i am studying a bit on orange trees and cultivation and came across this and thought it could get your minds moving. maybe its common knowledge, remember im an indoor gardener.
Oranges are sensitive to frost, and a common treatment to prevent frost damage when sub-freezing temperatures are expected is to spray the trees with water, since as long as unfrozen water is turning to ice on the trees' branches, the ice that has formed stays just at the freezing point, giving protection even if air temperatures have dropped far lower.[57]
Another strategy to prevent freezing of orange crops and trees is burning fuel oil in smudge pots (also known as a choofa or orchard heater). These burn with a great deal of particulate emission. Condensation of water vapor on particulate soot prevents condensation on plants and raises air temperature very slightly. Smudge pots were first developed after a disastrous freeze in Southern California in January 1913 wiped out a whole crop.[58]

Get rid of those yellow leaves. They start to turn yellow when the capillaries in the leaf stems shut down. They're not making any food for your plant & all they're doing is shading your buds.

Man it really looked like preflowers for like a month. I guess being sativa it took awhile to show its nuts. Here is a pic from awhile ago. Damn thing has been sitting next to my widow so I am going to have to chop it today (its in the ground). 
Could have been from light leaks. I have a light about 50 or so feet away that I have been contending with. Not real bright but still light.
Think I could hash any of it this early? Worth asking since it is coming down.

Its down. I hope it didn't pollinate the shit out of WW yet. Especially since they were under the frost blanket together. I don't think any of them opened up yet. Might get some from taking it down. I had to chop it in three spots to get it out from the heat wire.
Redoing everything now for the widow. I am going to keep the heat wire away from direct contact with the plant. It burns the leaves anywhere it touches. Should have some pictures when I am done. I need to hit a home run now that I am down to one.

New and improved shelter. I used tent posts and 1/2" blue pex pipe. Painted everything green. Put four smaller poles inside the main frame and wrapped the heat wire around. Wires are also staked around on the ground. I keep my timer and tarps in the blind.
Gotta try and come away with something...

Lower SE MI, with all this rain this week are any of you guys harvesting. I am contemplating on choppin asap or holding out another week, but 3 days this week have rain on the forecast. I saw a tiny patch of pm and snagged it outta there, but am concerned about all this additional rain. Any thoughts, thanks ladies and gents

The rain sucks but theres no frost in the forecast.
I havent had to deal with mold yet but it seems like it would be better to cut any mold and try to let the plants finish then harvest premature buds. I might let mine go another three weeks if they look like they need it.

Well I started with 7 and have had some bad luck. Literally. None of it was bag seed just a bunch of males and one died young. The only one to make it is the feminized Widow. I am in Northern MI where it has already been down to 28 degrees here (two weeks ago!). The heat wire was something I already had on hand. Just trying to make use of what I have. She started to flower late too. So for me it is all or nothing. I am in a very remote area with little to no people around me. Don't mean to sound bitchy or look neurotic just letting you know why I am going through all the trouble.

My plants hadnt been fed in two weeks because I didnt want to give them more water with all this rain. I said screw it and went out in the rain to feed them today.
The good news is they have packed on quite a bit of weight since just last week.
The bad news is I had to chop half a branch off my best plant because of a couple moldy rotten buds.
I took it home, cut out the bad stuff and trimmed it up. I salvaged about a quarters worth of nice sticky bud.
This rain has to stop though. I dont know how much more they can take
