We did our first outdoor grow this year. Plants are Masterkush and doing great, but in Nor Cal with the storm coming in we are a little worried. Some buds are still a little loose, and milky turned to only about 5% amber. Do we cover to try to go a little further. Any help to this newbie is appreciated.:confused:

Hello calicowgirl and welcome,

IMHO cut them now, pre-storm. The way I see it, if you have gotten to abt 5% amber you have very little to gain by leaving them out and a whole lot to loose if you do.

I might feel differently if your trics where still all clear, then cover and take your chances.

Hope this helps you and good luck.:)

Thanks Oldmac, we were thinking the same way. It's just too risky to lose all or some. Does it matter if the buds are not all tight? We are seeing all milky, no clear, and wee bit of amber, so I guess it's time! Time to get trimming!!! :)

we're all waiting for the same storm, I'm going to have to leave my girls out, they are only 50/50 cloudy clear, wish me luck, and I hope the walnut tree mine are under provide some protection. :jointsmile:

I hope everyone faired through the storm. We ended up having to pull all when fence decided to blow down with the flipping winds we had. We had covered 6 of them and pulled the others, but oh well, you can't beat mother nature.
