Bud shot - Are they ready?

I'm really worried about my girl as we had quite a harsh frost last night, and it seems as though the forecast for the UK is set to continue as it has begun.

I took these pictures today to ask the question 'Is it to early to pull the plant?'

To be quite honest, I don't think we will be seeing any more sunshine in the coming week, or anytime soon for that matter.

Any advice/info welcome.

you really need to get a scope to tell for sure

What do you mean by a scope?

needs 4 more weeks, at least.

Ok, so we will be looking at around the 1st of November right?

The only thing worrying me is these clear frosty nights, my car was covered in ice this morning.

If say the frost got that bad that the plant started to suffer, would it be possible to pull her there & then without compromising the smoke?

Cheers

Oh yeah, what if we continue to have these overcast days with no sun?

is there any way you can cover them at night?

Well the other day I acquired some of those outdoor seedling greenhouse things (the metal frame/plastic sheet kind). I suppose if I remove the shelves I could put that over it.

I was always worried about covering it in case it started sweeting, which would lead to bud rot (did have an ever so slight bit where some residual water was sitting on a bud).

The only problem with covering it is the fact my neighbor would be curious as to why I would be covering a plant at this time of year, and he is a right shit, he hates me with a passion.

With a microscope this is what you are looking for.

Cheers Mowbuss.... Very handy guide.

Just need a scope now

Where can I find a scope since you guys were just on that topic?

maplins sell them for under £10, they have a light inside, buy two as they get very sticky after a while. order on line, mine came the next day

you have to touch the plant leaf with the scope. look at the frosty looking leaves
