Temps dropping below freezing! Please advise!

Hey everyone,

So i have a couple plants going in NH. They still have a week or two left to flower.

The forecast for tonight originally said mid 30's which made me worry but i figured they would be ok since they survived a few frost already.

Now, just checked the updated forecast and it says high 20's!!!!! Holy Crap what should I do? I know thats waaay too cold for my girls.

Any advice? Should I just go out at 4AM and cut em down? Please need advice ASAP

THANKS

I enjoy the colors it brings out.
I would leave them be for now.

I like the way you think.......I have a few weeks left as well......But its going to take more then a cold night for me to cut down a immature plant.

Cover them with a tarp or plastic. If the frost kills them time to harvest. It's normal for a couple leaves to die from the cold but you'll know when it kills the plants.

Just go with the flow, it should be fine. Chop her down when its ready, you will see some warm temps during the day soon. Now if you had snow on them, thats a problem, a lil frost is alright.
 
One plant of mine was left outside last night by mistake. It went below freezing. The weather says it went to -1C, which is about 29F. Some leaves are showing translucent along the veins or along the edges. There are wilted, soft leaves and the entire top is tipped over and soft and wilted from frost. We'll see what happens. I am very unhappy about this.
