Do you think my babies will be ok there will be frost tomorrow night and my plants need about a week to finish!

Please anyone with some outdoor advice would be great I am a indoor grower and not that experienced with the outdoor crops!

Do you think I should cover them with a sheet? I am able to go out cover them for the night if ya think that will help!

Freaking out here please help!

or try a black trash bag. i know the dont normally survive under 50 degrees. or actually, they stop growing under 50 degrees. but 0 sounds deadly

thats pretty cold it wouldnt hurt to cover it,i think they would be ok at like 30 or so but i dont know if only 1 day would be too bad,i would keep em as warm as you can and you should be ok,is it supposed to get warmer after that?

Are you talking Celsius or Fahrenheit? If it's Celsius then, yes, cover them. That way the dew can't freeze on the plants and cause extensive damage. If you're talking Fahrenheit then forget it. They're dead.

Ok yes 32 or 0 witch ever ya go by and it will be good all week after that I have 9 plants waist heigh!
I think the best thing to do is harvest half so I am sure to have some without problems and leave half of them out there I am thinking I will cover them with plastic garbage cans what do you guy's think of this plan!
Oh and I live in the northern Canada!

I figured you were talking Celsius. :p

Good luck and good idea on harvesting half your crop. Better safe than sorry. My personal motto is: "I'd rather be paranoid than dead."

Thats what I thought too they are pretty much ready could go another week to fully ripen but they are well enough along to harvest!
So I will pick 4 or 5 tomorrow and the ones that stay I will cover for the frosty night one thing about the cold is if they live they will turn nice colors!

Thank you all for the advice I will post some pix tomorrow have a good night everyone!!!!

That's weird it's only going to 72 tomorrow night where I live.

But anyway, 0 degrees... Your plant is pretty much dead. How far into flowering is she?

umm.... 0 is 32 using Celsius. But I hear ya. We are getting down to the upper 50s and lower 60's here. But our elevation is over a mile up. :)

personally i wouldnt chop, i would just cover them to be safe and i bet they make it. ppl will even leave there plants out in a frost and have them make it, ive heard stories that well all the surrounding vegitation is brown and dead, the bright green colas of ur plant are still alive, i bet thats y there seems to be so many more choppers in the fall

cover with a tarp like a tent with rope between tow trees. place hard warms in side the tent. or get a hay bail and soak it with water it will heat your tent for about a week

Ok well I chopped 5 of 9 plants down but will roll the dice on the last 4!
It is going down to 32 or 0 at 4:00am at 6:00 it will be 30 or -1 and back to good conditions for the rest of the week!
I never covered the remaining 4 just let them go and see what happens I will check them first thing in the morning and post results in the afternoon!
Hope all is well with them but at least I harvested half only a little early maybe a couple days to a week!
Fingers crossed!
