Hey all, I've been reading around the forum learning some things. This is my first post and my first gow. I got some clones from a medical grower. 2 Different strains. I chose to go outdoor, all organic for my first time. Plants have been looking great up to this point. They were planted late in the season so they aren't huge. But they are supposed to be auto flowering 10 week finisher.

So its week 9 (I think) and we got frost here in Canada.. twice actually, two days in a row. So the frost was 5 days ago, and this is the first I've seen the plants 8 days. I'm not sure If they are just finishing flowering. Or if the frost hit them hard? They are really yellow. Like there is no green left on them.

I've been reading a little bit about how to tell when plants finish, I need to get a magnifying glass and take a closer look. But its my first grow and I guess I can't tell good from bad let alone cloudy from clear trichs. But can you guys tell me if they are hurting? Or if they are just finishing.

They actually look better in these pics than they did in person. Which is funny cause its an old blackberry taking pictures at night.

I am in Canada too and we got frost same time as you...plants were fine, actually today was real nice out and they are back to normal....
One thing I do notice is more red hairs than before. I think the frost is kinda a sign to the plants tellin em that harvest is comin up soon so thicken up and get real juicy!

They could be better, but they might survive if you cover them up at night. if you cant then i would harvest now

As for yellowing, its normal because the buds taking all the energy from the plant (including leaves) which cause them to yellow and die.
All looks good to me bro a week or two and plants shuld b done

go pick up a some thermal plant blankets from your local nursery and cover them at night because its only going to get colder. the blankets are cheap and they work wonders. you can also use some mulch and spread a few thick inches on your top soil or top of the buckets. this will generate heat and keep your roots from getting to cold in the ground.
