Tent-X Ultimate Grow Challenge / Downunder90 / Blueberry Muffin + Lemon Haze + Bubba Kush

### Week 17 Update: Extended Patience & Temperature Adjustments 🌱⏳ ### 🌱 Fine-Tuning for the Final Stretch 🌱 Welcome to Week 17! We’re continuing to hold off on harvesting as trichome development isn’t quite where we want it yet, with not enough amber coloration to guarantee the perfect blend of flavors and potency. We’ve also identified the need to adjust our temperature settings, as our current day and night temperatures—**28°C (82°F) during the day** and **22°C (72°F) at night**—are slightly higher than ideal for maximizing resin and terpene preservation. With help from our **TrollMaster** system, we’re making key environmental adjustments to optimize the final phase of flowering. --- ### 🌿 Current Plant Status 🌿 **Greenhouse Super Lemon Haze 🌞** - **Growth:** The plant is still strong and healthy, though some upper fan leaves are fading, which is natural as the plant uses up its remaining energy. Buds remain incredibly dense, and the citrus aroma is as vibrant as ever. - **Flowering Progress:** Trichomes are largely cloudy, and only a few have turned amber. By extending the flowering period and lowering temperatures, we hope to push the plant to develop more resin and increase terpene intensity. The goal is to see about 20-30% amber trichomes before harvest. **Blueberry Muffin 🥞** - **Growth:** Blueberry Muffin is holding steady, with a solid structure and no signs of stress. Buds are becoming even more resinous, and the sweet, fruity aroma is at an all-time high. The plant’s color is fading beautifully, and it’s gearing up for the final days. - **Flowering Progress:** Similar to Super Lemon Haze, trichome development is progressing slowly. Most are still cloudy, but more amber is starting to show up. With the adjusted environment, we’re giving this strain the best possible chance to fully mature. --- ### 🌱 Adjustments Using TrollMaster 🌱 We’re making strategic changes to our growing environment using our **TrollMaster** control system to fine-tune temperature and humidity for this critical phase: - **Temperature Adjustments:** - **Daytime:** Lowering daytime temperatures gradually to 24-26°C (75-79°F) to help protect terpenes and enhance resin production. - **Nighttime:** Reducing nighttime temperatures to 18-20°C (64-68°F) to encourage more trichome and pigment development. TrollMaster will automate these adjustments smoothly, ensuring there’s no stress to the plants from sudden drops. - **Humidity Management:** Continuing to hold humidity at 40% to prevent mold and keep buds safe from moisture-related issues. TrollMaster’s precision helps maintain this without fluctuation. **Light Management:** - **Light Intensity:** TrollMaster will keep the lights at a slightly reduced intensity to mimic natural seasonal changes, further encouraging the plants to ripen fully. --- ### 🌱 Flushing Strategy & Watering 🌱 - **Continuing to Flush:** Flushing every other day with pH-balanced water (pH 6.0-6.5) to remove any last traces of nutrients and ensure a clean, smooth-smoking product. - **Watering Tips:** We’re careful not to overwater, especially as the plants are close to the end of their life cycle. Watering just enough to keep the medium moist. --- ### 🌸 Looking Ahead 🌸 By adjusting the temperatures and extending the flowering period, we’re giving **Super Lemon Haze** and **Blueberry Muffin** the best possible conditions for full terpene and cannabinoid development. We’ll keep a close eye on trichomes and reevaluate daily to decide when they’re ready for harvest. Thanks to TrollMaster’s environmental control, we’re confident that these changes will lead to a flavorful and resin-rich harvest. Patience is paying off, and we’re almost there! Stay tuned as we inch closer to the long-awaited harvest! 🌟💚
