I have not seen one drop but your right the clouds look bad so I tarped mine so the water runs off my house onto the tarp and to the ground keeping my nugs dry and watering with mother's water. Not to worried only got like a week left should be real busy come next week end but I dont want to get em wet might take longer to dry once harvested next week end. Heck I hope we get some rain no wind alittle earlier but dead calm right now my plants need water so rain already! Lol

Use a clear painters tarp. Wet buds, close to finish. Thats even worst dude. You may have higher chances of mold now. Just think of that humidity + water. I see mold for sure....

I'm impressed that you can make a 'for sure' statement about my garden when you haven't even seen it and don't have any idea of the microclimate or humidity levels. The sun's coming out tomorrow.
Don't wish mold on people.

If you have thick dense buds you dont want them to get wet. The pot from way back that got rained on naturally never had all the stuff we have today to make the biggest buds ever. We now have Excellent strains, Foxfarm products etc. that equals to gigantasourus buds. I put patio umbrellas over mine last year and it wasnt enough to keep em dry from the rain. I had mold big time. Best bet is to do what it takes to keep em dry..dont kid yourself. As soon as the sun comes out uncover em and let em air out.

I'm in norcal too and I have 5 plants that are about 5' tall . . . have no good tarp at the moment to hang over the top of them but I managed to put tarp along the 7FT fence that I have wire supports on (so it's basically wind-proof as it gets crazy windy where I'm at.)
right now it's really windy and raining. not very hard last I checked but I'm still concerned, these plants have a few more weeks to go . . .

FDD , I like the pvc pipe bent over and clear plastic/duct tape idea. I bet the plants under that one will stay dry. I had patio umbrellas placed back to back last year and where the gap was that I didnt fully seal the rain just poured in and mold followed. With buds that look like that I would be getting started harvesting some of em now. Maybe start to thin out the crowd to get more air in between them. Just speaking from my one and only banner year I had last year though. I know you know whats best . Good Luck Bro.

if its raining on your buds, thats worst than if it were 100% humidity. Them getting wet period .is bad. You dont get it do you? Look at the pro > FDD's ready for the down pour, are you? Im not wishing, Im just stating what might happen.
i have several plants that are really close. my leg is really sore from all this work or i would be trimming some right now. once we get thru this rain i think i'll start chopping.

right on, I'm way up north towards the boarder of oregon and california, gets really windy up here and rainy towards harvest. I built a pretty good fence to support the wind and allow the possibility of hanging tarp.
talked to my fellow grower out here today and he said the rain we got didn't even hurt them, it's the next storm that we have to worry about.
