    If it hasn't already been mentioned, have an electric fan blow on them.  That should prevent any frost.  They did that at a nearby farm, where they actually hired helicopters to fly over the crops to stop them from freezing.

    I'm no expert, but someone's bound to chime in with the best answer to your dilemna.  I'd say if they're forecasting freezing temps, then you may want to bring those babies in, like you said, to allow them to ripen.

    I have no grow lights so I'm just gonna let them sit in complete dark, but I think I'm just going to cover them, it looks like temps are going to raise into the mid 60s this weeks with lows of 40 degrees

    If you can bring them home then I would but if it means uprooting them they would wilt, how long have they been flowering?

    6 weeks yesterday, but if I bring them in I'm harvesting them cuz it's 40 min walk. They are cover in trichs, should I just call it and bring em in and harvest Tuesday or Wednesday. It's my first grow so I'm happy to get any harvest

    If you cut them early all you time and effort could be wasted because you have to wait for the trichome heads to milky to amber to get any real high, realistically your looking on 8-10 weeks, check this chart for trichomes ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1412465347.642252.jpg

    yea that's why I'm going to put them in the dark to ripen me, but I think I'm going to cover the plant with a pillow case, and then put a bed sheet on it and then a coat over it.
    no mold dude

    I suffered mould bad man I'm paranoid of that shit now,
    Up to you really can you not let them finish by a window? Seeing as you can have them inside,

    Why not just cover them up? Use blankets, plastic, or whatever. Drape it over your plants, uncover them in the morning. Don't harvest early if you can help it! The trichs need to be turning amber.
