how do you handle it? experiences, theories, hypothesis
If a hurricane hits your plants, what can you do? People have a hard enough time just keeping their homes from being destroyed; how can they hope to protect a marijuana plant?whats to handle, that reply doesn't make any sense. has anyone had plants in the ground during hurricane season on the east coast and if so, what did you do to protect your plants?

if youre worried plant em in 5 gallon buckets and bring em inside when the hurricanes come
I have seen 70mph winds and had tie them to stakes to keep them from getting blown all over. this was in like September too when there were heavy buds. if you think there not gonna survive maybe give indoor a trymaybe i need to clear things up a bit. i live inland and i'm smart enough to know that if a hurricane hits that your plants are pretty much done for. obviously, a few people that have posted don't live on the east coast. when i made this thread i was referring to late July and through August when a lot of hurricanes form in the Caribbean and don't necessarily hit land but, their effects are definitely felt, i.e. very heavy rain and winds. also, around this time the humidity is very high. i know that there are outside growers on the east coast who have had experiences with these occurrences, i would just like to know how YOU have handled these type of events through that part of the summer. i'm in the middle east, could someone from Florida please, chime in?
new member, some time cultavist, 10 year plus floridian, not proud, just saying.
the answer is simple,
if your plants are in a 5 gal, move them inside for some hours when the storm is hitting too hard, and move them back out when it's over, piece of cake.
For the people that have farms too far from home, build a strong tent , or (if you're up for it) dig'm up and put'm in 5 gallon containers, and be careful to not cut too far into the root system.
Im lucky enough to grow a stones throw away, and on a second note.
I'f you're a true floridian, or even a somewhat experienced grower in this state, you're already prepared.
OK, I apologize for not interpreting the original post correctly. Also, I'm not a true Floridian as I've only lived here a few years..... and I'm not an experienced grower either.I'f you're a true floridian, or even a somewhat experienced grower in this state, you're already prepared.
