What to do for winter

[chefgod901]

As winter approaches, I’m not sure what to do to make these thrive. They’ve been out in my garden since this spring. I’ve been growing them using a variation of hugelkuktur like I’ve done for my raised bed veggie garden - soil, compost, water and feed using fox farm big bloom. I noticed the other day that one has turned purple... is this due to cold or genetics? What should I be doing for them to thrive and get my first harvest?

Pretty sure the "thrive" is done left the grow sorry to say. Those look pretty beaten up sorry to say again. I'd take them down get what you can off them. Cold will make some strains leaf change colors, even indoor when lights out and temps under 70f.

Chop them and try again next year

I am going to have to agree, watch the trics for them to be ready as you want and cut em. Bring them in for cold nights, or cover them.
I see PH issues, the soil looks like (green) compost.
The purpling can be genetics, cold issues or soil issues.

Aww bummer. Those look kinda rough. What everyone else said..,back to the drawing board with a different plan for next time.

I agree thriving has done left the game.
I sure hope they get to smoke some though, bein its their first harvest.

it ain't over til it's over... But in your case it is. Try again next time.
