Re: CULT: Help! What Can I do for buds in Freezing Weather?

I have on occasion used both sheets, boxes, garbage cans and anything else that might work (but never socks).
What you are trying to do is trap the warmth from the ground around the plant. An important issue is that you can't let something like a sheet rest on the top of the plant. /anything that touches the cover is likely to "tip freeze" through the fabric.

I have numerous bud stalks-will covering them with a sheet or some sort
of covering help protect them? Will covering with an old sock help,
possibly?



Any ideas??
