Let 'em go, they'll be fine.Cover up the plants with garbage bags or let them get watered but risk unbalanced PH and mold?
Completely disagree.Depends on how big they are. Smaller plants cant take too much rain and wind. I've lost plenty due to heavy rains. I usually cover my small plants now.
Have you ever head of acid rain?Do you know where they grew cannabis before there was such a thing as a grow room??? outside, yep thats right. I've even heard rumors that cannabis can grow in the wild without help from man, and still thrive at the same time. but i do suggest shaking water off your plants during flowering to reduce chances for mold if your growing a strain that makes hella dense buds or if your growing in a valley or if you having a wet autumn or your plants dont get early morning sun in they're location. actually i suggest always shaking the water off your plants after a rain no matter what the conditions are, if its realistic for you to go out to your garden whenever and do that after every rain then absolutely. but what ever you do dont put garbage bags on your plants, you dont have to do that. anything that makes contact with your buds is gonna rub trichs off, nobody wants that. and plants like to breath too, just like us. you wouldnt wanna be covered in a garbage bag....... or would you? and what do you mean about unbalaced ph from rain??? are you serious???
If you are seriously worried about acid rain, maybe growing outdoors isn't the best move. I guess if you live in an industrial area like Gary, Indiana, Detroit, etc, you should worry about it.Have you ever head of acid rain?
Different strokes, for different folks I guess. I've had plenty of stems break due to winds and heavy rains myself.Completely disagree.
We just experienced the worst set of tornadoes that came through our area in our states history. Where I have baby seedlings and small plants growing, I experienced ZERO damage on either my baby seedlings or small plants. My particular plants experienced 50mph wind gusts for a few days in a row, over a few different weeks.
Not to mention the biblical flooding and downpours that have beset our area, on an almost weekly basis this spring season.

Oh yea, my baby seedlings and small plants also handled this size hail raining down on it last week:

When you really have to worry about rain is during the late stages of flowering, when you have a lot of sensitive buds that could be easily damaged.
That's when it's a good idea to put up a tarp and some poles to support it, or find some other way of moving your plants to keep them dry.
