. . . . . . . Should I be protecting them more at night time? Some nights reach 5 degrees and since now the harvest will be extended to November I'm thinking they'll need some extra care. . . . . . . . . .

Kayla, you have to remember most of us are used to old money. For everyone in the lower 48, I will translate for you.

5C = 41F

Cold will slow them down. But until you have frosts, you don't really have to worry. Once the frost comes, you will need to find a way to keep the frost off. Either a plastic cover, or some of that white frost cloth. If it gets really cold, you will need to do a full green house type cover with a space heater.

Ah yeah, sorry. I should have put the fahrenheit in brackets.
There isn't frost yet but some mornings already have steamed up windows. So I'll be checking them regularly.
They are actually a greenhouse grow but the space they're situated in the garden doesn't get a full day's sun so I take them out and place them directly in the sun (on the days we even have it). Then put them back in the night to protect them. If I see that it becomes worse then I will try a few different methods. Someone said hay would keep the stalk warmer, as well as the heater you said. Portable heaters aren't too pricey.
Thanks for the advice man, happy growing :)

You can get a little ceramic heater for 20 bucks. But it sounds like you are in good shape. Mulch does help, as well as wrapping up the pot. They would handle the cold much better planted directly into the ground though.

How many hours of direct sunlight does your plant receive? Mine only get 5 hours roughly.... I have a couple of plants of the same strain (Frisian duck) away to friends and they are further on than mine as they receive more daylight hours, and also maturing plants are affected by what time of day they get light as morning light is richer in the blue end of the light spectrum (better vegetative growth like a metal halide bulb) and evening light is rich in red spectrum (like high pressure sodium bulb)which is better to ripen buds in flower. But we always have to adapt and make do with our different surroundings to make it work for best for our own situation.

Yeah that's still much more than mine. Yesterday they got 8 hours of direct sunlight which was great but the upcoming days are just rain. Currently raining pretty hard, but they're in the greenhouse. This weather is very bipolar.
Thanks for the handy information bud :)

(Tell me how Frisian Duck goes, I was debating on growing that strain)

No worries, the Frisian duck is going okay so far a bit of gangly plant and the stems are v rubbery but the buds are coming on nicely. Here's a pic

If my memory serves me correct., Durban Poison is a great strain for colder climates. It should withstand pretty good unless frost.

Yes it is, which is why I chose it. However my biggest bud on my biggest plant has produced mold :cry:. There wasn’t any frost though so it’s strange. But it has been cold and I planted late so I can’t complain. I’ll bring them inside to finish off.
