i have 3 plants that are maybe in their 9th week of budding the temp is cold outside i think it might get down to 30 tonight, but i cant harvest for another 2 weeks due to lack of time, some of the leaves are turning yellow and the buds are starting to turn purple, will they be ok for another 2 weeks?

Could you not bring them inside over night as it'll only be for 2 weeks. I wouldn't risk it myself.

Well, as the buds are turning purple I'd say there's a def risk to the plants so either think of some way to keep them warm at night or chop early ~ sorry if I'm not being as helpful as you'd like.

I'm in the same predicament. The temp here this am was 30F. The plants were covered in frost but there fine now. I figure Ill cut right away if they do freeze, I need about another week and its supposed to be warmer 55-60F hopefully it will be enough. Good luck!

what state do you live? No your plants won't make it another 2 weeks if you live around MI. I would watch it because they will get slimey overnight when they have had enough of it!

ok well im gonna answer my own question for other people cause no offense but you gays were no help at all, i researched and this is what i came up with....

cannibus can survive in tempuratures from 60 to 90 degrees, it can survive a few frost but after a few times, the tissue starts to die, but in some cases the buds can last till december in mild weather. so to answer my own question it should be able to a few weeks of 40 to 60 degree nights anything below might start to destroy the buds and they will get slimely and might develop mold, i hope this answers people question who might come along this issue.
