Chop or wait and see?

Trying to decide to chop today or not. Most of these are sativa and need another 2 weeks. Some are indica and could use couple more days to a week. Seeds went in Sept. first. 2 weeks ago they got hit with 25 degrees in dry conditions no frost but no frost cover. next night 30 degrees and frost but had frost cover pictured. Yesterday plants were hit with 20- 30mph. winds all day then .1 inch rain at 40 degrees. Late today should be sunny and about 55F. Tonight forecast low 25 with heavy frost. Trying to decide to chop or frost cover again and wait to see. Thinking about double frost cover? This week and next forecast mid 60s to mid 70s.

I'm thinking about maybe your buds are still wet from yesterday's rain? If so, will a frost cover keep the remaining bud water from freezing? Were they mine, and I couldn't guarantee frozen buds, I'd have to take them.

Otherwise, I'd have to take the one you're showing. I would be embarrassed to show such a sloppy plant. Big, porny colas like those deserve training. You can't win Miss America with bad posture.

Still raining sprinkling here now. Should clear up and be sunny and in the mid 50s by about 3pm. Hope they will be dry before dark. If not dry I will probably chop. As for training. This is a lazy ass fall experiment with a bunch of freebie seeds from years past. There are 20 plants in the picture. Did not know what to expect and am burnt out from a very tough but successful grow season. Thank you for your thoughts.

Also 20 to 30 mph. winds for 6 hours yesterday might help make them look a bit rangey

Man those are huge i can see why they took so long darn sativa. If those are cloudy i'd take it. I'm so glad it's over here with outdoor what a summer heck what a friggin year.

I am glad I waited to chop. Frost covered 2 nights one night 25 and heavy frost next night 30 and light frost. 70s and 80s till next week. I think they need about 2 more weeks
