nothings gunna happen :hippy:... i hit the same rain i bet...

happen with the type of rain we just had is that you'll need to worry for about 4 hours....

Don't worry, light rain won't hurt things, especially when it's low humidity and warms up fairly quickly the same day. You can go out and shake the water off the buds to accelerate the drying.

I want to see some pictures of your deal!!! LOL!!!!

Why would you want to mess with mother nature ?

Unless she brings you some mold or fungus, It's nothing to worry about. Now a bad storm beating them up maybe bad.

THC is not water saluable.

Has to be a lot of rain to cause damage. Many days of downpours. You will do more damage covering them with a tarp then the rain will do.

give 'em a good shake, whenever you walk by them ... they love the attention :thumbsup: ... it strengthens their stems and branches, scares out insects for you to identify, and gets some moisture out, too :smokin:

I got rained on last year really hard. It had no affect on the quality but it did break a lot of limbs. Those broken limbs kept me going until harvest.

The main thing I worry about is branches breaking, it's still warm enough here that rot shouldn't be an issue.

[rudy2010]

Yeah breaking limbs is definitely the main problem I found associated with rain. As long as the skin does not break completely you can usually just prop the broken limbs carefully to their original position and they will continue to grow normally. I did have some strange loss this year. One large purple derkle that was a really nice clone mother when put out June 1 started to break. It was probably due to an animal (bears, deer, pigs) or really high winds. Anyway I propped it up carefully and every time I went back to check on it another piece was broken until it just died completely. It was OK smoke since it was the derkle (purple erkle x sour diesel) but did not have the taste or killer high but was just below what the top weed available in the local dispensaries and better than some there.

Don't want to start an argument but outdoor NOT harvested early seems to be the best you can get.
