Too Much Rain

I am a week or so from harvest. It has been raining off and on for weeks. Not much end in site. Weather man is saying a couple dry days in the middle of the week. I have no mold (yet). Should I harvest on the dry day or wait?

If you really are only a week away from harvest, I would harvest. When mould hits it hits hard and fast. Usually from the lower branches on up, so the web info says, just google mould, tons of info on mould. But yes why risk it. Actually the plants will be good and flushed with pure rain water, actually sounds kinda good, oh and the hunters are on the way out into the fields, so that can be another good reason to harvest. The saying goes "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush"

Hey Growbob...I'm in Oregon too..in the Gorge. Had two days of pretty heavy rain, I've been out shaking my plants (gently) getting as much standing water off the plants as possible..I'm worried about mold too. I guess there are some oils/sprays you can put on them but you are really close. Actually this week (for Portland) looks decent Tuesday-Friday. 67-70 and partly cloudy fairly low chance of rain.

I'm more like 3 weeks out, my concern (besides mold) is that we get a frost..Should I chop it if I know it's going to freeze overnight? Can my girls survive a light frost?

@petert your girls will not survive the frost, i think the only plants that can survive frost are evergreens..i think

IF it is a light frost it might survive, depends how fast light hits your grow area once it hits dawn, if your girls are tough enough they might survive 1 night of light frost and no more IMO.

well its really a very personal call alot of people would say cut it dont risk it but honestly i would leave it and then at the very first site of anything cut it then why cut it if nothing is wrong right now? thats my opinion and with a little bit of luck nothing will happen at all, as for the rain if its in the ground which im assuming it is then you cant really have to much rain if anything its a good thing because it flushes the whole plant out right before your harvest and yes i would harvest on a dry day unless you cant if you have to harvest in the rain i would hang it up before you trim to let the rain dry off hope i could help ... peace

oh yea as for the frost it depends on how hardcore the frost is and it depends on how big your plants are if you have a nice 6 or 7 footer and it just barely frosts then i would feel fairly certain that it would survive but i would chop it right after that i seriously doubt it could survive 2 but it has alot to do with how healthy/large your plant is if you have a nice healthy plant i would say your safe

But he's really close to harvest time anyway. You can wait, I dont think mold is going to grow that fast in just a few days and if it does it will be too late for it to ruin anything because you would be cutting already and drying. It's really a preference for you. If you don't want to see it at all -cut.

Thanks for help and ideas. Sun shinning right now. More rain coming.
