I am growing outdoor and have about a week to go before harvest...

My plants are not sheltered and It's been raining for 2 days on and off pretty heavily...

Will it mess up the buds???

Its some sort of Haze Strain so the buds are big but not too fat..

Short simple answer is that yes it could "mess" up your buds.

It being an outdoor plant I think the bud will be able to get through a wet spell. As long as there is air movement and sunshine after the rain, they will be fine.

Marijuana grew outdoors for thousands of years. I'm betting it can handle rain.

If you are not getting enough dry spells in-between the rain you may want to consider a temporary tent style shade, best advice was to shake the rain off but be careful not to shake them to hard so not to break them. you can find these inexpensive at Walmart or even rig up your own.

you should be alright but once they start drying out don't give them any additional water. If you plan to harvest next week you want the dirt dry as possible for better results during the drying/curing process. Peace.

The haze should be ok is that 100% sativa? Its the indicas that are a concern in rain and high rh because the main cola is so dense.

didnt matter if it got moldy if no one was smoking it.
As long as you get a few days of sunlight to dry them off before you harvest and dry them yourself i think you will be fine

Try rain-x I hear it repels water... No shake them make sure you have good air movement when your drying

I'm sure they did, but rain doesn't automatically screw up your weed.
Everyone that grows outside keeps rain off their plants? It will be ok, just keep an eye on it, and like everyone says, gently shake off the excess.

Shake them off every once in a while and once after it stops raining. Let the water dry off and get some sunshine and you will be fine.
Rain can sometimes droop and break braches keep an eye on them.
Good Luck.
