What’s up everyone,
I come here asking for tips and any advice on keeping a flowering plant alive in cold temperatures. My girl (afghani landrace) is looking so so nice right now, and probably has another month before harvest. The buds were just starting to stack and trichs just starting to glisten.
Unfortunately, a freak snow storm is rolling in in a couple of days. Temps are calling for upper 20s for a night, and then mid 30s for two nights. The day time temps will be in the mid 30s, to mid 40s until the storm passes. There is also a chance of some snow. It’s been very hot lately (90 degrees), and will warm up to the 70s by the end of the week.
It’s far too early to harvest, and I’m guessing the weather will be nice until around mid October, which is typical for where I live.
I am planning on covering the plant (which is inside a cage), with a fabric frost guard and an insulated curtain. Is there anything else you think would help? I am hoping because it will be wet and it’s been very warm, that should keep things from freezing. I would be super bummed if I lost this harvest though.
Additional information — the plant is in a 30 gallon smart pot and is about 3 feet by 4 or 5 feet. It is an afghani so I’m hoping it’s a little hardier. I’ve attached a few pictures for context with regards to covering it at night (and most likely during the day). Let me know if you have any advice!
Cheers
