Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.
The Sticky Icky ganja lived through another day.

You should be good for now.
Just take that as a warning that you will need some protection and soon!

Every morning my plants are dripping with dew and I've found no mold so one rain storm isnt gonna hurt.

if you built an overhang, how would they get good light? just let em go natural, and a rain shower shouldnt hurt them unless its days of rain. im gonna guess you live in new england somewhere. we get bitches of rainstorms here in mass

If you build an overhang use plexiglass as a cover.... no worries about light there :wink:

Rain of course contributes to mold, but it usually takes an extended increase in outside RH to bring on an infestation. many breeders will tell you however, that the buds should be dry for the last two weeks before harvest.

Because the colas are tightening up and moisture can easily get trapped inside. Everything looks fine until you either trim, or get a whiff of that unmistakable smell of mold.

I'm no expert in outdoor, but after a few years of growing it takes a hell of a lot of rain to cause mold. You should be fine. I'm getting socked right now in NE but no worries, nature takes care of it.

Well I have rot with no rain. It just takes one bug to shit on one of my girls and a little morning due to get it started.


As far as keeping them dry for 2 weeks, just sounds crazy to me. I never had mold happen cause they take up to much water from the roots.

If your referring to my post about 2 weeks dry.... not the soil... the colas. No water should hit ur colas in the last 2 weeks. You can water the pot as needed.

i am 3 weeks away from harvest and my state is having some crazy rain come through and i am also a bit worried. I'm not to concerned because the plant has survived this long and i'm sure many crops have been rained on but they manage to overcome. all is well.
