Ummmmmm she looks nice. Do you have any space inside?? or if not try leave it as long as you can or cover it if possible like an umbrella, if rain won't stop and you can't help her then I think your best options are chop buddy

Space inside but no lighting or equipment. Wanted to experience outside first. But I will try my hardest to keep them from flooding out. My other problem is the weather so I put them in the shed at night. Hearing that can cause a hermie. Not sure. Is that true?

Yes from constant stress you can get a hermie, try make sure the shed has no lighting when sun is down and you should hopefully be okay

No there not going to "herm" from being put in a shed at night!
Don't harvest yet!
Even with clouds they get light.
When the weather is bad.....bring them inside and put them in a window during the day......You moved them in for that picture!
good luck and be patient

I did move them in. Only to take the pics. They are outside now. Didn't want the cold to kill the crop. But they hanging on. And I'm being patient. Just learning the ropes. It's my first grow. I know they aren't much. But I kept it small and intimate. Here's a pic of them during the day.

Thank u guys for all the info. I'm taking all of it in and using it to the best of my abilities. I appreciate the time taken to view posts. Did I mention they're all natural. Nothing added but water and sun. A lil plant food here and there, but that's it.

That's what I'm trying indoors lol, but the lady's get pritty hungry + mine don't look as nicely uniformed.. Well done and do what your doing

Can any of u guys tell me if they are indi or sati? They were from a friends indoor grow but I don't think he knew what they were. Most likely bag seed. But one smells like a lemon Christmas tree.. The other smells like a piney diesel strain. I'm clueless.. named them mythbuster.. if that's allowed.. lol..

I've been shocked at what I've got from bag seeds.

I'm shocked at these.. didn't even expect it. But once the sprouts shown themselves, I've been watching and learning.

Think this is the first year I really put time and effort into really trying a small garden.I've grown a few small plants when I was younger, but wasn't anything special do to lack of knowledge, long story short I've lost most of my crop this year do to lack of patients and mold. But learned a lot for next year.

It is a very good thing that your plants are in containers.
Ride the impending storm out by providing your plants shelter indoors.
After the storm threat passes, put them back outside and give them as much direct sunlight as possible.
Stay closely tuned to your local weather's first frost forecast...leave them out 'till then.
Good luck!

Thank u much. Anything u care to share as far as tending to them, I'm all ears. I wanna do a small indoor grow. Simple lights, maybe 2 2 gallon pots. Any suggestions?

Also as far as your outdoor plants if there's any way you can make a simple clear plastic cover for the days that are rainy that would be fine to do also.........it doesn't have to be anything fancy just to keep the rain off and since your plants are small it shouldn't take much ......that way you get light all day and you can bring them in at night out of the cold still. Good luck. Keep growing

I will be happy to help.
Small indoor grows are easy, depending on the type of lights you plan on using...the brighter the better.
IMO, the most bang for the least buck is a 400W HID...You could grow fatter buds than in you pics...a closet would work well throughout the upcoming winter...
CFLs, will work but I have only used them as supplemental, (bad weather day) lighting for my outdoor container plants.
Without any direct sun exposure...I have zero first hand experience.
But I know for certain that a 400W HID (from start to finish) will maximize your time and effort...just sayin'.
