indica-dominant strainDinachem
Dinachem is Dinafem’s attempt to preserve and continue the characteristics of an old ChemDog elite clone in seed form via a selected GuavaChem line. The focus is a penetrating, perfumed aroma of lemon, petroleum and pine needles.

Editorial profile
Dinachem in detail
Origin & classification
Dinachem was developed by Dinafem as a preservation and further-development project centered around a ChemDog elite clone. According to the breeder’s connected description, the original cutting was crossed with a proprietary GuavaChem selection. The aim was to make the distinctive olfactory and flavor characteristics of the old clone accessible in seed form while also improving the vitality and productivity of its offspring.
Aroma & flavor
The source places the ChemDog clone used on the US East Coast and names 1991 as the year of its selection. Dinafem states that the clone, which had been maintained vegetatively for a long time, lost vigor and yield over time. This statement describes the specific starting clone of the project and should not be applied indiscriminately to all lines marketed under ChemDog or Chemdawg. Accordingly, Dinachem was not merely a reissue of a name, but the result of a targeted backcross with related material.
Terpene profile
Dinafem characterizes GuavaChem as a descendant of ChemDog worked over several generations. It is said to have approached an inbred line, thereby providing comparatively uniform and stable starting material. From a preserved seed batch, Dinafem selected particularly stable plants with convincing quality, according to its own account. This selection was subsequently combined with the original clone. The source report therefore documents a specific breeding path that differs from the normalized strain-data entry “Chem Dawg × Stardawg”.
Effect tendency
The most distinctive sensory description concerns the aroma. It is said to be penetrating and almost perfumed, with a mixture of lemon and petroleum. According to the source, a clearly recognizable base note of pine needles lies beneath it. The recorded categories “diesel-like” and “sour” capture parts of this profile, but leave out the resinous pine and perfumed character. It is precisely the combination of bright lemon with fuel and coniferous wood that makes the description more specific than a general gas profile.
Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance
The available connected description contains no sufficiently reliable information on effects, cannabinoid content or a verified flowering time. Corresponding individual values have therefore not been added. Based on the source, Dinachem can be described above all through its breeding history and aromatic profile: Dinafem sought to turn an aged ChemDog elite clone into a vigorous seed line through carefully selected GuavaChem offspring without losing the characteristic scent of petroleum, lemon and pine.
