Frost Scares Me..HELP

Hey guys...so all my ladies are outside and where I am it's getting COLD. Lower fourties at night and just last night it dipped into the thirties...I set my alarm for 3AM to go check outside and frost is right around the corner. My babies need a few more weeks, they aren't quite done...How afraid of frost should I be? Will they die if it frosts one night? How does it impact the buds themselves, will they disintigrate? Is a light frost Okay? I am planning on getting some material to cover them with at night, any suggestions?

Couple side notes... One of them has kinda halted it's budding. Decent size nugs throughout, HEAVY trichs/ The leaves are all yellow ( or almost ) but it's just kinda stopped. I was thinking of hitting it, and all of them for that matter, with molasses as I have read that could jolt them?

Also, one of them is a hermie. Is there anything I can do except go out every day and scour the buds for pollen sacks and pluck them off? I am keeping it alive, and it's flowering like a champ, but just curious as to how the pollen sacks effect the bud, is it okay to smoke, or vaporize ? Thanks all, happy growin.

they good we had our 1st frost last nite too

Okay, what do you think of these two ladies? One is purplish red hairs and then the other one was the one I was saying slowed way down...both of which are too immature, I am afraid they won't make it

i like the purple pistils!! looks nice... you could cover them at night of build a littletent for them if possible... you can use some sort of thick plastic or something of that sort... should keep the bite of the cold off on nights that dip into the high 30's... if it goes below freezing alot you might have some troubles though.... if you were to build a wooden framed tent you could run a cord and keep a little space heater out there just to give some extra warmth... just be careful with it. also it would give off some light so you would ahve to figure out how to stop it from getting to your plants. might be silly ideas as ive never had to do this...

the purple one may be sativa dominant and that may be why its taking longer to flower than the other... what strains are they?

Where are you NE if so there never gonna finish....I'm worried about mine finishing i'm like 9-10 weeks into flowering check my shit out....hope i didn't scare ya....haha

im afraid i have the same problem mine has not gone as well as i would have hoped

I think everyone North and East of Virgina are in the same boat now....Gotta hurry up and wait and keep the weather channel on 24/7

me too. i have a nice indoor thing going, but i decided to try a sativa outside, and now i am probly never gonna make it

Daf what strain you growing? I'd say you have 3 weeks left.

Sour diesel is an early bloomer. Just for future ref.

Yeah but that needs time....alot o time....

IDK what strain they are, just some bag seeds I have kept from some nice keify buds... 3 weeks? Damn it's definitely gonna frost by then. I mean I don't mind covering them but that will only go so far...These two plants are different seeds from the previous two, strain also unknown...
What about these other ladies still think 3 weeks for them too? the pistils have started to retract and shrivel up but the trichs are still mostly clear/some milky.. Can't believe all this work and it may be a bust :\
NewEngland bud never finishes??? Can't be true

Me Being Paranoid: Will covering plants at night emit some sort of heat signature? I imagine that the covered areas will remain warmer then the surroundings....Do my ladies emit different heat then other flowers / vegetables that are still alive?

Also, since they are behind schedule...is it a bad idea to not flush and instead keep on feeding them? It's all organic tiger bloom w/ molasses so I am not too worried about the chems. What do you guys think
?

check out wunderground.com it gives you alot more detailed info to the local level.

Yeah wunderground seems to be fairly accurate. Had a couple frosts last week but it looks fairly mild for the next 5-7 days. Let's keep our fingers crossed. Any arguments against holding off on flushing since they will be hard pressed to finish as it is?

Anyone else beating the frost?

these plants come from the Himalayas , they can take a few light frosts......dont worry to much

very nicely done daf. great looking grow !!
