Temperature Fluctuations effects on auto seedlings

I just watered some auto seeds outdoors (on-site of my guriella project) temps have been 80 degrees (f) duuing the day and mid 50's at night, and that will continue for a couple more days. After that, we are expecting a cold front. Temps will be low 60's daytime and mid 40's at night. My seeds are in peat cups, in starter soil, inside a plastic terrarium with the vents on top fully open. Does anyone know what effect those temps will have on my autos? Should I try to bring them in before the cold front? That would be a huge pain. The strains I am working with are Afghan Kush Ryder, Auto Sweet Tooth, Think Different and Critical Kush. Any wisdom on this will be appreciated.

if they're in ur backyard (or somewhere close enough) you can put cut-off plastic containers over them acting as mini-greenhoues at night and remove during the day to protect the tender little leaves. there are probably tons of ideas people could come up with to battle the chill at night. But im not sure if autos will stress over this fluctuation of temps..jsut saying thats what I would do if I had to.

Heya!

This will slow down their growth-speed and prolong the total flowertime a bit. How much is hard to tell, and probably straindependent to.
Im on a phone, so I cant check the genetics of the strains you mentioned. its llikely that strains with alot of sativa will be more stunted...

Alså, if they are old enough tje cold might bring forth some colours of the plants that you usually dont see in them.

Does your weather allow some extra flowertime?
If not; i'd take them inside.

And.... If they are in late flower you should keep a keen eye for mold because of the higher RH them lower temps usually bring...

Best of luck!
