HELP. Rain is coming and time to harvest is near

[drrazzu]

Hello,The weather report says that for the next week it is going to be raining and cloudy. Three Light of Jah outside in 7 gallon super pots are near to finishing. Looks like within the next 10 days. This is the time to flush, put in the dark and dry air. Will this much rain effect the buds in a negative way? How will that effect harvesting? Razzu

Oh no, that's not good news really. Depends where you live to some extent but where I am I have to keep the buds completely dry otherwise mould will set in overnight, you can lose half your crop in a day or two if flowers get wet and you're not watching carefully. Can you get fans on them to dry them off after the rain? Can you bring them inside or under shelter during the rain?

Rained solid and often hard last 14 hours. I am bringing them in under fans. I don't think two days in a bright window will hurt them. Better than mould! What you think?

Yes absolutely, I think they're much better off next to a window inside with fans on them than out in the rain. You can turn them midway so both sides get a chance to look out the window Still, watch them and keep air moving as humidity in the air will probably be high. Lucky you have the option for them to be in! Not long to go! Exciting!

Here I am at cure. Considering that for the first few weeks the lows were in the low 40. Things went well tell the end when the rains came and I had to bring them inside. Finally rain ended and had a few days of dry sun then some cloudy days. More rain was coming so I harvested. The hairs were 70% amber on a lot of the buds with cloudy tichs 10% but their were also a lot with the hairs only showing amber in their tips and trichs all clear. Three plants about 75 grams of extremely potent uplifting getter done high. Will grow Light of Jah again. For my first auto flower grow and doing a below par job I am a convert. Trying New York diesel next because of the extreme heat.
