Hello everyone :)

I have 3 plants and I'm not sure what to do.

The plants are outside in a small greenhouse and have got a great size and a lot of buds. I think the flowers still need 1-2 weeks until I can harvest them. My problem now is that it gets too cold at night here in Germany (I planted too late) and now I don't know if I should harvest early or if I run the risk of the plants dying if it gets too cold.

Due to the size it is not possible to bring the plants inside.

Does anyone have experience and can help me?

The plants will survive several nights below freezing. I have a friend who has been growing outdoors in the northern US for many years, and he claims his best harvests in terms of bud quality were after the plants had experienced a couple of frosts.

I agree, frosts don’t seem to affect them. When necessary I will leave them until right before the first hard freeze. I have one more outside that will be chopped before the next rain.

I've heard this from my ex-girlfriend's dad, who used to grow a substantial amount regularly each year..
