Man the power went out in my grow shed last night, when i came in this morning the pots were lightweight frozen to the tray. Was wondering if anyone knew the chances of there survival and if there is anything I can do to help them bounce back. A few of um starting to droop on new growth.

Ouch,. Had same thing happen to me.
Followed by a dose of pm for good measure.

Give the plants a good water
And cross your fingers.
You'll see clearly in a day or 3 if they made it.

Good luck.

Thanks man. How did yours do? I was affraid to give um water right away cuz i thought that quick dethaw might do more harm then lettin pots thaw under the light, since they had just had water before. They were freshly transplanted so the rootball is in the center of the dirt so hopefully it didnt reach freezing temps on the roots...

*update*
I came n checked on um today. They still alive, but barely. Majority of the leaves turned brown n some got crispy. I cut off all the damage, most the new growth looks alright, but we will see if the leaf damage stops spreading or if it is from the roots. Im watering today with some og bioear root pack, small amount of canna start, and small amount of aspirin, hopefully they can bounce back...

When you find yourself in a frost situation always spray the plants with water and it will keep the plant tissue for freezing. Its has save my ass many times.

For me pm and cold temperatures go hand in hand. I had success controlling pm with a sulfur burner, but when temps drop it will return!

Good luck bud. Frozen roots are a bit different to an above ground frost, which some can survive. There is no native pot in the UK but Russia has nice colourful ruderalis. That is often bred in for colour and hardiness, but your chances are not great I'm afraid
