First time trying outdoor growing, but woke up this morning to bad frost and i was wondering will this affect the plants. i have a low berry (auto flower my arse, thank you very much growXXX and nirvana head shop) and it is nearing harvesting but not yet ready, what will the frost do?? should i take it in doors to finish??Help some one please.:confused:

yeah your way to late this year man.!!. you should germinate your seeds at the end of feb and keep them inside or protected outside for a few weeks then let them do their thing till around sept/ oct..you want an indica dominant plant to grow well in our climate, u can grow sativa dominant to but dont expect much.

it might be a bit colder where you live eddie.. if you can try take them inside overnight.. or some clear plastic might help.. i have an outsider going as an experinent and i have been covering it every night.. hope this helps:thumbsup: i only noticed one day of frost last week but the weather is defo turning for the worse

Thanks GangaFermeoir (love the gaeilge). I panicked when i saw the frost this morning, i put a lot of effort into the low berry over the last few months and didn't want to see it ruined. Fourkicks i have the plant in one of those crappy greenhouses (lidl special, it was the greenhouse or a rubber dingy/arc welder/horse saddle on special offer that week, who buys their stuff, seriously, a welder who likes to horse ride out to sea to repair ships??) , it should be okay but i'm not holding out much hope for my Tundra (Dutch passion) plant. it's only started to flower in the last week, it was planted start of July and i thought it would have finished before now (might send complaint to them and see what happens, autoflower my pimply bottom).:hippy:

indica 1980 as gangafermeoir said start the seeds early, to plant outdoors. you should ask in one of the good head shops for advice for outdoor seeds, i only have experience of the leinster area, Most of Dublin head shops suck and just want to sell you something (cough Nirvana cough cough), but there is a very helpful staff in THC.
:thumbsup:good luck

Hey Fourkicks here are some pics, could the discoloured leaves be caused by frost or could it be a Molybdenum deficiency? what do you think?

Sorry for the horror show fourkicks, can you give me some links (i can't find the problems thingy). Crap now i look at it, it looks bad.
Bloody grow XXX/Nirvana, the plant is going 15 weeks and i was told it was an autoflower and would be 9 weeks seed to harvest. Bast*rds:mad:
