Also known as: Charlie's Angel, CBD Charlotte's Angel
Overview
Charlotte's Angel is a CBD-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Dutch Passion, named in honor of Charlotte Figi, a young girl who became a symbol of hope for epilepsy patients through her transformative experience with cannabis. This strain was specifically bred to provide medicinal benefits without psychoactivity, making it ideal for patients requiring therapeutic effects while maintaining full functionality. The strain emerged from a cross between Dutch Charlotte, a CBD-rich variety, and Red Angel, a sativa-dominant hybrid. Charlotte's Angel represents a significant advancement in medical cannabis breeding, focusing on maximizing CBD content while minimizing THC to create a truly therapeutic strain. The plant exhibits typical sativa-dominant characteristics with a tall, slender Christmas tree structure, large fan leaves, and strong side branches. Buds are dense and resinous, often displaying beautiful purple and rose-pink hues in certain phenotypes. The strain has garnered multiple awards, including first place at the 2018 Highlife Cannabis Cup in the Netherlands in the CBD category, followed by additional wins at various European competitions.

Growing Information
Charlotte's Angel is a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing. The flowering time ranges from 9-12 weeks, with most phenotypes requiring 11-12 weeks for full maturation. Some faster indica-dominant phenotypes may finish in 8-9 weeks. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plant grows tall with significant stretch during both vegetative and flowering phases, making height management important. It thrives under LED lighting with organic nutrients and requires adequate spacing due to its vigorous growth. The strain shows natural resistance to common pests and diseases but benefits from proper airflow and humidity control. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in late October.
