FROST: general rules from experience....

Reigning I notice your plant is in a bucket next to a building, is bringing it in at night at option? This could really extend your season. Either way even being next to the building during a frosty night would help your plant.
Most of mine are about the same point of flowering as yours and I plan to let them take the first couple of frosts and try and make it to the middle of October. I am more concerned with mold at this point. There was just a week of hot, humid rainy days here and it caused a bit of mold.
Good Luck!!

I just moved it over to the shed in order to take the pictures otherwise its in my field all day. I would be able to bring it in at night but I haven't yet. I was thinking more like end of October beginning of November harvest though just because shes so small looking.

Frost warning round 2 tonight. Round 1 ended up being frost free in my neighborhood but tonight they are saying down to 2*C so I am expecting a frost. I wish our Quebec gardeners luck as there are reports of snow there!!

It's cool out for sure... may drag my girl in off the deck into the kitchen tonight! Shit... she's in a 15 gallon pot has lots of soil .. not watering at night. I have a room in the basement.. it's just getting her there as the she's god damn heavy and I AM A WEAK OLD WOMAN! She's only 4 weeks into flowering so I can't imagine her finishing in another 4 weeks... May have to bring in some help.

So the plants in the woods didn't get any frost and weren't even pouting (leaves drooping down). However the one in an open field which is low and bushy had some frost on the top of the flowers. The tarps blew off the cucumbers so they might done, there was ice on the leaves lol.

I have dealt with plenty of frosts, if you can cover them would be best, I have never had the frost harm the plants, the biggest problem I have found with frost is the bud rot afterwards. If you cannot cover them try to shake off as much of the moisture as possible and keep a close eye out for the bud rot.

They should more than double before frost, probably won't be able to run them as long as try should but you'll get alot more than you have now for sure.

Yeah I've been out here early with tweezers taking off spots here and there but not a whole lot so far. Less than a gram I think.

i just don't wanna lose all my colas to bud rot either . I was just out back doing some maintenance and found a cola half rotted I cant afford to start losing colas . think il gain more than il lose if I let go for two more weeks . I cant check the trichs either I have no scope . I just hope they do finish up they don't look to be getting that much bigger but may be because ivebeen back checking on them more the usual

Thanks a lot Freck, the pin seems to have helped the bushiness and some of the budding. I was told this was an old trick to make the plant thing its diseased and therefore sends more nutrients up in two separate stems, doubling the nutrients. Anyways, it was experimental, but I have started using 10-57-10 for the blooming. I just started recently but I am going to watch my levels of nutrients since i have been giving it daily, I may switch to every other day. Here are some updated pics. Thanks for the input guys I have taken it into account.

Fuck pics wouldnt upload for some reason, ill come back soon with some more

Hey yo ,

here is my 5 ''little'' monsters bag seeds . started germination inside 05 May , they supported several days 4 Celsius , and wondering how much time i have to wait till i harvest , 20 % of the leaves started to yellowing to some of them . I post some pics maybe someone can make a time evaluation .
These plants are in normal soil , no chemicals or some' like that , only plain water .Immag0059.jpgImmag0060.jpgImmag0061.jpgImmag0062.jpgImmag0065.jpgImmag0064.jpgImmag0069.jpgImmag0065.jpgImmag0074(1).jpgImmag0075.jpgImmag0074(1).jpgImmag0070.jpg

as far as not having a scope to use to view your trichs. you can always use a pair of binoculars, just hold them opposite your normal use. meaning look through the big end and hold the small end toward the trichs...hope this helps with at least not having a scope part for you

I understand , i used a 10X to see the trichomes and 80% of them are grey not clear , should i allow few days ? i noticed that in my last grow that was pulled to early that the trichomes can become from cristal clear to a shiny amber in the drying and curring process . Should i chop them or allow another few days . I am worry about the thing that they result in a strong couchlock .
