HELP!! Might have to cut early because of frost. What are your thoughts and suggestions? PICS

First time grower here. I have 6 SPECIAL KUSH #1 plants from Royal queen seeds. They’re about 6 weeks into flower. Outside light is 12\12 and temps during the day are between 55-70, nights are about 40 degrees and dropping. Already had one frost advisory as I’m growing in the NY region. Some plants are turning purple due to the cold and they look amazing. Just don’t want to stress the plant too much and kill it. Just wondering about how much longer I can go. Next week is going to be in the 50-60’s and at night 30-40’s. Thinking about harvesting this Sunday. Any thoughts?

If you don't kill the plant you can't harvest it
You look like you won't have time to finish so go as long as you dare

I'd keep going.

Cover them at night, some stakes & tarps should do the job

Bring them inside at night and put em back out again. Deep cold like 10* can kill them but 25* and up is fine .

Check out the frost thread. Hard frosts will kill it, but as long as your day temps are good, they can take a frost or two.

edit: second what @Joedank suggests

Thanks everybody!! I’m going to bring them in at night and back out during the day.

Keep them away from your indoor plants, you don't want to bring outdoor pests indoors.

Bring in at night and back out in morning if the mornings are very cold buy a few heat packs like pocket hand warmers cheap as chips and keeps her toes warm

if you cant bring them inside over night you could insulate the buckets and buy a tent and put it in that, and maybe put a heater or something in there overnight

the soil will hold the temperature overnight especially if you water it before night time so the thermal mass is larger in the insulated pots. the foliage is another story, but if they're in a tent or some sort of temporary enclosure with a fan you can get through some frosts outdoors
