what do you mean by pull out now?.

I can provide more pics later. They have been hastily tied to some nearby growth, and they measure between 5-6 foot. I look at the trichromes with a microscope and I think they need to mature for another week and a half. Will the trichromes rub off with all the wind? The strains are unknown. One is Purple as you can see but thats all I know. I saved the seeds from a bag from last year. Check the weather for ZIP 21234, and let me know what you think of the forecast.

I would let them ride out the storm and see what they look like after. You can always take them after the storm if they have been broken.

Hello fellow Maryland grower! I too was searching for similar information about winds and decided it was time to sign up for this site i've been reading all summer for my grow tips.
Anyway, I'm in the same boat with these winds m8. I live in Ocean City so we are RIGHT on the coast. One of our tallest plants is actually planted less than a mile from the ocean!
Just wanted to let you know your not alone. I'm scared for my babies too! I think we will be fine though, the last tropical storm that came through just bent my plant slightly and those were head on winds last time.
Good luck!

O and I guess I'll add some pics

Thats not a bad idea, but they look to be a little tall for that. I just finished tying them to each other and also used some bricks as guy wire anchors. I think the plants should survive without a problem, I feel more concerned about the trichromes which may suffer wind damage so late. I'll post a follow-up to let everyone know how the ladies wind up doing.

Unfortunately my plants that weren't pinched are too tall for that. Not to mention I'm doing some guerrilla style growing and bringing trashcans to these areas may seem a little suspicious haha.

yea guys, i feel your worries, i actually just put a tarp over my babies in my yard, pretty sturdy, used the same thing when hanna came up the east coast, they were unharmed and bone dry the entire time, i wish you all luck if you have the same storm about to hit you

Wow, that one dark-colored girl.. I have never seen the leaves themselves that color. Gorgeous, really. And they sure do look CLOSE, like really close to being ready for harvest.
I think you can expect trichome damage from high sustained winds like that. I'd do everything I could to diffuse the wind, make a wind-break or something if they're not ready to go just yet.
You didn't breed that purple girl, did you? The color is really, really nice.

Seamaiden, I was completely surprised when it suddenly turned Purple toned throughout the plant. All my plants look almost ready, I hope my gamble to wait is worth it. My seeds were not purchased from a seedbank, they were saved from some low-grade schwagg. Out of 6 plants, I had 2 males that I martyred for the good, but maybe I should have pollinated a little of each of them. It was sheer Luck.

Some of my plants leaves are also turning purple. From what I've read in the growers bible it could just be a sign of fall approaching as temperatures start to get colder. I'm hoping its just a purple strain though 
Like you I also used some mids seeds.

Purple is a sign of P deficient plants which is often caused by low temperatures.
