R u growing in a greenhouse? Can u not just utilize a 110VAC wall heater to keep temps up? I've never been a fan of hum domes... Need more info...

If it's freezing, then it stands to reason that a simple dome will do nothing to protect them. Maybe for sat 5 minutes, but no, over a prolonged durationg it will most likely do nothing for them. Either get em inside (tray indicates they can be moved) or expect the worst.

GanjaGod: They can be moved, but I am not sure where. I am a teenager starting my first grow, so I am trying to keep the plants hidden, you know. I have 2 seedlings in a tray with a dome overtop, and I am just curious as to if they would survive overnight. No, I am not growing in a greenhouse and I do not have a way to keep them heated. I could move it to my shed, but that puts a risk to getting caught.

It's only 30-35 F, but the seedlings are still in an early stage. I don't know if I should even be this concerned, but I would rather not take my chances.

Dude, u need to find u a better spot, and I wouldnt recommend anything u r talking about... I remember trying to start seeds in my room when I was a kid, and that shit just doesn't cut it... U cant expect much from this... Unless u find a better place, and get ready to put em in larger pots, and treat em right, and do a lil research...

Do u not hve a place indoors where the temps r right, that u could just use a couple 23W CFLS (6500k), and keep em hidden from mom and dad? Dont ya know theyre gonna smell if u get em to survive long enough to flower... I dunno man... I just dont see it happennin with your constraints... I grew outdoors when I lived at home, and didn't worry about any stuff like this...

Bro, outside growing. Deep in the south woods, in the middle of BFE. I have reseached a lot, and I am pretty confident. I think I have this, I just need to get past this screwy weather first.

I am on a rather low budget, but I have some pretty good supplies so far. Pesticides (organic), rooting hormones, pH supplies, etc.

depends how big they are. they might last a night if they are really healthy. for those of you that disagree with that the last couple days ive watched it happen :)

these are in the ground though. i would take them indoors if they are new seedlings even if they dont get light. <<<< not for too long without light though. couple days at most
