My night time temps are hitting the 50 to 55 degree range now and the plants are just starting to flower. Not sure what this doing to them, but it can't be good!

Daytime 74f
Night time 64 f.

Buy a space heater and you can put it on a temp controller . If your in the states there are lots of great options on amazon and in your growstores. Or online hydro stores.

heat mats to keep the roots warm and they will fine, better than trying to warm the room up and exhaust the hot air.

No problem. The most important thing you can do is to keep them well watered and mulched. It insulates the roots this way.
Mine go through a couple of frosts sometimes down to 28 degrees and as long as I water the heck out of them the night before they are always fine :)

This shot was taken the morning of the second frost that year. View attachment 4184916
Thank you for the tip. Those plants look great!

I hit 58 last night and will hit that again tonight. My girls responded fine. I was actually happy to see it, as it has been so hot here this summer and this was more the norm this morning. Still got to 80 today, and with the earlier sunsets, my girls are rockin'!!

i have never gotten mold knock on wood, if its going to rain hard or hail i might cover them but other then that i only worry about when is best to start covering them up from extreme cold. i would probably get mold if i did like others and did light dep because they would be budding during the rain cold hot time of the year. if the cold damages my tomatoes the next night the girls are covered if its colder or as cold
