Does spraying your plant with water protect it from a hard freeze?

I plant on elevated hill sides facing south. There needs to be a low spot for cold air to settle. It will be warmer the higher up. I also plant in thickets or honey suckle. It blocks wind and traps warmth from the ground.

Not pots in cold weather. Plant directly in the ground. Good thick layer of straw around the plant and stalk.

Those steps will help to about the temps you are going to get. Even had tropical sativas handle those temps.

You would be surprised how hard a freeze they can take.

How fast they warm back up makes a huge difference.

Good info. Never heard of kerosene heat before looks promising the problem is tgey are 150 each per heater i would need multiple and idk if it would make sense to get tgem ever tho they seem like a good option. Mught just be beter if spending 60$ on torches and staying out there from 2am to 7 am walking around heating the plants up

Yeah I was just letting you know cause I actually farm for a living and so I know most methods .....I grow alfalfa,corn,oats .....and we lease land but also raise cattle ....good luck .....I've had to use the large garbage bag method a few times it worked put fine for me like I mentioned earlier .....sometimes it takes 6 or 8 bags for a giant plant but better than losing it to frost ....I waited til sun went down and then had bags coming off at first light .....good luck hope it works out for you

How much longer before your plants are done bro? Personally, I want to observe you through to the end of this drama. Would also be curious to see if the cold will turn yours purple. Some genes are prone to that trait.

The remaining 11 will be choped on the 29th. The freeze is expected on the 23erd. I gotta be outa this spot im renting by ovtober 2 so they gitta come down then. They should be pretty close to finished. Ya when it got 30 the ither night some tops of some colas turned slightly purple just the very tips. Growing irainian auto x g13 they shoulda all been done by now but i disnt have the nutes dialed in properly to much n not enough pk ( first outdoor grow and im in a cold climate) nigjt temps have been 50f at the highest usually 40 and some nights in the low 30s but all in all im happy with the results.

Also depending how cold..

Nothing really to worry about till low teens and even then ..
Needts to be that solid for atleast a few days.

I've had heavy sats a couple-few weeks old get several inches of snow like nothing

I got lots of purple on my OGK this year do to cold temps they look gorgeous .....my 12 ft silver haze is 20 feet away with no color change at all .....same with my dreamstars no purple ....weirdly even my bannana OG didn't change color wise much ....but the OGK is very purple ....weather is changing fast where I'm at faster than normal ...it can't decide if it's ready to be constant cold or get warm again ....but I'm close to done anyway so as long as it don't rain in the next few weeks il be done dizzle and finally in chill mode

What is a pop up canopy going to do? Ive heard that the logic behind covering olants is that the ground releases heat and if you cover them you trap the heat. But with a pop up that just covers above the plant. To my knowledge that wouldnt be of any use...???

You're just keeping the frost off of them. I store my hibiscus like this over winter.
