I've had no trouble growing big and beautiful outdoor plants here in the Pacific Northwest. The problem is about 3 weeks before harvest time it usually starts raining. My big beautiful buds seem to love to soak up the water, and hold it deep inside themselves even when it's not raining. It is typical that I have to choose a cut off point, wieghing bud decay against the prefered harvest time.

Well it started raining yesterday, and continues off and on. Here we go again. But this year I have this idea to drape clear plastic garbage bags over the plants to keep the rain off. Has anybody heard of this or done this? Can it be done? I don't see why not, but how often do you think one would have to remove the bags to let them breath, once every other day maybe? I imagine it would not look good from the air to have 8 clear garbage bags lined up in the middle of the forest. Crap, now I'm too parinoid perhaps to try it. Any thoughts?

If anyone has other ideas I certainly would appreciate input.
