Yeah Dinafem makes some pretty good seeds. A very realistic seed company with pretty good prices. Doesnt claim any stupid fast flowering times on every strain or claim the biggest yield. Reliable products and a pretty good selection. Havent used them much mostly freebies and stuff but most of them are stable with no herms and pretty good ratios of good to bad phenos.
Ive wanted to try some HSO blue dream and chem and green crack but got the DOGs to play with. Waitin on HSO to make a cherry pie S1. I dont know what theyre doin with themselves by not making one. Hopin to come across a clone of it sooner than later cause i hate runnin seeds. Everyone that doesnt germ i just imagine was the killer-est pheno ever and get all pissed. haha.
They are some chunky ones. Hope they stretch alot in flower because these guys are about a foot maybe a little more. Ive topped them and super cropped but still haha.
Goin to check on em today so pictures until i re-install my video editor.

I ran SOG from rooted clone, no veg time , and the stretch was maybe x .5 - 1
good bud to leaf ratio, almost a joy to trim...almost...

I ran a few years back, but friends still ask for it .
EDIT: think I just talked myself into another Power Kush run...lol...just ordered their DinaChem, maybe run side by side....

I just have a few clone only strains on the list really.
Cherry Pie
Blue Dream
any chem cut but thats why im glad im runnin the dogs
Thats just about it. Mainly because i like the flavors and the high but its awesome that they yield well for how potent they are.
Hopin to find my mother cut in this batch of DOGs. I should find one i like just hope its a yielder.

So i FINALLY figured it out and feel pretty stupid for it.
The problems with the ph/water/nutes/plants was pretty simple to figure out.
So for a while (about a year) we used a RO filter to clean our water, weve recently (over the past year) switched to just tap left to sit out or be bubbled.
It was easier because our water came out 7.0 almost every time opposed to the 5.5 itd come out from the RO which was always difficult because after adding nutes itd drop to 5.0 or lower so i was using a fair bit of ph up.
So seeing them do better made me happy but they still had a p/k def so i knew something had to be up.
Ive finally tracked it down to the water. Normally, since it came out damn near 7.0 id never ph my normal water in between watering. I only noticed when i added a heafty pre-flowering dose of nutes to them and checked the ph and noticed it hadnt even dropped below 7.0
I always ph my nutes but maybe it was something about the dyna gro that dropped it more than the BPN im using now does.
After i saw that i grabbed a gallon that had been sitting for a few days and it was damn near 8.0!!!!
So all this time that ive flushed or fed with plain water i was probably fucking over the ph of my medium and causing more harm than good. It would always seem to get slightly better but never fully better. 2 steps forward one step back every time. Im almost confident that one step back was the regular water waterings.
Now that ive got that all squared away theyve really improved and will continue to. Already noticed theyve grown a solid 1/3 of their size and only have a handful of leaves that are showing def and im not sure if theyre permanently dead or going to recover. Nothing new has spread to any other leaves so i think ive nailed it.
Feel like such a scrub.
Onto the DOGs.
Here are all 5 the one on the far left looks super sad......
So i chopped her. Figured she was too far gone to keep around.
And then there were 4....
My pride and joy of flowering, the auto-topped plant growing weird as can be. One hell of a bush.
All the other DOGs growin pretty well some a little more bushy than others but all look nice and dense at the main stem.
Nodes just packed ontop of other nodes. Didnt truly notice til i went to take clones.
The DOG clones i took. 2x for each of them
And last but not least the newest member of the DOG family
Looks like shes got the fat mutated leaves of the auto-topped and indica dom ones.
Well, clones have been taken so these DOGs will be thrown in flower within the week!
Cant wait to see what these BUD BOSS 305s can do!!!
Theyve already impressed me in flower makming me switch up my cooling system because it was making it too cold in there due to lack of heat.
Kept my plants nice and short and dense. Not sure if its the strain or the lights, probably a little of both.
Ill be able to have them close to the top of the canopy so penetration shouldnt be a problem.

Well now you know! Get'er'goin full steam!
Yeah its about time. hahaha. just never thought that the ph would jump that much.
re-calibrated my meter and checked with some test strips just to be double sure
Gonna have to call the city and see what they have to say about it.
For a minute i was thinking im just doomed when it comes to seeds. Last few runs ive messed up some prime seeds. UGH
Just wish i had some clones!!!!

Always, always.... ALWAYS test PH. I've been through PH issues, and its just not worth the 3 extra minutes it takes to calibrate and test. Good luck from here B-bro!

Thanks! I keep my shit calibrated and its never off by more than .1 or .2 at worst and i was phing my nutrient solution just not my water because its never come out +/-.2
Didnt know the water would jump a full 1.0 randomly. But yes now im checking my regular water before everything. Wish i never lost my ppm meter. Now im wondering if its a potential problem with the pipes/water heater. Maybe calcium deposits raising the ph if thats possible. haha. Either way back im on track.
