Dinachem
Dinachem
Also known as: Dinafem's version of ChemDog
Overview
Dinachem is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Spanish breeder Dinafem Seeds, created through crossing an Original Chemdawg '91 clone-only with Guava Chem. This strain represents Dinafem's refined interpretation of the legendary Chemdawg genetics, maintaining the classic diesel fuel aroma and potency while adding enhanced stability and growing traits. The strain is classified as sativa-dominant (approximately 65% sativa, 35% indica) but exhibits a well-balanced profile in both effects and cultivation characteristics.
The strain produces dense, resin-coated buds with vibrant green coloration accented by fiery orange pistils and a thick layer of trichomes that create a frosty appearance. Dinachem plants grow tall and slender with wide leaves, developing into towering plants with rock-hard, dense flowers growing from every shoot. The aromatic profile is complex and intense, featuring pronounced diesel fuel scents complemented by tropical fruit, citrus, pine, and exotic wood notes - a testament to its American genetics heritage. This strain won 2nd place for "Best Indica" at the IC420 Growers Cup in 2015 and has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its potent effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Growing Information
Dinachem is considered moderately challenging to grow, making it suitable for intermediate growers with experience in nutrient management. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors with vigorous growth and good resistance to pests and pathogens. Indoor flowering time ranges from 60-70 days (8-10 weeks) with yields of 450-500 g/m² and plant heights of 0.9-1.2m (2-4 feet). Outdoor cultivation produces larger yields of 600-800 g/plant with plants reaching up to 3 meters in height, ready for harvest in mid to late October. The strain responds well to training techniques like LST, SCROG, and topping, and thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with warm days and low humidity. Temperature preferences are 70-80°F (21-27°C) with 40-50% humidity during flowering to prevent mold. Anti-odor filtration is recommended due to the strain's intense aroma during cultivation.
