FROST: general rules from experience....

[hotrodharley]

Here in Interior Alaska we're looking at upper 20's Monday morning. June 11. My stealth grows will just have to tough it out. Had 10 Chemdawgs hermie last year. Pulled the last one in July. A friend stopped in late September after several freezes and those damned things were alive. Just the rootballs implanted and uncovered and the plants still green. Tough suckers.

Psilocybo's Malawi Bangui, pure sativa [Malawi Gold X (Congo X Nepal Higlands Sativa)] : down little buds after the cooldest night of Winter here ( -5 °C ), in January-7 :

Yikes, glad I don't live somewhere that shit happens... I can grow outdoors 12 months a year.

I do grow outdoor year round. But I have a winter. This past winter got me pretty good. We had a week in the mid to low 20's, with two nights down to 16-Fucking-F degrees. I've gone through light freezes and frost with minimal damage, but that shit killed all of it.

This is a kush plant that handled almost freezing temp before we could get the field down . Tested at 24 percent and stayed just fine .

 

[3B ID]

Hi all, my question is, at what temp do you really get worried and want to cover at all? Is it say, 36F and under or is to frost dependent? We get colds here to almost that temp but no actual frost,. would you all cover or let it ride? As usual we rebound into warmer temps until about sept 30. Thanks all and happy to have found you.

 

[whisperer57]

im ok to about 28 degrees F, once the flesh of the plant freezes, it dies pretty quick.

 

[Cannabis.Queen]

I can get away with a frost or two as long as the plants are well watered and get sun in the afternoon lol

Usually -3 is the killer anything above I can get away with

 

[LordRalh3]

Gonna hit 30 tonight, should be interesting, have em nicely watered and if they make it through tonight, the weather actually warms up into the 60s again for a week or more and i can hold off a bit longer on the chop

 

[too larry]

You guys are killing me. I haven't got below 72 yet. I've just seen my first low in the 60's in my 10 day forecast. 68 and 69F about a week out.

I'll check back in in January for frost.

We always have a few light frost in Nov and Dec, but often there isn't a killing frost until the New Year. Great for your late okra patch. Not so good when you are wanting the skeeters to get killed off.

Well the skeeters are still here . But it’s getting wet and cold so bud rot has become a concern

My short summer days is fucking with me. I max out at 14 hours 7 minutes. Most of my new strains are used to Oregon light hours. I had shit start to flower in late May. Most everything was flowering by July. It rains almost every day here during the summer. Doesn't slow down that much until about now. I haven't picked a fully ripe plant yet. Lost half or more of my crop so far. I'm still planting, just so I can flower some in the dryer months to come.

Nice. Most of my close ones are already down. I've got three more rounds of late season stuff that is from 4 weeks into flower to just breaking dirt this morning. Those last ones will be New Year's bud {if all goes well}.
