5 month old, 1 week into flowering. :/

Its going to be getting cold where i am soon so i need some advice on what to do with my girl. She took a long ass time to start flowering and now winter is just around the corner. Fuck! i just checked the weather site and it says the low in my area is going to be from 19/29 F next week. So now what? My girl is a secret so its not like i can just bring her inside at night. Another question is should i crop off the lower really small branches. Im thinking i don't want lil shitty popcorn nugs that just sap part of the nutrients for the topside bigger shoots of my girl. Please give me something guys!

thats a real tough situation you got there. i know you said that you cant bring it inside, but you will probably have to, or find someone who can. try and make a grow box of some sort and just try to hide it i guess. best of luck to you.

i used to start tomatoes real early in the spring, and on the nights we had a frost advisory, i covered them with a simple home made tent made of that semi clear plastic sheeting, and stuck a heated dog water dish in there with them. i suppose it would work in your case as well. i had plants pull through even with a few inches of snow.
