yeah its actually in the ground. So if the buds freeze and die they will still be good to smoke? I am afraid that I may loose more smoke from frost than I will gain by growing longer.
This is after several frosts.
I chopped after a temp of 24 degrees. I think 22 degrees
will destroy them. Most of the damage was in the leaves. I was forced to trim really tight. They wilted and would have rotted (I think) if I would have left them on. If I had to do it again,I would chop before 22 degrees. Good luck I hope I'm not to late!I looked at ur pics. My plant looks nothing like that. My plant has tight buds. As a matter of fact it looks almost exactly like ur avitar except my colas are more purplish-brown and the leaves growing at top of cola are curled up and getting crispy. Maybe it is closer to harvest than I think. I dont have a camara to take a pic. I have been reading this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/462407-outdoor-growing-faq-read-before.html. Halfway down are pics he posted showing "not ready" and "ready". My colas are much much closer to the ready pics than the not-ready pics. The only thing is that I see new growth almost daily and they arent "fuzzed" up nearly as much as the "ready" pics in the other thread so that is why I think they have a few more wks to harvest.
its already been thru 1 frost. One night about 3 wks ago it got down to 30F with a heavy dew. The plant actually had ice on it.
good luck man. I just looked at her again. It looks like the frost damaged the fan leaves only(of which this plant has very few for some reason). The buds look ok and all the smaller type leaves which grow in with colas look ok. Id think by tomorrow I could tell for sure but I think shea ok but the fan leaves prolly wont perk up, I think they are done for.
My plant had tight buds also. That pic was after the freeze and all the leaves wilted.
