Looking good on that pic, just make sure they dont tip over in the wind.Thanks @Chester13. I'm in southern Australia, frost won't be a problem until after harvest, but we are having a pretty wet summer. Plants have been trained low and wide as per pics. I do have the ability to set up a temp cover to protect them from the worst of the rain so I think I'll try that so this season. Can't move them undercover because they are too big . The only place they would fit is the carport, and whilst it would make for good viewing for the neighbours I doubt they would last long.

I am always worried when the rains start, but its almost always the same story, they look better after the rain.
Only once had a serious PM issue in a very wet fall.
I washed those buds right after harvest with the Jorge Cervantes method, with water and H2O2, works really well.
We have very hot and dry summers.
Usually about 3 days heavy rain in october, gota fría.
Even then, only real problem is the buds affected by caterpillars.
They start rotting real soon if i dont cut them away.
The trichomes arent going to be washed away in the rain, so no worries.
Try genetics that are resistent, usually sativas handle rain better.
Or quick finishers like fast version.
Good luck
