will they make it through the night?

[Sprite]

My outdoor girls are at 7.5 weeks. It's getting cold at night, and tonight they are predicting upper 30's. Not freezing, but cold. Will they be okay in that cold? It warms up fast once the sun is up. It's been in the mid 70's during the day.
They are in pots which are buried in the ground. I also have an indoor space set at 12/12 right now. I could bring these in, I guess, but I'm worried about the potential of bringing outdoor pests in.
Whatcha think? What's the minimum temp they can survive outdoors? It's AK-47, if that matters.
Thanks!

High 30's are fine at night. Up this way we've been getting colder than that, and doing good. They can take a LIGHT frost and manage.
1 of the main rules is NEVER bring your outdoor plants inside,
I had 1 outdoor plant in a pot that I had to move, and when I tugged on it, I think the main tap root was affected, and though it didn't die, it was never quite the same.
You have to decide if your outside plants are worth infesting the inside ones.
Personally, I'd leave it.

yeah, i wouldn't bring plants from outdoors to the indoors. You are risking bringing in insects to your secluded indoor babies! Not worth it!

I don't think those temps will affect your plants. Especially if it is still sunny during the day. And you are 7 1/2 weeks into flowering so you only have a short time to go....just see it through outdoors! :jointsmile:

Sweet. I built myself a cold frame today, so that will buy me some time. When it gets to cold for that, I'll just harvest. No way I want to bring bugs inside.

As always, thanks for the help guys!
