ok so i know i am paranoid in general(no help from MJ,lol) but it rained yesterday and today, not heavily, but moderately. so i figured i have 3 options. Its only supposed to rain tnight and tmrw and then allegedly its SUN,SUN,SUN. However my buds hairs are id say 1/4-1/3 already red or are becoming red at tips. i dont know how the rain will have an affect on potency or progression. my soil is over moist and should be drained(no holes in pot so i have to drill i think?) My 1st option is to bring plant in my house which i did during hurricane irene and found was a smart idea. however being that they are a little wet already....i figured i need air circulation to avoid mold and central air stays at 71-75 deg usually so no prob there. 2nd option is that i repeat option 1 but i have 3 100watt cfl mini spirals i can setup with little circulation from fan until sun comes but i dont wanna screw it up with artificial light. 3rd option is to leave outside as buds probably have 1 or 2 weeks left b4 harvest and it can withstand the normal NY climate changes. i dont wanna hear the plastic bag crap cuz i dont feel its right in my gut. sorry for long thread and thanx for help.

After its done raining you set up every fan you own and point it right at it. Then you grab it by the stem and shake it like you're trying to make apples fall off it (very short fast motion, not trying to rip it the fuck outta the ground) Leave the fans on it for 15 more minutes then only a day or so indoors (maybe overnight two days in a row) I live in rainy Oregon and have repeated this ritual often. Drilling holes in the container is a great way to dry it out fast at the end, good idea.

Dont bring them in now, taking them away from the sun and putting under a couple cfls(you will lose density).They could get relocation stress and i think they could mold inside. Leave them in the sun but check for mold after all that rain.

Thanx 4 the help. I shake it as I read in another post earlier and it gets a few pests and rain drops off. I think I'm gonna sway away from bringing in house to avoid pest infestation. All of Ur info was helpful and i appreciate it.

Problem is there won't be any sun, that was my point. I know theres sun I mean they're will also be rain and clouds accompanied by it. I agree that I should leave it where it is because I'm sure mother nature will have my back as she has so far. It's destiny LOL

I've read that when it is overcast out, or raiby, the light waves still come through, allowing the plant to grow naturally, I think ur biggest worry is the moisture...I'm pretty sure the plants will b OK ( with light)...hope this helped a little. Good luck!

I left outside and Sun came out very next day. It actually repaired leaves that were yellow. And they are now green as can be. All in a day and a half. I love mother nature. She's been good to me. Now all I do is keep picking these 1/4 in worms off my leaves and buds. Like 2-5 each day. Ugh, how tedious! Anyway here's a pic of top after Sun revived. Also im not sure of my strain. I assume it was a sour kush seed but this plant looks like a sativa. If anyone has such a trained eye they can tell me their best guess based on pic I'd appreciate. Happy smoking!
