I grow outdoors in Aus, and I just checked the conversion, your 28f is equal to our 2c, I had girls in first week of flower, we got a silver frost, with temps to -6 celcius, none died, but all stopped flowering, and it was enough stress to turn 4 out of the 12 to hermie when they started reflowering

Cover those plants when you know a frost is coming. It's worth the work.
Yeah I normally do, Just didn't know it was coming, I thought it was gone, I had them covered for the worst ones, the frost that burnt that one wasn't a bad frost, was about 2 degrees celcius, hopefully it's over for this year , she's coming good

I should have some information to contribute soon. Living in Canada it won't be long until we get a frost. This is my first grow so there was a lot of experimenting. I planted half in the ground and half in pots.

Obviously I won't be moving the in ground ones but I can move the potted ones into the garage to protect them from the frost. I will post back after our frost starts on how they make out.

I also noticed my in ground ones are already flowering pretty hard while the potted ones are not. I was told the strain is NYC Diesel but I have no clue since they were given to me and this is my first time. I have 100 acres so I figured why not giver a shot.

Do you think an auto would fare well with cold weather? Only ask coz I'm guessing the ruderalis in them makes them more Hardy? Think I read that somewhere? I can't grow indoors anymore would there be any point trying outdoors? Thinking of planting this week
 
If you're in Canada you probably won't be able to I know around me I'm only hitting 11-10 hrs of sun on good days and I know that the snow will forsure be falling November , so if you know how to grow in snow by all means !:) or maybe a good green house ? Keep temps maybe 2 or 3 deg higher but I would just try and go stealthy inside
