I've got two buds who have some really good buds coming along but they definitely need more time. The moment there is even a threat of a light frost they're gonna chop. The average first frost date here is 10/20. That just the average date and some years it can be another three weeks b4 we get a hard frost.
In 40 years of growing I've found that this is a tough plant. Varietal dependent to some degree but tough none the less. I've walked into grow sites with thick vegetation after a decent frost and the only thing growing and standing tall is the marijuana. Big plants glistening from plump tricomes that had made it through the frost with hardly a burned leaf.
I guess my question is whether or not the majority of cold weather farmers panic or recognize that they could have a couple more weeks of fattening up. Do you guys chop as soon as the weather guy says theres a chance of frost or do you wait. I've been able to get plants that don't really have enough time to finish through a hard frost by using Remay. Its light enough that it's not going to crush anything and you can really buy some time if needed. Remay also has the benefit that sunlight shines right though it and properly wrapped a plant can even ward off Botrytis.
Panic or patience. What's more rewarding?
