Your plants will stop growing when the GROUND temps are below freezing.
Soil temperatures are usually15-20 degrees warmer for a period of time when fall rolls around
For me that is in December.
Basjoos and Mekongs (and many other plants) still grow when air temps dip to near freezing.
A lot still happens underground .

Feel free to fertilize..... water solubles are a good choice.


You /me still have at least 50 days of grow time left for these plants


Your choice... these plants know when to stop.
