how bad is the cold really

heres the situation, i have a nice big house to grow in right now and iv been loving it, however now its time for change and im going to move. so i have 6 plants that will be too big to flower in this new place (about 1-2 month veg already. good size plants) i dont really want to throw them away so my first thought was heavy pruning. i topped and took about 1/2 the mass off the girls but they just going. the plan was to take off the top 2 node of the stalk every week or few days till i worked my way down to a managable height. problem with this is the massive stress i know im causing so i started to think about the great outdoors...
so heres the info. a few mature plants in 5 gallon smartpots with a thriving micro-biotic ecosystem in the root-zone, would these plants tolerate cold if i were to put them out in early march? hoping that maybe with a good deep rootzone the dirt wouldent be as cold that deep and maybe it would make it better off? the farmers alminac claims a fair chance of 2 mild frost days after march 5th here where the temp could be 30.
plan was to just plant the smartpots and walk away, the roots would get out into the surrounding soil very quickly. the stalks of the plants very from the thickness of a pencil to about my thumb.
any thoughts or feedback would be great

I think it will work personally. let me know your decision. dirrtyd

idk it may work as long as you dont get hit with a freak winter storm...

another idea is to clone your plants right before you move so you can transport 15 small clones easier than 6 big plants, then let them veg abit more at your new base and youll have 15 plants to put out

i duno man depends on the day time temps anything below 56 it isint guna grow....and can you just bring them indoors at night and put back out in the morning? thats what i do when its guna get too too cold.

40-50f the plants will start suffering but they should survive 24hrs..i would'nt go much lower then that..or longer..C Krew is right best to clone them..clone them in coffee cups put them in DD cup holders keep them on the floor in your car/truck run some heat on them..it works ..

Thanks for the advise so far please keep the imput coming, as for clones I have no worries there my next batch is growing currently in order to flower in the cab shortly after move ( giving a minimum 1-2 weeks veg in new space to adapt bfore flower) so it's never a worry about running out of plants for me', it's simply what is the best option. I'm also a legal medical card holder with friends that owe me' favors so I'm sure I could beg a quality clone no matter what.

Given that added info what are the thoughts? Though them out for fun as my name implies? Or try to prun back extremely as a test of the marry Jane. I do have a 1/2 lb stash for some room to play with this, while I grow a tiny micro at my apartment.

Cannabis420, my worry is Getting cought putting out alot of plants.

I have a ezcloner 60 site, I could pump out clones, each of my plants are ready to give. My issue is how easy is it? I have big healthy plants, but would they live or it is simply too soon. Keeping in mind the sun rise sun set time is only 12.5 hours currently. Ambient light may help but how much?

I stick with my original statement put them out and let us know. dirrtyd
