Heavy Rainfall Protection

Whatsup everyone. I noticed the weather in SE Michigan is getting pretty bad this week. Lots of rain, flooding and cold temps. For now I set up a canopy over my two Red Runtz (Week 6) to protect them from heavy rain which can lead to Powdery Mildew and Bud Rot. I put my small 225w LED light in there to help with the shade caused by the canopy. I tied it down and staked it with paracord for support. Any comments or questions?

I have a small battery fan on one of them it's pretty windy out right now too with a little bit of sun coming out. Idk what the hell's going on with this 5 days of rain were about to have apparently it's not as bad as I expected. I'm afraid to put my good fan out there because I do have PM showing up on leaves and I want to use this specific fan for air circulation during the drying/curing process. Mold spores might possibly get in the fan? Just to be safe I'm going to use one more treatment of Mammoth Cannacontrol. It's worked pretty good but I still see spots here and there on a leaf or two.

A buddy of mine hooked me up on the clones. HTG is a great store with affordable prices. All the nutes besides FISH shit and Big Bloom Fox Farm were donated. Using Advanced Sensi Bloom lineup with Bud Candy and Overdrive. Also used Fox Farm Marine Cuisine for veg. Fox Farm works great and Fish Shit helps break down the organic stuff.

I used paracord on all 4 corners with tent stakes. I have that shit tied down real good. My plants have fell a couple times.. no damage was done thankfully. It's getting crazy around here man. My buddy gave me a 1gal pump sprayer and some stuff called ZeroTol HC. I mixed 25ml in 4L and I'm going to spray tonight.

Do you have or can you acquire 4 cinder blocks? If so put the legs in them and tie off to the blocks. You can even backfill the holes in the block. It’s about the most secure way the locals around here do it

I haven't been able to find any cinder blocks. The tent stakes and cord are holding up real nice. The wind and rain is getting on my nerves. I sprayed the plants with the Zerotol. Man that stuff stinks. Hoping it protects the buds for the next few days. Harvest is close! The buds are fattening up every day.

Finally! The monsoon is over!! Its a beautiful morning. Coming towards the end of Week 6. About 2 or 3 weeks left. I'm keeping the canopy close and ready if it rains again. Despite the rain, the buds did start to fatten up more. I sneaked in a feeding with Overdrive and the regular stuff during the storm the other day. They're looking good! The Zerotol HC worked, the canopy helped, and I was able to keep them in line for harvest! Thanks for all your help guys! Growers working together across the globe! That's what this world needs is all growers working together to make life easier before we all go.
