FROST: general rules from experience....

[JoObJoOb]

thats a good question,but id atleast cover them with something,when sonw and rain hits,temps are about the same down here,but no snow or rain,and 60s in day time,i did read some post saying u dont want it to stay wet for long,unless its good sunny day the next day,to help dry them,also have read its ok to cover themto keep from getting soaked

 

[JoObJoOb]

one lady here covered her plants with a patio unbrella and hung the sides with tarps and stuff,and put some heat in it,she said hers are doing fine

Hooray!! My girls survived 2 24 degree nights in a row, 2nd night w/ 3"snow!!! They look awesome today

Used the patio umbrella w/ blankets hungs from sides to cover, and found these great things called "Snuggle Safe". They're made to put into pet beds - it's a 10" disc you pop in the nooker for 5 min, then it stays warm for 8-12 hours. I used 4 of 'em in the tent, and I LOVE those things!! They saved my girlies

Just FYI for all peeps trying to fight the frost & get harvested

Good luck & happy trimming!

What about snow/rain and a frost? I read this thread through and did a few searches but still have yet to find an answer to this question so I thought I would ask here. We had a mild frost a few nights ago and the forecast is calling for a three or four day snap of highs of 45 and mornings going as low as 28, with snow/sleet/rain possible on Wednesday. My Connie Chungs are on day 68 of flower and could use another week or so from the color of the trichs (60 clear 30 milky 10 amber) and overall look of the buds. Should I chop before the rain/snow/sleet? Or should I wait it out and see what happens? Covering them is not an option due to location and detection reasons. I want to see my plants mature completely, but I don't want to lose it all in the process. Thanks for any help and advice

.....and sorry about reposting, I just didn't want it to get buried

well the guy who started this post,is probly alot more experienced then i,i just reading what others say about it,my plants still growing strong,but we wont have snow here for a month or 2,its like 70 out right now,lol

 

[Freda Felcher]

Forecast changed and it's coming sooner than expected. Frost is setting in around nine tonite, light snow switching to rain around 5 am. Frost is forecasted to break around nine or ten and then only warm up to a high of 40 and mixed showers through the day. So that's like twelve hours of frost with another ten hours of sleet and rain. As much as I want them to finish, 68 days will do. Let me know what you guys would do, and if you need more info, look at my post above, thanks!

 

[JoObJoOb]

id do the umbrella to cover them,,but,,i dont live in midwest,for that reason,lol,hate that kind of weather,dont get much of it down here,maybe 1 month outa the year will be shitty

 

[Freda Felcher]

Dude, why do you keep burying my posts? I was being polite about it before, but now it's just annoying. This thread was intended to help people with frost questions, not for you to clutter it with nonsense about your brother in Loveland CO or how you add weed instead of basil to your chili...I get it, you use an umbrella to cover it, you told me now in three different posts. But I already said covering IS NOT AN OPTION. Yet you post again and again about incessant bullshit that strays from the topic completely, burying good questions people have. Why don't you just start your own thread and do your little updates and sidenotes there... .........................................................................................................................................................................................................................NOW, if anyone can help me out, my full question is posted above, just sift through the shit posts JOObJoob buried it in. sorry about being a prick everyone but I put months and months of hard work into these girls and don't want to spoil it now. Weather moved in faster than expected and I ONLY HAVE A FEW HOURS TO MAKE A DECISION before the snow/sleet/rain. Thanks for the help

Lucky me!! I didn't drop my cover soon enuf yesterday & my girlie got wet in some rain. Covered overnight, and it went down to 26 (she was wet overnight) - I was really afraid I'd be up all night trimming frozen buds, but she looks awesome after work today!!! Didn't even heat up the Snuggle Safes! I love my plant!!!! Good luck Freda, altho it sounds like ur going to start pulling tonite - honestly I don't blame you, it's freakin' scary after all that hard work all summer long!!

 

[Freda Felcher]

Hope it works out for you Kstub! Yeah, I'm trying to decide right now whether to chop all four of my beasts or leave one to weather the storm? I'm curious to see if it would ride it out and how the smoke would be cutting it in another week instead of now. Each plant looks to have about a half a P, so I don't wanna lose all that either, so I may leave the one but cut its tops and see what the bottom will do. Tough call with the rain snow tomorrow morning and the cold snap moving in.

 

[JoObJoOb]

ayes it is about frost and the affects,which i am posting pics of because i to am interested in this,which is why im documenting it on this thread and another,,and i do have my own threads here 2 of them,if figure someone new may like to see pictures of a week time a plant sits in cold and frost,and the affects of it on the color of the plant,but the titlle doesnt say,snow and rain and sleet,so have a nice day too : ) thanks for droping in,and i mean that

 

[Freda Felcher]

Great story joob.........I'll try this question again in hopes someone may have some alternate suggestions or thoughts. Maybe it w0on't get buried again by "random thoughts" guy.....: What about snow/rain and a frost?

I went early this morning and chopped, the frost was a medium to heavy one and it's staying in the low 30's all day. Glad I got them all cut! After checking trichs, I noticed on the main colas they had gone to 70% cloudy, 15% clear and 15% amber. I would have liked to wait another week to add more bud density, but I'm very happy with what I got If anyone still has any suggestions to add to my questions above, shoot away. If nothing else it would help the next guy/gal in that predicament. Thanks!

 

[JoObJoOb]

heres some earny morning pics,after 3 or 4 days all alone in the cold night,really showing some purp and other colors now,supposed to frost tonight,will be interesting to see what happens after that,trics are still 60 cloudy 10 clear,30 amber,but that changes as the day warms up,amber seems to be mostly on leaf tips,atleast 12 week in flower now,and still dont seem to want to finnish,grrrr

Check the frost dates in Tennessee. I thought something was fishy when he was talking about night temps already consistently in the twenties so I did a search of local weather in several areas in TN(including mountains). No frost or snow there as of now, yet he claims to have already endured both snow and frost, with multiple nights in the 20's. This dude JoOBjOob is a liar and just talks on here to talk, troll or to receive extra attention or something.

 

[kstub]

Hey Freda, glad you got your girls in! I don't think they would have liked staying out in that weather - the fact that it wasn't going to warm up for shit the next day. A forecast like that prob would've made me decide to pull too! 1 weather report in my area said it may go down to 9 or 10 on Monday!!! CRAP!! Not enuf umbrellas or Snuggle Safes in the world for that shit!!!! I'll be trimming 'til further notice...

 

[BarnBuster]

just got the last of mine in today. supposed to drop to 28 tomorrow.no way to cover them up 40N Midwest

 

[JoObJoOb]

some people are just rude i guess,no where have i ever said the temps was ,it the 20s,lmao,get over it,its hardly ever in the 20s in tn,maybe in january for a few days,i said low 40s-30s at night and in 60s in day, but we do have one night comeing up that supposed be 28
try to state facts corectly if your gona call some one a lier please
