Should I harvest now to avoid cold weather?

Foster823 · Oct 9, 2025

I currently have one plant in the ground a blue green. It is quite big around 7 feet. I know I’m getting close but I’m not sure 100% if I’m looking at it, right. There is cold weather coming in this weekend and I’m wondering if I should harvest now or wait it out and hope for the best appreciate your feedback.

Cold? No idea what that means with no temp given.

Cannabis during finish needs low humidity and hopefully airflow. Temps at night way down to 35 will not hurt plant as long as your humidity is on check. I do not grow outside but ya hear things around here.
In October in Ohio biggest reason to pull is extended cool rain. Clear and cold is love from nature.

In my opinion, Im not seeing any amber, looks like at least another week. Im not sure if I would be as afraid of the temp as I would be of bud rot due to the cooler temps not drying the excess water (rain/dew). You might want to look the plant over closely to ensure it has not already happened. Also you might consider a partial harvest so it wont be a total loss if everything goes to !@$%.

Good Luck

yeah, that would probably help right now. They are calling for temps 28 to 32.

Plants need to be alive to fight infections and continue doing what plants do. Plants stall at 55 but they will die if any water in the plant freezes.
You can rent a kerosene blower and keep them going but again everything will depend on humidity. Very few places will not dump moisture during below 32 to daytime temps. Dew point is very low at those temps.

They live on completely covered this morning frost but perked back up when sun came out

Now that's a big one. You got space for all those buds? :p
You can pack a load of mulch onto the soil to keep it from freezing and thawing repeatedly. A tarp around the bed also adds some insulation. Keeps the soil temp more stable and the roots less stressed.
I'd also give it another week. Just keep an eye on rot and mildew. When it hits, it hits so especially these last few days when she's nearing her end she gets very susceptible to practically everything.
Inside that's manageble. Outside not so much.

I myself would pull it. I've had lotta plants go drastically down hill when the cold weather comes. It looks close enough to me

by those tric pics that plant is ready,
the illuminated image of those trichomes from your magnification tool are showing a mirrored image,..

you also can see how the cold and frost has damaged/broken some of trichomes and looks like some are underdeveloped most likely from the cold as your plant has a healthy colour to it,..

also you should use no illumination when your looking at the tric’s yourself,. jewellers loupes gives your a real image,. triplett glass loupes are the best,.
