There was a light frost on some of the roof tops near my grow this morning. Im not real concerned about that but there calling for even colder temps tonight. Tomorrow night I will be taking water and nutes out to them.
Will I be able to tell by then if the frost hurt them? Ive never had to deal with this before so im not sure what to expect. Does it effect them emediatly or does it take a few day for them to show the damage

I don't know from direct experience but from reading I think it can take up to a couple of days before you know your in the clear. I think a real hard frost you can see the next day but some damage may not show for two or three days. Any chance you can throw a frost blanket on top of them for the coldest night/nights? You can get a camo tarp. I seen camo burlap and 3D camo cloth for ground blinds at Dunhams. I almost bought the 3D one for $22.99 but ended up getting a dog house blind instead. The 3D cover was the thickest and would hide a white frost blanket perfectly.

I wish I could protect them but theres just no way. Theres 15 of them in a pretty remote location and there all between 6 to 8 foot tall.
If it wasnt for my job and wife I would spend the night out there with a couple camp fires

im just gonna be the one to say it. if hic was busted for growing (too many, outdoor, no license etc...) i would think that by now he would have been released till sentencing. can we talk about this or whats the deal?

I was thinking the same thing. Even if he didnt get busted, something bad had to have happened. He wouldnt just dissapear

Some handle frost better than others. Like I have seen people say on other threads. Some plants are the last thing still standing green while everything else around has long wilted and turned brown. Big healthy plants might do just fine. Keep us posted.

The time my plant was damaged by frost, one whole big branch was just dead. It was black, wilted and just hanging there. It wasn't like when a branch gets ripped off and you can still smoke it or make hash. The rest of the plant was fine.

Here's a couple of things I've heard but never tried to help with the cold. The first is to take a garbage bag or some sort of plastic and cover the plant at night(keeps frost off plant). The second idea was like podunk's, only harder to do, they recommended heating up big rocks in a fire and then moving them around your plant at night.

I sure hope Hic is ok. You are right, if arrested, Hic would be out by now. Unless he was into more than we all knew. If he got caught up for some real shit, he may not have bailed himself out and figures he's going to do some time, so start now while waiting for his trial. If he did get arrested for pot and is out on bail, it is possible his lawyer told him not to post in this thread to somehow confirm his identity, but if that were the case, I would think he would have called someone to let them know he's alright. Another scenario, although not very likely, someone else(wife, growing partner, close friend) find out what he was posting here and talked him into stop coming on here. Another possibility, probably the scariest one would be that Hic had a confrontation with someone and wouldn't back down. He has never been the type to back down, and I just worry that someone challenged him in some way, that forced a fight that Hic was on the losing end of. The final thing I can think of is something went wrong with his health and he's in the hospital getting better. I hope whatever he is dealing with, he will be ok soon.

It is definitely possible. It isn't likely, but if someone told him to stop posting, and it was someone he really respected, I think he would listen.
