Be careful as strong wind &heavy rain could possibly make that collapse on your big buds?For light rain no, but if we have a severe thunderstorm coming or it's near harvest I use a canopy like the one in this picture I found on Google. It doesn't completely protect them if there is a lot of wind or something but it keeps most of the rain out and it still has good airflow which is very important.
Fuck off cause I'm in BC but the region where all it does is rains from September-June lolI don't worry about rain at all until last couple of weeks of flower. Make sure you've done proper pruning techniques, or training methods to allow proper airflow. I don't know where you're located but I'm from BC Canada. I don't have to worry about rain in my region, frost is the killer here. Prolonged periods of rain can definitely fuck things up closer to the end.
Nah it won't collapse under wind and rain. Our canopy is heavy duty and high quality. Not some flimsy junk you get at the dollar store or something. I've had it out in the worst storms last year and this without any kinda signs of damage or anything. I might agree with you if it was very low quality.Be careful as strong wind &heavy rain could possibly make that collapse on your big buds?
The strangest I've seen was one where strong wind gusts actually picked the tent up from underneath and it came down on its side.Nah it won't collapse under wind and rain.

i use baking soda and dish soap mixed in water it helps keep the pm at bay but never gets rid of it. Do you dilute the milk in water or strait milk , i here of this remedy but never used itSpray milk out over your crops the pm feeds up on the bacteria and drops off it's a band-aid method I use all the time
Bro go fuck yourself im in the interior, we get no rain,Fuck off cause I'm in BC but the region where all it does is rains from September-June lol
Only thing we get here is smoke and fire, lolBro go fuck yourself im in the interior, we get no rain,
Hey @grnmtn, thanks for your tips. I tried to shake and dry buds once they got wet but I think they may have been too dense. Budrot was rife about a week after the buds got wet. No other issues at all with the plants, caterpillars were kept at bay with BT spray and no signs at all of PM. I think that if I want to grow 100% outdoor plants then genetics are the key.I choose strains that are supposed do well in my geographical area. Northern New England gets lots of cold rain and fog late in the short growing season.
Wiping Stylet/ Neem oil on leaves greatly helps the battle against powdery mildew.
I don't spray buds but some do early on. It degrades fast but I still don't do it.
Every morning I shake off buds from overnight dew and then after every rain.
That is what I do because I found that covering my plants restricts airflow which is a major issue on its own.
Watch out for those damn tiny caterpillars as they will rot your buds worse than rain.
Remember cannabis is a plant and has been getting wet since the beginning of time.
It looks pretty sturdy but my main problem is that wind and rain usually occur at the same time where I live. Wind ripped the eyelets out off a good quality tarp when my plants got wet - the canopy would have ended up airborne.Nah it won't collapse under wind and rain.

Hi @kevinfever, I can definitely vouch for the milk spray treatment for PM. Haven't used it on cannabis as I didn't have PM problems, but have used it regularly on cucurbits (zucchini, cucumber, pumpkin) for many years. Make sure you keep the ratio 10% milk, 90% water - too much milk can introduce other issues.i use baking soda and dish soap mixed in water it helps keep the pm at bay but never gets rid of it.

Not against the rain…I shake them or blow with leaf blower after storms.
I did start staking them against wind storms with three 6 foot t stakes after this storm.
It is okay yeah that makes alot of sense. Call me cptn obvious lolThat's generally the reason why greenhouse is more expensive and desirable than straight outdoor.
With however a minimum a bare minimum of Labor and materials you can create what I'm talking about. It's kind of like hybrid greenhouse outdoor LOL with much better results than straight outdoor one of those cheap portable shelters people are throwing away the frames to those things all the time you only need to plastic the top. I guess that's what I was getting at. I suppose you could build the same thing on a PVCIt is okay yeah that makes alot of sense. Call me cptn obvious lol
