I’m looking forward for this CBD pure strain, Dutch Passion was kind to send me three for their strains. ------VEG SETUP------ -HOMEBOX TRIANGLE+ .4sqm -1X CREE CXB3590 100w cob -INTAKE FAN HIGH PRO - 107 m³/h -EXHAUST FAN PROFAN - 220 m³/h -TWO SMALL VENT FANS -HUMIDIFYER WHEN NEEDED -50%PERLITE 50%SPHAGNUM PEAT MOSS with organic correction, so is a very light soil. ———NUTRIENTS——— This will be an organic grow. Will use a super soil Subcool recipe as base, water will not be ph, and Biobizz to suprement at low doses. Mykos, Azos and Recharge for the roots and a compost tea every now and then. It has been cooking for 4weeks. Pots will get 1/3 filled with the super soildiluted 1 part super soil to 1 parts my base soil, and this will gradually increase 1/3 1 part super soil to 2 parts base, and the top 1/2 with only the base soil. ———CBD CHARLOTTE’S ANGEL - DUTCH PASSION——— GENETICS Dutch Charlotte x Red Angel VARIETY Mostly Sativa THC CONTENT <1% CBD CONTENT 10 - 16% FLOWERING TIME. 63 - 84 days TASTE / FLAVOUR Diesel, Pine, Spicy / Herbal EFFECT Calming, Relaxing - 1st prize "Medical", Highlife Cup, Netherlands 2018 Charlotte’s Angel is a sativa dominant variety with high CBD levels, 10 to 16% and low THC levels, always below 1%.

Dutch Passion’s first low THC variety, CBD Charlotte’s Angel®️

Topped N1. Using only water, and gave a dose of compost tea i have brewed, follows the recipe: ———Basic tea with a twist #1——— 20l unclorinated water, using a filter, but vitamin c powder is an option or aerating for 12 to 48h. 1 cup worm castings 1 cup bokashi 1/3 cup molasses, unsulfured organic. 2 1/2 tbsp Recharge Brew aerating for 24h, using a Hydro air pump. EC was at 0.4 and PH a bit low but used full strength no ph adjustment. A basic tea would be only worm castings and molasses. For a nutrient tea is possible to add kelp extract, fish emulsion, bat guano and so on, best to check the EC specially if using guanos before using full strength... Watering schedule is more or less every other day 1 liter. Tea every third watering +-... Next week Biobizz will enter the schedule in a discrete dosage. For this strain i’m Running two plants, one is behind.

Topped this week the two girls, having a lot of development in a busy like shape. Dropping my tea undiluted once every three waterings EC at 0.4 this time, and I’m alternating a bit the tea composition, this time brew with honey and worm castings + Recharge and Azos 24h.

Plants are responding well, still on a very light regimen, using only compost tea, declorinated tap water. Stem is thick, and strong, has a many colas shooting up with minimal training at the moment. Leaf color is vibrant, and dark. Using compost tea in the third watering as usual. > Compost tea with a twist #3 - 1 cup earth worm castings -1/4 of a cup bokashi -5 tsp recharge -1 tsp shell flour -1 tsp azomite Did not have organic molasses so preferred not to put anything, as the recharge and the bokash i use have some, originally is better to use some in pure form like 1/3 of a cup. EC after 24h is around 0.5 - 0.6, ph close to neutral. So used in pure form, possible to dilute if needed. So far I did not PH the water, only filtering it, gave a bit up on RO for now as the water discard is just insane... probably takes 2 gallons + to make one pure... Just not ecologic... so I have detached the membrane for now and am using two filtering steps, carbon and another one... This diary is probably the nightmare of any nutrient company. Note that Recharge is not needed or azos, I’m using because I have laying around here, a substitute would be some sprout seed tea. My choice for the organic, was to be able to abort ph, have a cleaner product, try something new, and reuse my soil...

