How much do you think you will yield off that beauty?

I'm not really sure honestly, I've never grown a plant this big, hoping for atleast a half pound

You'll hit HP easy, Just prepare some sort of rain cover if needed so you can allow them to fully mature this time. That last week or two you can let them go longer does wonders for your yield when those calyxs are really swollen. Plants look good, keep it up.

I don't know if rain cover is the answer ahah, I elevated my plants compared to last year so hopefully will be better. it wasn't so much the rainfall itself that hurt the plants but the accumulation of it, my field is low and during the intense storm had water flooded up past my knees, causing the fabric pots which held my plants to start to float away LOLYou'll hit HP easy, Just prepare some sort of rain cover if needed so you can allow them to fully mature this time.

Raising them may not have even been needed, as last years extreme weather was hurricane dorrians fault, so as long as another huge storm doesn't come they should do great!
This is still probably a good idea though, keeping extra moisture off the buds to help prevent mold I assume? Been having a lot of rainy weather and just had to cut one of my autoflowers about a week early because of mold risk, had to scrap a few buds

Exactly. you got it. For me in Mass when growing outdoors the rain and high humidity rolls in sept/oct every year, along with the cold and we get some decent storms around that time. But yeah basically when they are in that last couple of weeks the buds are so fat that if they get rained on and dont have great weather right afterwards to dry off, then its recipe for disaster. For massachusetts outdoors, we might get rain one day, overcast for 2 days more rain, then some wind to top it off, Oh and throw in a 39° night and a 90° day some where in there too...I don't know if rain cover is the answer ahah, I elevated my plants compared to last year so hopefully will be better. it wasn't so much the rainfall itself that hurt the plants but the accumulation of it, my field is low and during the intense storm had water flooded up past my knees, causing the fabric pots which held my plants to start to float away LOL

Basically if you really want to get that last week or two of prime swelling growth to full maturity outdoors, unless you live in great climate or have great luck that year, I believe you should protect them from rain if your buds are big. (air flow super important to fight mold...) So even rigging up a fan and tarp some how could increase your yield and quality a bunch.

Yeah that’s for sure, the extra couple weeks under plastic or if you can bring in at night ( obviously not in OP’s case lol ) make a huge difference in the weight and potency. Plants looks good man.
