How long until you can harvest after rains.

[Biggsull]

Like the title suggests, I am wondering how long after say a 12 hour hard rain would you wan't to wait before harvesting your plants.




Also if you do harvest in the rain is it guaranteed to have some mold or are there ways to dry it out safely in say a room with low humidity and a few fans circulating the air?

I have to grab the plants at night because of a very complicated situation and I was planning for tonight at 2 am, the problem is that It started to rain at about 7pm and it doesn't look like it's going to let up.

If I simply wait for a day of sunny weather and then go they might not be there anymore.

Halp!

If any glands were knocked off by the hard rain they won't make a comeback so it's fine to harvest them and getting wet is a small price to pay :thumbsup: they'll be fine with fans on them, once they're fairly dry turn the fans of tho, don't want them to dry to fast, just a light breeze is a dim area

How about a room that has an air conditioner in it, they pull most of the moisture out of the air but it will be fairly cold in the room...

Not sure what effect it would have on drying them out especially with the buds being extra moist...

Flash drying is good for moisture laden flowers, very low humidity, 70 degrees minimum.

Your a/c room "can" work, but if you don't know the relative humidity you are basically stuck praying mold does not invade.

don't worry if they are wet ,just trim the leaves off and hang the buds in a room with a fan moving the air not directly on the buds
