Rain Question

[kckbtr]

I'm about a week from harvesting and the weather forecast is calling for rain the next 3 days.
My question is harvest now to avoid possible mold and fungus issues or ride it out?

ride it out, the rain shouldnt rot it. and the wather man is the most unreliable person in the world. when it stops raining (if it even does), grab your plant by the main stem at the base and give them a good hard shaking. do this until you get the majority of the excess water off. but be careful if you have weak stems. they are outdoor plants so this is highly unlikely, but use your judgement. how tall are they by the way?

^^^ I heard the same thing, from a buddy of mine. It rained this morning, and I had to move them quickly before the crystals melted away. I really don't know though, we'll have to both wait for the answer.

dont worry the crystals wont melt away. and rain water is actually the best water source for plants.

Just wondering.... Wouldn't vigorously shaking the nearly finished plant's branches cause a lot of the trichome heads to detach and fall off of their stalks? TIA.

I grow out doors in Oregon, the wet dream, and the rain is fine BUT if the HUGE flowers are not staked the rain will bring the plant down, for good. Been there, done that and it suxs. Now it's all good!!!

Make Sure they are properly supported if you allow yourself to keep outdoor while in 3 days of rain... if not 1 day of rain and clouds, also i would personally spray them down with clean water (if they dont look beten for any reason) a little after and start flushing or (i beleiev its called) leeching days later for your harvest and also look into a flushing solution if it is affordable
