They can take a snow but the quality goes down quickly.

I had 43 the other night no problem gives em more color and flavor. They can take 32 if no frost but it's best to cover when it gets that chilly.

This clears a few things up for me too cuz my girls are defo not ready to chop, and its gettin colder, Ive been keeping an eye on forecast for temps but worried ill have to chop em early! But I wanna leave em out as long as poss obviously... so your saying I can pretty much leave em out til the day before the night of the first frost ;) cuz last night was 4°C

How a plant is effected by low temperatures is somewhat specific to the strain. Most cannabis is tolerant of even a light frost. We've seen high 30s recently and plants and pistils are unaffected, so far. I keep plants out until they are finished even if I have to go out at night to cover them from frost and uncover each morning for a while. The do seem to hurry along after that first frost.

hopefully the frost doesnt come too soon.. im on crutches and its about a 10min cycle to the site so covering at night and uncovering could be a problem

Kelp extract and silica helps the plants tolerate lower temps and protects them to some degree from frost.

They will grow in colder weather than you think, when they are in the Veg, and Flowering stage. It has gotten as low as 34 where I'm at, and with just a cover at night, they do fine. Good luck, and happy growing.

It got down to 34 degrees last night, plants were cover, still looks good around noon today. High now is 55. Another night of 34 low's tonight. Lots of north wind, but cover works well, and plants seem to steal be growing and doing well. I don't believe I will have a problem as long as I can keep the Cu-stop-0 out of my yard. Good luck, and happy growing. Thank I'll will go plant some mines.
