my plants have been in a flower stage for 12 - 14 weeks now and still seems like they have about a good month left but i dont have anywhere near a month. thats only if i also had good weather but i dont. i havent seen the sun in about a week even when its clear out.... i can maybe keep outside for another week and a half at the most... what should i do? should i just harvest in about a week and a half or try to go longer? even a week and a half is really pushing it for me since the nights will be from 0 to -4 C at nights and no warmer than 10 C during day
this is an 100% outdoor crop so running extension cords and heaters to my plants is not an option for me like some people have suggested in the past.

Wow...they have about 4 more weeks to go. Posibility of transplanting them indoors and putting a HPS over theM?....cold will kill them. Sorry dude.....I think it may be your only option........or cut em and smoke em.... (a huge headache)

ill try grow them as long as i can outside before they cold really gets to them than ill chop them down and dry it all. starting late sucks especially when you have no control over it. relying on ur buddies isnt always the way to go to get you the clones but i cant complain to much for 4 free clones and starting 2 - 3 months late

As long as you have no frost stay outside, the plants are done with their vegatative stage but the buds will keep on swelling up, BTW I think there is never a "perfect" harvest/buds, it's always a little bit of a compromise.

Zero without heat. You say they are covered so put some kind of heating device (I use Propane and Mr Heaters in my hoop house) in with them and seal the covering as best you can. Good luck limping them along for 4 more weeks :)

I'm far from an expert, but maybe somebody got confused on the plant you got. I always thought hash plants were short flowering, mostly indica plants that finished way before now. That BC Hash Plant is listed at like 45 days.

yes it suppose to have short flowering but when you have nearly 2 months straight of either rain clouds and cold days ( just complete shit weather) it does slow the yielding and growth of the plant. from all the shit weather we have been getting here even days where its been a clear sky and no sun at all, it will slow everything down

i couldnt get a proper heat source where my plants were but they seem to have not been effected that bad from the cold cold night. i forgot to mention above i have 4 plants 3 are in 10 gallon buckets and 1 is planted in the ground. the one in the ground is on the mountain side and has been hit by 2 frosts and this cold -10 c night and seems to toughed it all out

this is the plant that has been hit by 2 frosts and survived the past few nights of -4 to -10 c and more nights below 0 to come from this point on.

I think they look great 420! Keep up the good work. Check out the FROST thread - really good info there. I used a patio umbrella w/ blankets hung from sides (not touching plants), and threw in 5 Snuggle Safes - mine survived several weeks @ about 32 F, and a few nights dipped down to 24 F w/ snow... Good luck:)
