Hopefully it will be ok, as it was one fine looking lady an hour ago, I'd be pretty choked if it died. Anyways I guess the point of the post is to be prepared before the wind knocks over your crop, and stake them before. OH YEAH and the other big elnina is a frakkin male too, so hes gonna get chopped before he does something bad to the ladies.

WHAT THE??? hail in August? rain in July? and I thought the heat was bad!

I'm real sorry about your babies, sounds like you did what you could though. except I am wondering, why did you stuff a paper towel inside the stem?

but ya, that sucks. I've been through something similiar (i don't update my grow log as well as you do daddy) and at the end of the day, I was just glad I didn't lose everything.

and i'm sure you thought of this already but is there anyway you could erect a cover/tarp/barrier to protect them from the elements?
