    Morning oldjarhead100, that frost is only gonna make it better.imo
    Frosts don't bother use down South here, unless, it lasts forever.
    Lots of time in our woods, MJ an Honeysuckle are the only plants that's still got a little green on them, come harvest time.
    I think they like a little frost, to be honest, at least in my neck of the woods, good luck with yours.

      If your trichomes are cloudy, I would harvest her now. You lucked out once, don't push it.

        Very Nice there bud. I also raise angel trumpets and after the first frost the bloom like crazy. I guess it's a survival technique.

                Only getting better Ojh, It takes a hard, hard frost to kill MJ, that little frost on yours didn't hurt them any.
                Now if the temps stay below freezing all day long, it will kill them, but a little frost, don't hurt them at all, makes for smooth smoke.
                Are you still seeing a bunch of deer, in your woods ?

              Had some Arctic air move into my locale mid October so moved my potted plants into my barn. Even with some heating had some leaves turning purple. OJH I don't believe you have enough time left to fatten those girls up to where you like them.

              I've got one of those Mr. Heaters for my Green house, that just threads to a BBQ sized propane tank. I'm sure it would work fine in there, if you have the ends covered, and maybe a just little spot open, to let some ventilation happen. Probably turn it way down for something that size, think they sell for like $30.
              That bowl I made this summer, I realized that I should have left the walls MUCH thicker, since it dried out to thin, and cracked. Least I learned something...

              Better batton down the hatches (if youhave any hatches) with that Nor'easter headed your way. Looks like only rain depending on how far north you are.

                  oldjarhead100, what are the temps like, day and night ?
                  You might not have time for them to get how you like it ,but unless it stays below freezing, day an night, I wouldn't worry at all,
                  Same with vegetables, frost makes collard an mustard greens, lots sweeter, ask any old Southern Lady, that cooks or ask Redwasp, he knows,

                @DAAS yes I know a frost is good for the plants if they don't get burned .Unfortunately the last two days it was cold and rainy I had a fan on them but it was just to cold the leaves have started dropping saying its all done so down they come this morning

                  I wouldn't call them runts, that's more than you been getting ain't it, anyway 5ozs a plant from autos is great.
                  I hope it grew long enough so it's smokeable, lol, sure don't want heart palpatations,

                  They were photos and yes it was a better yield than any other plant from the outside grow, weve been think about our outside grow and weve decided we need a few new spots ,with out acidic soil around the good dirt we lug in and better water , we had one great spot by a brook but someone cut a path almost to one of our plants then cut down towards the brook so we are bailing out of there but the other two spots have alot of pine and spruce around, but the two girls in back yard way out did the other plants so even though we got an average yield it was definitely sub par

                Oh yes there are lots of things we grow year round here. The flavor just gets better with the cold temps. It's been years since it got so cold here that it killed off everything. Last winter I even left out a few tropical plants all winter and they made it through just fine. But we have been having warm winters for years now. Not sure we had more than 2 days last year that never got above 32.

                  sometimes the Brussels sprouts make it to Thanksgiving but everything else curls up and hides for the winter lol

                Man I miss that growing climate. Growing up on the Mississippi coast, I had bananas, citrus, and pretty much anything I wanted. I did have to keep some things in a greenhouse to make it through the winter without frost bite, but sure it has warmed up down there to, since then. Had a 20x100' greenhouse to play with, no pot, but everything else, sure was fun!!
                Enjoy that warmth budy! It's turning into actual winter in Co right now, snow for the next week.
                Miss my night blooming Jasmine, to, only other plant that is on the same level for intoxicating good smell as our lady the cannabis plant.
