I’ve got several plants outdoors that are close to harvest but not quite ready, but forecasted low tonight is 35, and tomorrow is 39. Would it be wise to err on the side of caution and pull them? Thanks, Dan

Are you able to cover them with plastic? Are they moveable within reason? Without seeing the plants, its hard to answer that. You must be in a rather northern area. I'm in Michigan and most nights have been in the 50's here lately.

Northern New York, Adirondacks. Problem is I’m away from home from tomorrow morning until Sunday, and I’d hate to leave them covered all day Saturday until Sunday night when I get back.

If they are photos your plants most likely have only been flowering 4-5 weeks and likely have 2-4 weeks to go. You pick them early, you'll lose weight and potency. You wait and it frosts, they could be dead or damaged. It's not a great situation any way you look at it.

A few years ago I had an Alaskan Purple get hit with frost and my water nearby had a skim of ice before the sun warmed everything. It survived and was harvested a week later. Don't know if the trics were damaged, but no one complained about the quality.

The autos could be ready. They certainly are close. Trichome pictures through digital microscope is my preferred way to check. It does look like you're entering the harvest window though.

Genetics you're using are from that area of the world. They will survive in conditions another cultivar might not. Not all cultivars are that hardy.

I do agree, I am not that far up north but have more than a few times left some girls brave some 30- 35 deg weather for a few nights, as long as the day temps were rebounding up into the 50-60,s during the days.The end result was darker purples,oranges and reds.
At this point there is not much of a alternative unfortunately outside of pulling them too early.If it's just a couple days of it she will probably be stronger for it, girls tend to push more thc and temps during low temps as long as were not talking hard freezes for more than 2 days straight.
I wish u the best of luck and fortune and I hope to see some pics of her if all goes well .bye my friend, sincerely, Kyfarmerb1984
