Will the cold kill my sativas?

I am a usually a strictly indoor sort of guy, but this grow I ended up with 4 hermies (I sprouted 25 seeds, 4 turned out to be hermie and the rest all female, I don't really know how I got this kind of ratio because they were not feminized seeds to my knowledge) They seem to be pretty sativaish plants (thin leaves, 2x+ streach during first 3 weeks of flower)I took the 4 outside. I live in north west ohio and it gets kind of cold at night. I looked at averages and it usually doesn't frost untill the first week of november. The indoor plants I would say have around 5 weeks to go. So my question if it does frost should I just pull the outdoor plants then? or should I wait. I don't have any experience outdoors and I just don't know if they can handle frost or not.

Well cold is bad in my opinion I mean you would not put a plant out in the winter when the sun is out?

In my opinion I would say bring it indoors.

Also for the ratio it is more of a matter of luck.

I am in Wisconsin- dealing with the same issue. I had a total of 10 girls, 2 flowered extremly early and I just yanked them today, ((BEAUTIFUL)) but am worried about the other 8, it is suppost to get down to 35 degrees, I dought I am going to be able to transplant a almost 10 foot tall plant indoors!? This was BY FAR my best year... I started out with 21, I got parinoid and pulled 11 too early thinking they were all males, my guess only about 4-5 were? I guess it better to be safe then sorry?

See I have never got ratio's like that before, in fact earlier this summer I sprouted 8 and only got one female. You don't really have to pull that early, it is usually pretty clear after about 1 1/2 weeks, too early for the plants to produce viable pollen.I have been able to see the difference as early as 5 days after the lights change. Well it looks like I have a little time left. Its not supposed to freeze for a couple of weeks and it might warm up after the first one so *fingers crossed*. I still have 20 going strong indoors ....I was wondering if anyone knows how much less a typical sativa will yeild than your typical indica. I understand this is a really hard question to ask not knowning the strain. I grow under a 1000w hps on a 4x4 ebb and flow table. The plants are maybe 3 ft tall. I would really like to get an ounce off each plant, but I don't know if this is realistic
