How low can the temperature get while finishing flower / are there signs to watch for that would make you harvest early? For reference it is getting down to 5c (40f) at night where I am, and I would like need 2-4 more weeks to finish her properly.

Low temperatures are most times not the Problemns.. if temps are falling for a Night to Zero or under zero , Its no big Problem for the Plant Look for aPLace where shes Protectet to cold wind The only enemy is daylong continuatuing Rain in late flower------Or very Humid, cold days without wind or sun inbetween. Protect your Girl of direct rain onto the flowers.... that is crucial in growing outdoors Autumn has come, and iam in the same boat like you, I have a few big Plants , to get ready My earliest ones will be done in 10-12 days, the latest one in around 4 weeks but not before mid october A Part of the Plants got a rooF .. and those have the best conditions and i dont have fear for them the other ones whoare nearly done, dont have aroof, but I visit them every day Shaking the Rain out ofthe Branches Atm we had second day with some hours of rain, but always wind and sun inbetween. So everything is fine Thats just what I can tell you, Hemp is resiliant. Choose for Outdoor Early flowering, or so called "express" Genetics.... it helps tremendous if you can finish them later September or first Week October Later bloomers need aroof , and all need daily visits with checking buds for MOld If you detect,,, be ready to harvest very fast, because Mold dont stopps in cutting away small pieces,,,, Thats my experience

Hey Growmie, Since your growing outdoor it's going to be impossible to control how low it can get but temps lower than 60°F (15°C) tend to upset plant growth, and freezing temperatures will shock or even kill a cannabis plant. Some plants continue growing in the cold without signs of stress, but they often don’t yield as well as they should be given the amount of light they receive, and you don't want to harvest early either, you got to remember if you harvest too early, you will have premature buds which leads to a poor product and a smaller yield. The telltale sign of harvest-ready weed is when the hairs of the plant, or pistils, have fully darkened and curled in. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.
