I've had gg make it through frost snow and temps in the 30's for almost a week. My green crack died on the 2nd and 3rd day in same week. Depends on the strain. Better bust out the schnapps and for them. Just kidding. Might relax us though. Crossing my fingers for us all.

So you think just let it ride out? Or if Im able should I throw some fans up? Wont that just blow cold air on them?

A covering should protect them. And provide a micro environment. Plants and soil activity generate heat. Your trying to contain that and prevent ice forming in your cells. A fan defeats this. Temps are colder due to evaporation. Orchards use them to prevent frost ,ice crystals from forming on plants that can tolerate colder temps. Blow em dry before you cover if wet. If still in the 30's for day? Remove plastic. Blow dry and recover to catch ambient heat and suns IR. Just watch for wilting. Sun is still pretty hot for another month.

If I am able to place some of these on my porch or garage, is that something to consider?

in southern mass we are running rather low DLIs latly.... 30-35... id be worried moving them under anything wil lower ur DLI to below 25.... this is basically too low for the plant produce... it will survivie and may add biomass... but wont add cannabinoids.. i wouldnt move them inside without some kinda light above them...

Was afraid of that . Had little blotches on my leaves . Was out there with neem oil wiping it off lol hopefully that stops it . Gonna put a fan in there at night . I use the tarp for light and rain purposes but the humidity levels have been crazy . Thanks was wondering about that .

I had to move them back and forth cause of the rain and heavy winds . It sucks cause when you move them , you risk damaging pistils. Even tho they grow back I’d rather keep what I got LOL ive only got three going .And it’s been a hell of a time lol don’t know how people manage dozens lol

Mine weathered last night okay, but it's tonight and tomorrow that have me slightly worried. Gonna be what it's gonna be.

The one positive is the coldest part of overnight "tonight" (may get down to 30) is right around 6am, and the sun will be coming up not too long after.

Unless your plants are small, I would think it’ll take more consistent cold temps to kill our girls. Weather in my neck of the woods seems to
Be warmer than most of the mass holes tho even still I don’t think anybody will wake up to a corpse. Consider a blanket At the base to keep the roots warmer

Geez, I'm located in Ipswich (on the coast) and after a single frost last year I lost pretty much 2 entire plants. I'm fearing the frost this year as I have about 2 weeks left (3 ideally).

Hey neighbor. Lucky you with the 2 weeks left.
Im looking at mine and thinking i am screwed. Maybe by Halloween from the looks of em.

I recall reading somewhere that cold weather accelerates growth . Not sure if this is accurate or not .
