Will they die

I started an indoor grow awhile ago but I'm moving and I couldn't bring them with me. so I started some bagseed, after awhile they got rootbound then but were still doing okay, then last week when I was moving the last of my stuff, I had to get the plant out of the house. I put them in a box and put them in the garage, I came back yesterday and was going to throw them out so nobody ever found em. they actually grew some! so I planted them outside, since I couldn't have them inside anywhere. I live in the toledo, ohio area, will they die?

it probably won't drop much lower than 30, cold enough to put a layer of ice on all the puddles in the morning. but I didn't spend any money at all on these plants so far, I'm not gonna start now. next money I have is going towards a DWC grow

could they withstand like a week of cold nights cause it's steadily warming up little by little. I hope to god they make it!

Most probably not.How about placing a plastic bag around them at night.That might keep them alive for a little while longer,but remove the bag in the morning.

Well it all depends.What is your outside temp at 8am compared to 11am?????I dont know exactly where toledo is in the state of ohio,but if your farther south in the state you might be able to get away w/it.I live in jersey & right now at noon my temp is is 47 degrees at 8 it was 34f thats too cold to unwrap them,but @ 47f it stil might be a bit too cool.they might survive until warmer weather comes,but expect no growth as the likely hood & also put up some type of fencing around them,cause if the weather doesnt kill them the critters will...........You may want to condsider building some type of compact "hot house" around them if possible,.....I understand your situation w/ having to move & your plants have to suffer along w/you.This happened to me 11 years ago.but it was in april & not march.Since they the were "BOG"seed i didnt know the sex and didnt want to spend any money on them.What i did was to plant them fairly to close to one another and took some pallets and constructed a DIY makeshift hot house,now it was'nt completly air tight but was enough to do the job.Hope this helps Mr MJ.

OK Mr. Maryjane,you will need to take some drastic measures to ensure that your plants will survive.Dont concern yourself w/trying to make them grow,just let them live:clap:.You have no other choice,but to build some type of hothouse for them or the wiil die..You could even get 3 5 foot sticks and rig yourself a little teepee hot house.Use your imagination.Keep me posted.Kind of curious on how well you suceed.Luke

It especially sucks because it's finally warming up some. I was gonna cry, but then I remembered I've been saving seeds to plant in the feilds out here.
