Yes!!! It can ruin them, depending on the strain and how cold it's gonna get. Get them inside if you can or tent them. I'm harvesting my girls that are in the ground and moving the others in.

Tent? like a plastic bag overnight?? there (news) saying its going to be nice the rest of the week, I've been flushing now for over 10 days and have been holding out on harvesting for the trichs, there mostly cloudy with a little amber right now, hoping that the next couple days would help! would a couple of extra days help anyway, or not?:stoned:

Your very close, one night shouldn't do a lot of harm it unless it freezes, which it shouldn't, but of you can put a big (king size) sheet over them (prop it up with a pole in the middle for support so it looks like a tee pee and it's not crushing your plants) you should be fine. Last year I got screwed from the frost.

If your plants are sturdy enough put a sheet over them at night to prevent frost.

Depends on what you want. I usually don't do the 50/50 that so many recommend. I tend to chop about when you are describing. Don't like the couch-lock myself. I do have one strain I let go just pass 50/50 but that's from experience of the strain & the needs of the patient. A day or two might make a small difference. But running the risk of losing the crop for me is too large. Have too many people counting on me to provide something even if maybe the trichs are perfect. Get some sheeting (plastic/cloth - just something) and wrap those girls up or bring them in overnight.

Sorry about the late reply but for some reason my work doesn't allow access to MJ sites - go figure!

Anyway hopefully you used the sheeting. It should of helped.
