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.
 
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.
 
They are still out side still trying to fatten them up ,they both have amber just haven't swelled enough for me but I think they will have to go next week
 
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...
Lookin great OJH!( you to Staramus!)
 
I agree with every one its time but Im stubborn and how cool would it be to see a picture of some fine bud with snow around it lol, No really if they dont either harden up or fill out in the next week there all done

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
 
Good deal, You might have to plant earlier next year.
We don't have wild weather down South, like y'all do up there.
We've harvested in January an February down this way, plenty of times before.
Anyway, good luck with huntin season.
 
these were runts from the last cloning I did and they didnt go in until the end of June ,I will end up with 10 ounces from the 2 plants not bad for runts lol
 
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,
