been raining and now rain all week.
I have all my lowers still plumping up.
The second and third pulls on each plant.

How do they get hard with a week of rain? Not much sun.

I don't stagger the harvey for OD grows anymore, specifically because of the weather. I don't think your lowers are gonna harden up.

Letting your little's mature can be a big difference. My sky lotus I left nothing over a gram, and now I have some nugs that are pushing 5g's. Littles don't really rot in the rain either, if your plant is healthy. I have had 8 days of rain in the last 14 days. No rot yet.

As for why this happens. The root zone carries excess energy. Once you take 90% of a plants foliage away, the plant is forced to use up it's reserves, and send it to the flowers as a last ditch effort to reproduce. Now you have a GIANT root zone, with huge amounts of stored potential, all being fed into 10% of the plants foliage. All that energy goes strait into the buds.

Rain is fine as long as you have breaks where the humidity drops, but if they can't dry out you are going to have mold. I finished last night pulling all the little buds that had grown quite a bit and I found several small pockets of mold. It seems like they are fine one day and moldy the next. After November 1 you are just asking for mold here in S. Oregon
