It's my understanding that growth will slow to a crawl at those temperatures. With the rain as well I would say chop them, they may not be quite finished but better an under-done bud than a mouldy one.

check it. I read The Cornbread Mafia and in the late 80's Jhonny Boone had a russian stain that froze encrusted in ice and the ice melted plants still alive. stressed them and produced more thc. this was in minnasota.

cold temps turn plants purple.
cover them up so dew cant form on the plants uncover in the morning.

They'll survive the temp ok, and mine like the occasional cold night, but last week I had 7 days straight of 40 degree nights, and FX is right, it DID slow the growth to almost nothing.

Thanks all!!!!

i figured they were close enough that i might as well chop. alberta sucks. had a bid of rot on my biggest. I figured alaskan thunderfuck wwould be a good strain for my area.

plants look great il post pics in a bit,

had one hit just under 7.5 ft
