytime 3-4 hrs later

Dunno why its not stocked @ Attitude anymore because it is special to me now that it's been gone for 6 mo.

Mine took 70-75 days and would stretch to 4-5ft even from 12" topped+cropped clones.
2oz. dried from untopped plants and 3.5-4 oz. from topped+cropped plants(under 400w)

The s33d I got was just a single and was pale/small but it sprouted in 48 hr. like the rest of the big dark ones next to it.
Turned out a more potent plant then the fat dark striped s33ds from Barney's Farm(midgrade potency Violator Kush)
