Is Tina Turner going to be watching over this 'dome'?
No! ...This is Dugg, from "Dugg's Northern Security Services". My team will be watching over the dome.

Major is the dome for heat protection, bugs and or snow/frost?
- Thread starter

Only for protection from rain, early frosts and light snow/hail. Heat is pretty much over for this year. We may get another day or two this week in the low-90's, but from there on, it should be highs in the 70's-80's, at most.
I won't be enclosing the sides so I'm not offering them much in the way of staying warm this fall. We've already been down in the mid-40's at night. IMO, there is no way to keep bugs out of an outdoor grow. But last year we had plenty of rain. If I can keep the water off them and shield them from light frosts, I hope to be able to let them run a few extra weeks. It will only make a difference for AS, GG4 and maybe LH. The others are almost certainly a write-off. I knew it when I planted them but wanted to see how they did outdoors.
My wife ordered a 24' x 24' cover this morning. It should arrive in a week, or so. Of course it isn't going to fit this dome shape, but I can make it work. The cover will put an end to most pictures, other than close-ups.

And here I thought indoor growing had it's challenges.
Major is just the person to meet this challenge! He's done it....what a great shelter for his girls! Just an awesome idea!

Update (Week 30 / Week 3 of Bloom)
Good evening
I feel like I've been on a slow boat to China, but finally starting to get some love out of a couple of these ladies.
We had a very cool week but temp's are rebounding and should be back into the 90's by the weekend.
First up are three pictures of AS. She was the first to begin blooming this year, so she really is on her third week. All pictures are from 6' - 8' up a ladder.
Right next to her is LH. She's still doing almost nothing in the way of flowering. She's just now putting out some pre-flowers. Two pic's:
Meanwhile the other LH in a pot in the veggie garden gets a little less light/more shade. She's a few days ahead of her sister and is finally beginning to bud.
The next two are ZD(+). Nothing much going on. Preflowers are about at the same stage as LH #1 (almost nada).
These two pic's are from way up high. GT(+). Not even a pre-flower showing.
ZD(+) is in the background.
Still GT(+) with ZD(+) on the left and AS in the back.
GASS, also in a pot in the veggie garden, was second to begin blooming. The cool nights have her dropping fans. Not much of a looker.
GG4 may not have the sexiest genetics, but she is my favorite this year. Easy to grow. Nice structure. No yellowing or other leaf issues. Lots of sugar considering she's only on her second week. The big surprise for me is the smell. The flowers smell like lemon zest with a faint sweet fuel note. I got a bit carried away with photos of her.
That's it for this week.
magnificent!...time to put the Barry White music on continuous loop overnight...get those other gals feeling sexy!...lolool...cheerz...h00k...

Great job! Those are some BBWs! 
Mine too Major. ALOT of gardens are slow' this year. I even seen say global warming. But here we are the 7th already, and mine look to be only like ten days in flower. And Oct is coming fast.
But I have my little 2 cents to throw out, like sometimes I do, I think if someone looked back in a farmer almanac you might find we posable had a big bright full moon around the first week last month. A big bright full moon might put your flowers off atad? Just my thoughts. I know my plants should've been further along then they are. I kind of figured it was all bug damage. But it's not just you,,, or me. Keepem Green

DG and Morglie!Like I said, be careful what you wish for. Big plants = big work. Be prepared to spend hours every day in your garden. Then again, it's nice work if you can get it.

duggan! I hope you have a most excellent rest-of-the-week.Yeah - Sativas are cool looking, but not for outside at this latitude. Too tall. Too slow. I'll stick with faster genetics next summer.

I hadn't considered the timing of the full moon. Dunno - but very interesting! It very well could be I suppose. In my case, I think the only plants that are going to suffer are the Liberty Hazes. The more indica-dominant plants should finish OK, and the Sativas are ... Sativas.
Best of luck bringing yours home!