Girls still developing very well, a lot of growth with a single cxb3590 cob. Area is not that well covered by this led so I will probably use something else in the near future. Seen some start if mg deficiency on one plant, so will give a dose if cal mag, epson salt is not been too helpfull somehow. Not PHing the water still, so it is bouncing depending on the tea brew result, EC is around 0.8 to 0.5 BASE TEA WITH A TWIST #? 1 cup worm castings 1/2 cup bokashi 1 tbsp azomite 1 tbsp Sea shell flour 1 tsp bat guano 5 tsp Recharge Pinch of great white Pinch of mikos Brew for 48h gave also the granular residue as a top dressing. Feed with full strength. Did some defoliation as I have a few weeks to be able to flower this girls.

Got some heavy defoliation going on as well as removing some unpromising bud sites. Roots are breaking out from the netpots bottom super white, i feel that watering is more uniform in the netpots compared to the airpots, had tested in some clones to compare and growth is also more pronounced, but you loose an easy way to train like in the plastic that makes easy to attach some wires. No compost tea this week, i have tome light green goin on on the CA#1 so gave them all a dose of nutes. Some magnesium deficiency showing in one plant trying to fix with epson salt. They will move shortly to the flowering tent and get transplanted from 2 gallon pots to 5 gallon with more super soil and a starting dose of compost tea to activate the soil.

This is an un conventional diary. As expected i have taken a wile to update the original diary and basically this is the second generation of Charlotte’s Angel genetics. Recapping, ;) , the first generation or the mothers there grown as shown in the first weeks of this diary, flowered in 5 gal pots, in supersoil, and suplemented with biobizz and a few compost teas, harvested dry cured as usual. I have really liked the result, clean smoke or vape with a lemon like aroma, the effects are subtle, calming and gradual, anyone can enjoy this strain, you can smoke as much you want with no side effects. Very interesting. Before flowering I have taken clones, and this are the plants, originated from that op, transfered in to 5 gal smartpots with peat perlite mix, in the end of week one of flower. The scrog net was put in to place yesterday, basically is a hybrid scrog, some are making the knitting movement some re just been separated by the spaces, in another words this is a beta scrog, more to open a bit the plant than to really create a clean and organized classic scrog setup if that makes sense. As far as the nutrient line i have adventured myself in to the organics, but really is not biobizz or the super soil does not compare to synthetic nutes as far as harvest and full potential *in my experience thus far, this experiences will continue, for the sake of research and experimentation. So I’m trying a new nutrient line, the Remo nutrients. After mixing in to RO or unclorinated water the mix pinpoint at 6.2-6.5ph, note that this is not a ph perfect marketed line, so that is a comfortable coincidence. To flower I’m using a 1x1m tent with my quantum boards. The third generation of clones have been taken and is in the propagation tent rooting. Lets see how this goes along. :)

Moving forward, blooming nice, this second gen is taking form and gaining weight. A few weeks and we will have a nice harvest. Tent is nicely populated and filled. Once i have setup the “semi scrog” it has conformed to it in a couple of days and did a massive difference. It really opens the canopy and create a huge surface to take advantage from the light as opposed to letting it go naturally. I’m defining the technique as semi scrog because i did not setup the net in a traditional early way knitting in veg... It was done later.

Girls are developing well, i have a minor issue but is making me uncomfortable, a bug for the third time something that by research seams to be a lace bug, basically is like little drops of black oil in the leafs this develops in to a little static larvae then it becomes black, is tiny. And apparently does nothing on the surface to the plant, but man this bastards are imortal, I’m in the point of dropping a nuke or using a flame tower in the grow room. I’m deep in to flower... Besides that fir the third time, all good...

Looking for a interesting strain to give a go in the CBD world, this is a nice option to considere, no side effects and a good taste. From four plants the harvest was massive estimate in 500g dry avg, consistency on the buds not so much it is not a dense compact flower, and I felt a bit fluffiness, not too much though.
