Yeah, as the others have said, that is not great for your plant. Freezing can damage cells and that with the water sitting inside the flower as it melts is a match made in heaven for budrot. Normally I'd try to wait for it to be ripe and rather lose a bit than harvest early, but this is one of the few times I'd rather chop asap.

Kurzen Frost kann Cannabis gut überstehen aber bei mehreren Nächten hintereinander wird es schwierig. Ich hatte bereits in diesem Herbst 2 Nächte mit bis zu -3° C. die Pflanzen haben es recht gut überstanden.

Hey there I would cut my losses and harvest right away… next time look out for weather changes. When the weather dips low for only a short period you can throw blankets over your plants for a night to fend off the frost.

I'd start the process of finishing off. If weather has turned then the frost will basically fuck it all up for you. If it was a one off early frost then you might be able to carry on, but I'd hedge my bets on it being time to finish off the grow.

That’s real frost not bud rot looks beautiful actually! One night of frost won’t kill her, but if temps keep dropping below 0 °C, moisture can stay trapped in the buds and then you risk bud rot. If the forecast shows more cold and humidity, I’d start the flush and harvest within a few days. Otherwise, you can let her go a bit longer just make sure she dries out fully every morning. Amazing colors by the way

Cannabis is not a frost tolerant plant. Frost is freezing its leaves and cell are exploding and rotting if its a hard frost. You need to get it protected the frost or it will rot out.

After frost in UK outdoors i was always finding budrot in 3-4 days. I personally would chop ASAP.
