• 1x1m Tent - Veg
• 2x1m Cab -  Flower

Genetics:

• 3x Dutchpassion Jorges Diamonds no1 
• 1X Dinafem Remo Chemo

Medium

Organic soil, own mix based on rev 2.0 base mix 

• Coco coir
• Perlite
• Worm castings
• Compost
• Potting soil
• dolomite lime
• Bone Meal
• mycoroot

This was mixed let sit, then watered with a compost tea and let sit for another month or so, not pushing for full nute free grow, rather a slightly fortified light soil.

Nutes:

• Kelpak foliar
• Epsom foliar

Lighting:

• 5x20w cool white cfl - seedling\early veg Micro

• '360w' apollo 8 spot led - veg(currently in for repairs on my desk hence hps)
• 2x 400w HPS - flower

Ventilation:

• Micros, 12v pc fans various
• Veg ,6" extractor, no filter -  to move to flower once flower cab is completed
• flower, 6" extractor with 150mm-500mm carbon filter

The Jorges came to me from another grower in rockwool prisons, i nervously hacked them free and transplanted to soil at i would guess 3 weeks from seed judging by nodes and development.

they battled initially with transplant shock and root damage causing some cal/mag issues early on, once transplanted to 10l bags the offset of soil to rockwool seems to have balanced ph better and are now starting to take off nicely.

Transplanted to 10l

 

Moved to veg tent

Still looked quite pissed off with me at this point

 and where we stand today

 

Remo was a clone gifted to me, sadly came with signs of mites so she went into quarantine and pyrol torture for a week or two. she has recovered nicely and is starting to show some good growth.

Below pic on arrival after first pyrol treatment

Remo a substantially happier plant

has been fluctuating to be fair, average is about 25. bare in mind lights are off between 11am - 5pm
tried a smaller extractor with led panel and that pushed it up to 29/30 but with the hps and 6" i dont worry too mch about temps

[YourStonedBuddy]

looking good bud! Keen to see this pan out

[McB]

Monday update. 

Plants looking happy. Fresh buckets of water bubbling away for upcoming feed. 

 

[McB]

quick update, seedlings are a no show,that makes it a full failure on all old beans tried.

out they go, no use hoarding dead seeds. kills me as its lost breeding projects that are dead in the water now.

my own fault, badly stored, lessons learnt.

grow isnt doing too badly, topping starting to shoot up new points now.

Still plagued by calmag issues slwoing me down, ladies will probably get an epsom foliar tonight. time is short, flower approaches

[McB]

Rare cool white pic of the tent. Backup light after power failure. 

Plants still a little sad on lower branches but appears to be power through the light mg Def. Foliar fed with half tsp of Epsom in 500ml water. 

[CG420za]

Isn't that solution a bit on the strong side @McB?

shit, i just reread the amounts and it was grams not tsp, feck, i normally to a tablespoon per 5l and feed but needed a solution now , not with next watering.

 quickly scanned foliar advice and gooi'd.

ah well they looked fine this morning, will take it as it comes, worst case i can spray with clean water and get rid of anything left over

[Green Leaf Organics]

1g per L Magnesium sulfate.

that's the one, read it, understood it, duffed it on the day...

i guesstimate about a double dose then, bitches be salty

[Green Leaf Organics]

Nope you got really lucky 1 tsp equals roughly 1g 

[McB]

Getting close to flower. Ladies putting out nicely. 

Soil mixed for upcoming flower transplant. 38l fabric pots and 200w of hps per plant should do nicely under a scrog.

This is as much as i know. have had extract from this strain(same cut) and was blown away, apparently not the greatest flower to smoke though. effect was life altering, so she will be in my extract rotation for the forseaable future

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%. It’s a non-psychoactive variety offering medical benefits without the high, delivering a strong body effect and a calming, anti-anxiety experience. She takes 9-12 weeks to flower and comes with a herbal aroma with piney diesel undertones. Genetics come from Dutch Charlotte (CBD rich clone) crossed with Red Angel (clone-only Amsterdam CBD variety).

Charlotte’s Angel is popular with cannabis lovers that want to enjoy a joint without getting stoned and is suitable for making concentrates. You get a satisfying experience with the same taste and aroma as a high-THC variety. You feel medicated, yet you are not high, it gives the user a positive feeling of well-being, it is almost impossible to explain unless you’ve tried it! Dutch Passion’s first low THC variety, CBD Charlotte’s Angel®!

Can you explain your "Life Altering" experience @McB? Sure i'm not the only one that would like to know your journey with such a high cbd to thc ratio.

Only have had store bought CBD and i feel i need to grow my own to understand its full capabilities.

well, as with many my focus has been high thc, that being the milestone embedded since pre canna enlightenment days of seeded swaz and bush missions instead of school.

the "strongest" buds topped out as the best and we hailed even elevated to legendary status the malawi golds and the durban poisions of old(wow, dp still makes me smile, what a story).

now in my mind this translated into thc content and for many years that was the milestone of good smoke for me, getting as baked as possible for as long as possible and still walk,talk and function enough to get passed parents.

passing the teenage "smoke it if you got it" years nearing adulthood i started replacing big pharma anti depressants and mood stabilisers with bud and my understanding of my needs started to change, im hyper af, restless leg syndrome to the point i could be a thrash metal drummer and sleep less than most people i know.

Bud helped with this a lot and knowing the above i stayed away from sativa strains and set indica as the new gold standard for my needs.

the couchlock coupled with brain melting thc worked for many years, but also strips a lot of primary response speed in muting the multitude of random background threads and sub threads that are my average thought process.(fine for 10pm, not so great for a lunchtime toke)

add this to a little bit of age and shit starts getting ludicrous, forget conversations mid sentence, miss nuances and ultimately become what appears to all and sundry as a "forgetful stoner". this overall leads to one sad mofo facing the reality that his intake is finally affecting his productivity and hence potential income. 

 Enter Charlottes, i got 0.5g, never had so little last me as long.
flavour wise i get an interesting pine\junipery flavour off a lower temp dab, almost sweet in a sense, i frikken loved it.

brain is fully functional, yet calm, no dumbing down of response time, no rambling of a million ideas at once,no drifting off  on a tangent mid meeting, or god forbid presentation, complete body stone, calm, no fidgeting, anxiety managed, shit it even helped with my fibromyalgia...just fucking sorted is what it does

my only sadness is that i dont have more yet...YET

 

[Pvt_sToNeR]

Wooh @McB, I truly appreciate the proper walk through from the typical recreational user to the medical side of things. (don't get honesty like that easy now a days)

I feel that many recreational users would agree with you and its sad we don't have doctors to help us find what works for us and what does not, But by the journey you have explained it sounds much more fun that way 

When the time comes when you have an abundance of this strain...... i shall be waiting in the clone groups shadows 

 

[McB]

Charlotte's angel Mom got tied down a little. 

[Pvt_sToNeR]

She a kinky girl huh?
