The temps were a huge concern. I knew they would not survive the frost we had predicted. So, I called my friend from Idaho to come help me. We (he, me, and my sister's buddy) worked our butts off yesterday and got a structure put up over the plants. Good thing, too. It was 27 last night. Tonight is supposed to be 26, 28 on Sun night and then temps will be back above freezing for awhile. So, I am hoping that I can give them a bit more time. We generally have beautiful weather through October here, but we do get some nights with frost. The purples are starting to turn, so I will be starting on harvesting them soon. I will send my buddy from Idaho home with a big cola (we just always have to figure a way for him to safely smuggle it back into the dark ages--Idaho). The Satori just needs to put on some more bulk. I generally take those with mostly clear trichs, but the buds just don't have the bulk they should. Tcbud, you may want to take some of that Satori/Haze before cloudy and give it a try.
2RedEyes, thank you. I am quite happy with the purps. Since these were a cross of Mel's Buck-eye Purple (last year my neighbor had a male he didn't get out of his garden), I didn't know how much of the purple color might carry through. I am very pleasantly surprised that the cross is as purple as the original. Truly, anyone who wants purple bud, should try Buck-eye Purple. So purple they are almost black. I take bad pictures--that pic really does not do the plant justice. While I would never purposely stress my plants to get purple, the Satori does get a nice purple to it from the cold--sometimes unavoidable.
