Hemp seems to have an ice braking performance to all polluted materials in nature with its affirmative movements toward the green future! Hardy and mature hemp plants can easily tolerate a frost of 29-32°F; on the other hand, those temperatures would kill seedlings in the spring. A moderate freeze of 25-28°F can damage vegetation and is going to impact semi-hardy plants.

Certain strains of hemp can tolerate growing in a Siberia winter. Hemp is a resilient plant that will grow almost anywhere. Be mindful that I said “strain.” Not all hemp seeds are made equal, and you need to take into consideration which strain we are talking about. A strain that does excellent in Argentina will not have the same yield as one in Russia and vice versa.

Hemp can tolerate the cold. In fact, hemp is quite a frost tolerant plant. Mature hemp plants can tolerate temperatures as low as 29 degrees Fahrenheit. Hemp seedlings, however, are very susceptible to the cold and will not be able to survive. Hemp grows best in a mild temperature with proper humidity.

Mature plants are okay with temperatures down to freezing, but that will kill new seedlings. A moderate freeze will damage leaves and could kill some plants. So, it’s best to plant in the spring, so they have the 3 or 4 months they need, frost-free, to mature.

Hemp is frost tolerant. Mature hemp can tolerate 29-32°F, while those temperatures would kill seedlings in the spring. A moderate cold of 25-28°F may affect vegetation and will impact semi-hardy plants. Colder temperatures will also cause green plants to turn purple/red, but the change of color of the vegetative tissues does not necessarily mean that the oils in the plant will be affected. Freezes of 24°F and colder will cause substantial damage to hemp.

They can get quite cold. They are one of the most resilient crops in the entire world. Recent studies have shown that they can tolerate colds down to 29F, being a mature hemp plant. If they are seedlings or smaller plants, they would be killed in these temperatures. Only colder than that for mature hemp plants, they will also be damaged and potentially die.
