I see the nets at the bottom of your plants, now that is what I call a scrog grow! (lol)
Truly beautiful plants. They should be able to handle a frost or 2, but you want to avoid a hard freeze for sure.
 
Those are about the size of mine aintdedyet look the same age. We don't get frost here till heck maybe Dec. but I still wouldn't want any frost to touch those beauties. I sure would drape that gazebo frame to protect them. We are fighting mold here in So. Oregon really bad for some. I would be so bummed if they got frost bite.
 
I'm with GreenState, I've had light frost on my plants a bunch of times, over the years, never had any problems, you just don't want a hard freeze,
Beautiful plants, my friend. Great job.
And keep up the fight!!

poor man's kief press:

required: kief (recovered from my grinder), garlic press, parchment paper, scissors, oven, oven mitts, understanding wife (if applicable) ...

method:
  • using paper, create cavity in press, making sure to cover the holes and create a cup. You may have to experiment with cup capacity; try and make sure the paper lines the inner wall of the press to facilitate subsequent removal. Prepare a "lid" ahead of time as well, which will cover the kief and form a sandwich.
  • pre-heat the press with pre-formed cavity in place. You may want to experiment with time/temp. I was using a 350F oven to cook dirt so I just used that temp. for a minute or so, then removed it to the stove top for the next step (use oven mitts for sure)
  • place kief in the cavity, affix the "lid", close the press and squeeze as hard as you can (again, the mitts ...)
  • remove from press ... hash readily removed from parchment paper and manually formed into final shape
Photo shows bits ranging from 0.85 to 1.50 g. I didn't experiment with repeat heating/pressing cycles. The product was already pretty hard and crumbly compared to what I'm used to, but turned out to be a potent smoke which burns well. The kief was from a variety of strains, collected over time.

Thanks for taking a gander ... any input on opportunities for improving this poor man's kief press greatly appreciated!

stay safe folks!
