:oim in so cal desert so it stays pretty good till end of november but 2 nights ago we had a cold night and it hit 32 degrees. some of the larger fan leaves have curled up. will my plants be alright cause they still have a little while to go.
 
thats not too bad. i think you could handle 1 or 2 frosts before you have to harvest. nice lookin plant otherwise man
 
I need help as well i have 1 plant left i live in west europe so the winter gets frosty,my plant have just hit flowering what should i do?? would it survive the next few weeks?

no hijacking here buddy, go start your own thread. and no your plant is going die.
 
your plants should be fine, they just curled up because it was cold most the leaves should go back to normal, atleast thats wat i learned in my horticulture lol but you should check wat leaves looked like they could have died from the cold and cut them off
 
yeah i would trim off the dying fan leafs. then keep a close eye on the forecast. looks like you are a couple weeks away from harvest so if it comes down to it, i would cut the plant down if it's almost ready but is going to face a cold night if left outdooors. best of luck and take it easy.
 
hers a few more pics to give you guys a better view. also theres november's weather in my area.

just build a little cover out of plastic sheeting, pvc. use 1/2". you wont even have to glue it. just make a box and cover it with the plastic.

the frost will never get to the plant.
 
Can you guys build a temp green house with a clear tarp and 2 x4's???

Maybe some PVC pipes and elbows?

That's what I would be looking at if you have access
 
You can buy heating wire than you bury into the first few inches of soil around the base of the plant - if you keep the roots warm they are FAR more resistant to cold like that. The wire hovers around ~$20 at the garden stores near me.

You can also get plastic frost covers for your plants if you think it's gonna frost or rain.

Lastly - I've had lots of cold problems you'll be alright.
