CBD Charlottes Angel CBD
Dutch Charlotte × Red Angel
CBD Charlotte's Angel is a meticulously bred indica cultivar designed for high CBD content and extremely low THC, offering therapeutic benefits with minimal psychoactive effects. It is a reliable choice for users seeking non-intoxicating cannabis.
Appearance
This strain exhibits a sativa-leaning structure with medium-long internodes and narrow to medium leaflets. It develops a multi-top canopy when trained early, responding well to techniques like LST and ScrOG. Untrained plants typically form a large central cola with longer side branches. The buds are elongated and moderately dense, featuring a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming and airflow. Abundant trichome coverage gives the buds a frosted appearance.
Coloration ranges from lime to forest green, often with tangerine pistils that darken as the plant matures. Cooler temperatures may induce subtle lavender or plum hues on the sugar leaves. Resin heads are medium-sized and evenly distributed, suitable for extraction.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is predominantly herbal, with strong notes of pine and tea. A subtle diesel or incense nuance can emerge after curing. The overall scent profile is clean, bright, and slightly spicy, appealing to those who prefer classic, non-sweet aromatics. Upon breaking or grinding, volatile terpenes release scents reminiscent of the forest floor, cedar, and green peppercorn. A hops-like earthiness, attributed to humulene, often becomes noticeable mid-cure.
The flavor is crisp and herbal, layered with pine and green tea notes. Inhalation is bright and slightly resinous, followed by a gentle spice that lingers. The finish is clean, with a subtle bitterness similar to high-quality black tea. Vaporizing at moderate temperatures highlights the delicate, terpene-forward profile.
Effects
CBD Charlotte's Angel is bred for its non-euphoric and non-intoxicating properties, making it suitable for users who require clear functionality without psychoactive disruption. Its profile is designed to support wellness and therapeutic applications.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar is characterized by its high CBD content, frequently ranging from the low teens to mid-teens by dry weight, with total THC consistently below 1%. This results in a typical CBD:THC ratio between 20:1 and 30:1. Key terpenes contributing to its profile include Myrcene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Humulene, and Ocimene, which provide its distinct aromatic and potential therapeutic qualities.
Growing
CBD Charlotte's Angel is considered to have an approachable cultivation profile. Indoors, it typically flowers in 9–12 weeks, yielding between 400–550 g/m². Outdoors, particularly in dry climates, plants can grow tall, producing yields of 400–800 g per plant. It responds well to training techniques and benefits from balanced feeding and canopy management.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Dutch Passion in the late 2010s, CBD Charlotte's Angel was created in response to the growing demand for high-CBD, low-THC cannabis. Its name references the broader movement towards accessible, non-intoxicating cannabis, inspired by cases like Charlotte Figi. The strain has received accolades in CBD categories at European competitions, validating its stable low-THC performance.
The genetic lineage traces back to a cross between Dutch Charlotte and Red Angel, both CBD-rich parental lines specifically selected for their low-THC chemotypes. The breeding objective was to stabilize a CBD-dominant (Type III) chemotype with THC reliably under 1%. Dutch Charlotte contributed robust CBD production and herbal-pine aromatics, while Red Angel enhanced structure and resin coverage.
