Plants drooping from cold...

[electricthot12]

I have an unheated indoor grow room that got cold enough last night to leave my plants drooping, and tonite is expected to be a little colder. They are about halfway through flowering, with no amber trichomes yet. Should I panic and harvest?

No. You should add a space heater to the room.

If your only half way through flowering there’s no point chopping now, might as well keep the plant warm as possible and ride it out.

4 week weed sounds like a headache that's not worth it. Hopefully you can find a way to add heat to your room and get the ladies growing again.

How big an issue is immature potency here? Volume loss is not much of a concern for me.....

 

[Rsawr]

how long have the plants been flowering, and can we see pics?

 

[electricthot12]

They've been flowering 4-5 weeks.

I looks underwatered
Mine haven’t had an issue and it’s been 32f several nights

Chopping at 5 weeks is like picking an apple about 1 month too early. It might look like an apple ... then you bite into it. EWW!!

Agree with previous suggestions - a small heater in the grow room will ensure that warm air is pulled in through the lower vent.

Looks underwatered to me too.

Agreed, watering issue, underwatered or possibly overwatered, that can make leaves droop too.

Doubt temp has anything to do with this, you're indoors. Unless it's 32 or below in that room, plants should be fine. Many members here have had plants even survive a little frost (although not for any extended time). Overnight lows here get to upper 30's/low 40's and no outdoor issues here

 

[Hook Daddy]

Leaves and stems are drooping, my guess is underwatered as well.

No the cold wont hurt it and for the love of pete, water it..

Agree.. looks underwatered. You have any idea how cold it does get at night? If you do put a heater in there, make sure your panel can handle the amp load. Heaters pull the amps! Some as much as 15a. So if your sharing a 20a breaker, that's not going to work. You'll need a dedicated 20a breaker.

Mine was droopy this morning too at -5 Celsius

 

[DoubleAtotheRON]

-5?.. damn. That's a hard freeze. Is it gonna make it?

The sun hasn’t been out yet today, and it snowed a little. My guess is she’s done for now, was hoping the sun was going to come out and it would’ve had a fighting chance then.

Well... at least you got that killer looking fence. I really dig that. If I lived in town, I'd do something similar.

...duh...They needed water. Thanks, Guys.
