sorry if im sounding redundant i have read alot and everyone seems to have different opinions.
its starting to freeze here like -1*C over night
but next week it will go back up to 15highs 4*c lows
my plant seems to have bin shocked by the frost? the buds are barely growing compared to what they used to. thc seems to still be forming though. i dont see browning on the bud or leaves but there is a little purple, i am wondering should i wait? will it come back and start growing strong again i have bin feeding a bat poop tea molasses and miracle grow mix
so i dont think its a fert problem. i think it could use like 3 more weeks till prime =(

if your realy worried about frost go down to lowes/home depot and buy some clear 50mm plastic lining, and some lengths of bamboo. stab the bamboo into the ground around your plant at a comfterble radius, wrap the bamboo in plastic. the plastic can not be touching the plants. if the plants are touching the plastic moisture will condence in a singular place and that spot will budrot.

put 1 gallon bottles of hot water in the greenhouse at night to create alittle extra heat for the night. this should extend the growing season by 2-3 weeks, and a month if done properly.


IMHO the plants will be fine for alittle while, but they will need somekind of greenhouse to finish properly, you have a window where you can make it, so why not?

GREAT IDEA!

We've been hitting super lows here at night, like 27 one night, only for less than 4 hours. But the sun is strong here and out early every morn. But, I'm still going to do the greenhouse and water.

If you're able to make a makeshift greenhouse why didnt you already have that sucker made! Where i am its not possible for me to do that due to the location of my plants being quite a hike into the woods. I dont want to attract any attention already had choppers last month looking for crops i was biting my nails. Do it up you'll save your plants lives
