My big girl ( a real bush 6'' 4 tall and 7'' wide ) went thru 32.3 and 32.5 three weeks ago and is still going strong . I have heard from this site as well as others that our plants can take a pretty good hit in the temp department 27 - 28 degrees as long as it doesnt stay at that temp for long . I believe a killing frost is below 32 degrees for more than 3.5 hours but that is just what I have heard from old Italian gardners

ah, me and my dad used to wait for the frost to come before harvesting. if u hit it right. the plant will turn purple.

i guess freezing then curing makes it do that

Alright thanks on the info. I actually got another question i have some lights in mybackyard not real bright, but the cone of the monster is kinda over the fence and might get a lilttle of that light. So i took a garbage bag and made a hood for it. I put the hood on at 7 take it off at 7 will this help? The cone is still white in hairs where the rest of the plant is a little further along putting out a lot of red hairs.

Frost

In my experience cool frosty nites and sunny days make big buds. It only becomes a problem when daytime temperatures stay cool, then growth stops.

I tarped the plant during a frost on a couple nights, covered the top and the sides to the ground. there was slight purple forming on the top two coloas but its perfectly fine. But mine arn't 8 ft lol. good luck
