How much longer?

Hey man looks good, by mid October (ish) they should be done. The light is fading and by than there will be almost only 10hrs light which will make them ripen in a haste. People seem to confuse outdoor flowering and indoor flowering. Outdoor isn't 12/12 for long, it's a constant decline of sunlight/increase of night time, thus causing plants to mature much faster than when on constant 12/12. So anyway mid October, and I'd pull!

I'm tempted to pull them Friday due to another frost. They got hit 2-3 weeks ago with some chilly temps, but recovered after 2 weeks of 75-85 degree days.
Since that first frost, many leaves fell off. Now we're going to get hit with 2 more days of frost, than 40-60 degree days after that...

Will they still push nuts to the buds and not have any problems? How long do I want to wait if it's going to be this cold?

pull it now and you wont have anything worth smoking. cover it and it will probably survive the frost

Yeah I wouldn't pull just yet 40 or 50 degrees isn't that bad at all. Once you get below 30F for more than a night I would pull them. I am in Northern Canada and still haven't pulled anything yet, I'm at 46N. We had a night of -6celcius, where everything completly froze and I mean bad, like skating rink style. My girlfriends flower pots in her yard were all frozen solid (soil and roots), but amazingly the green is still thriving, so anyway you don't need to worry about anything above 30F. Mold may be a prob if it's always damp though.

Sweet, I'll take some more pics Friday and upload them.
