so it looks like its going to rain all day today and tomorrow and then Thursday it might freeze over here and next week its going to get down to the 30s at night so what can i do to help my plants survive?

 

[superstonerdude]

ok so its been pouring rain here for 2 days straight. the rain finally stopped for the night so i went to check on my plants and they were soaked and one branch on my bubblegum had snapped from the weight. not completely but enough for the bud to be laying on the ground. so i figured with a week and half to two weeks till harvest it wasnt worth tying it up and trying to letting it heal because it probobly wouldnt do much good in 2 weeks. so i just chopped the branch off. well as i said the bud is wet and im scared of mold so what can i do to prevent mold other than drying my bud out fast with a hair dryer or sticking it in the oven lol. heres some pics

It looks great! I would cut the buds off the main cola, and dry as usual.

 

[superstonerdude]

That turned out great! Make sure to check them after they hang. It depends on your humidity, but it should take 3 days - a week to dry. Then its time to jar. There's a ton of curing stickies if you want more info. I can't type very well otherwise I would go into more detail.

Mine went through a couple frosts with no problems. Mulching your plants will help keep the roots from freezing. The wet soil will also help. Make sure you mulch before it freezes.

Congrats, and good luck with your remaining ladies

 

[superstonerdude]

thank you for your advice i didnt have any mulch i just put straw over the soil in the pots i thought it might help but idk.

 

[superstonerdude]

damn i just woke up its 32 degrees outside i went out too my plants and they are pretty frosted over i hope they survive.the low tonight is 25 degrees....fuck.

 

[superstonerdude]

should i go mist my solid frozen plants with warm water to heat them up or what.

 

[superstonerdude]

well i got home about an hour ago and to my surprise my plants look great their all perked up and everything tough little bastards. when i woke up the buds looked like Popsicles now they look back to normal finally got a break in the weather its a nice sunny day but the temps are supposed to get down to 25 tonight so hopefully their ok tomorrow.

 

[bud nugbong]

its suprising what they can go through, i would just be concerned with budrot and mold. if you can shake off the morning dew when you visit them it would help a bunch.

 

[superstonerdude]

ya ill go out their in a min and shake off all the water i can.

 

[Noballs]

How did your girls take the 25 degrees last night? I hope everythings ok.

 

[superstonerdude]

ya their ok they survived another night now its supposed to freeze again tonite and then maybe tomarow and then its supposed to get warm again. i went out to check the trichs and i ended up chopping one more plant with super milky trichs and all those bright pink hair had turned brown so heres some pics .

 

[superstonerdude]

this plant smells very skunky.

 

[superstonerdude]
