It's a cross between white widow and skunk #1. When I get a chance I'll take a pic. The amazing thing too is that its in a 1 gallon pot. It should be dead by now. lol

I mostly grow for seeds in the winter. Less chance of them being ripped or found by the cops.
I would say I've lost around 1/3 of all my winter growing due to cold.

What zone or general area are you in?

NW Florida. Around the I-10 corridor. We've had a couple of three white frost this week. Also a couple of days in the 70's. You don't get a ton of growth when it's that cold, but it doesn't kill them unless they just came from under lights or out of a hot house.

Oh boy!
THose plants are looking sick she is doing.This bending structures. Awesome.
But i also like your approach about getting as much stress as possible to see what they can take. The only thing mising is you hitting them!!

They have been in my cold ass garage all winter with no fertilizer and barely any water, but are still putting on new growth. I am surprised at how tough marijuana is, and will be way less worried about this year’s crop. Last year was my first grow and I was constantly fussing over them — now realize that was totally unnecessary.Oh boy!

I always keep stalled out deficient stepchild plants around, for science, but wtf would you purposely introduce PM to your property?

I didn’t — my wife has a bunch of house plants and it seems to arise on it’s own inside. Outside, I assume it’s from neighbor’s gardens. It hasn’t really been that big of an issue, just a matter of management. I’ve got a strain that seems almost totally impervious to it.

I was pretty drunk and high when I conducted this stress test, but I’ve been surprised how well they’ve weathered the mistreatment.
All 3 have survived in my garage where temperatures near freezing most nights. I barely water them and never fertilize. They don’t look great but a lot healthier than they have any right to be. If anything my experiment has given me a lot more confidence about how rough I can treat my seedlings this coming spring.
This is how my battered clones look now:

Rosemary is going to be turned into bonsai trees, but all the clones have survived the winter and look good. Not sure what I’ll do with them — probably give a couple away.
