Cold temps effect

HillsideManor
HillsideManorstarted grow question 4 years ago
Just wondering how cold is tooooo cold? My inside tent sometimes gets as low as 12c with the lights on, and outside (have other plants out there) it's even colder (4c), so like, can the plants cope with such low temps on a consistent basis?

Hey there hillside. The metabolism of the plant is regulated by VPD which is the relationship between temperature and humidity . That means that if this ratio is way off the metabolism of the plant will come to a screeching halt. That’s sometimes okay for plants of a certain age, especially if it doesn’t last much longer than a day or two. At a young age plants will deal with it much worse. Any freezing temperatures will kill off a seedling pretty quickly, cold temperature will slow it down , potentially stunting its long term growth also. There’s a bunch that you can do , for example indoors just add a space heater , outdoors you can add insulation to the ground or the pots using cloth , like wrap a few sheets or t shirts around it , maybe use a plastic cover on the ground to raise the temperature locally. Either that or build a green house. Unfortunately you can expect this not to be a pretty serious problem if it’s long term. Hope this helps ! 🚀
