temps at night?50's will do thatAnyone know what this might be?
That's a good call. Was 45 degrees this morning.temps at night?50's will do that
Then I should be in for a treat, because the weather is projected to be cool and clear for another week, when I intend to harvest. Thanks for the info. Here comes the Purple White Widow, $600/oz. :-DI agree, colder night temps will turn stuff colors. Those who buy fancy genetics that turn all kinds of colors and grow outdoors hope for colder temps close to harvest, so they get those pretty colors.
I’m sure you know this, but I’m going to say it anyways just to be sure, with a clear night sky watch out for morning frost. They get hit with freezing temps it’s game over.Then I should be in for a treat, because the weather is projected to be cool and clear for another week, when I intend to harvest. Thanks for the info.

Lows are projected to be 42* F. But thanks for the reminder.I’m sure you know this, but I’m going to say it anyways just to be sure, with a clear night sky watch out for morning frost. They get hit with freezing temps it’s game over.
600!? Well enjoy!!!! Yeah no frost but stress is good that late in the game as long as it isn't inhabilitating. Stress is GOoodahaaaa!!! White widow is good purple too!!!Then I should be in for a treat, because the weather is projected to be cool and clear for another week, when I intend to harvest. Thanks for the info.

White widow is good, period. I grew these last year, and it was killer. Can't wait for harvest.600!? Well enjoy!!!! Yeah no frost but stress is good that late in the game as long as it isn't inhabilitating. Stress is GOoodahaaaa!!! White widow is good purple too!!!
Are you saying this from experience?They get hit with freezing temps it’s game over.
My own, no. I’ve never left plants outdoors that long. However, it’s common knowledge that freezing temps cause water to solidify into ice crystals. Plants are full of water. Ice crystals will puncher cell walls, killing the plant. That’s why if a plant freezes and then thaws, it turns to mush. I’m sorry you were unfortunate enough to need to shake show off your plants, and I’m glad they survived. I would suspect that even though they had snow on them, they didn’t actually “freeze”. Then again, I may be mistaken. But I’m not leaving my plants outside long enough to find out.....from experience.Are you saying this from experience?
I have often shaken snow off of plants, and they seem not to notice as all.
I use the same model as you regarding the "mode of action" of freezing on cell structure.My own, no. I’ve never left plants outdoors that long.

Agreed. However, I was speaking in general terms. And I think we can both agree that we want to avoid our plants freezing if at all possible. To avoid a more than likely game over scenario.I use the same model as you regarding the "mode of action" of freezing on cell structure.
But when one allows for super cooled water, the ice never forms.
Ice suppression is common in nature and can protect to surprising levels of cold.
