Hemp is somewhat a frost tolerant plant. It is found that plant is not impacted when harvested after the first hard frost because ideally, it should be collected before. Mature and hardy hemp plants can easily survive a frost of 29 to 32°F except for the seedlings and semi-hardy plants that can’t tolerate frost.

Hemp can endure mild freezing temperatures down to minus 5 degrees Celsius for a brief period without damage to the developed seeds or yield growth. A killing freezing cold or say frost will speed up the maturity process and act just like a drying agent.

It can, depending on the maturity of the plant. If it is a fully mature plant, it can survive down to 29F. If it is a seedling or smaller plant, it will die. Lower than 29F and mature plants will become damaged and potentially die as well.
