This is always the nervous point. Rainy season is on us and hoping our girls survive it!
Sun and warm days will be with us in a few days hopefully...good luck

Thanks, first time growing and just sweating it out

Maybe a bit of advice which some of the more advanced growers can chime in on.( I'm rarely correct,just ask my wife)
Possibly could do a bit less on defoliating and maybe your girl needs a bit more sunshine next time around to fatten her up. Other than that,she looks like you did ok for first time around. You'll learn quite a bit here.

Rain Rain go away!!! just got back from shaking them off again but don't see anything bad yet from the rain. The 11ft Jekyll passion is leaning a little. One of the gg4 is turning purple on top but the other ones are green. Cheese is going to be ripe in a a couple weeks.

I agree with all of you. Very similar weather a tiny bit south of you. Makes me wonder a bit when to harvest. Wind is ridiculous and unpredictable. This will probably be my last photo of the skunk #1 plant before harvest. Course it has a new name apple fritter, don’t knock who named it but it’s turning purple now so that’s real close.

Well I gave in and put up plastic, aka, my hillbilly greenhouse. 3 straight days of rain is just too much right now. It will come off in a couple days. Fingers crossed it doesn't collapse in the night. Still gonna do the morning leaf blower blow out. My other 3 are fending for themselves till I can get up there.

Man you live dangerous. Water is going to collect and pool on that plastic

I chopped one of my Tropicanna Poison plants today. The picture is after wet trim and a good bud wash. Once I'm sure they are dry from the wash I'll put them in the drying net.

But I feel your pain, I've had a canopy over mine since Friday. Guess it's a good thing there has been no sun either

Always lol... it has a slope, that's what the ladder is for lol. I have like 300 feet of rope across my yard from one side of the fence to the other, even if it does collect a little, it shouldn't crush anything. I'm usually pretty good at hillbilly engineering.

Never washed buds before...whats the concept behind it and What are you using for washing buds?
I've heard of people using diluted hydrogen peroxide

Well, hopefully you won't need it after Wednesday... At least for a couple of days.

Outside, buds collect a lot of pollutants over the course of the growing season. I use an H2O2 wash as well as a couple of plain water washes. After the first wash, the water is kind of gray. It's a cleaner smoke when you're done.

It's no different than washing your fresh broccoli before you cook it at and eat it.

I couldn't agree more with the bud washing I think it helps with a clean smooth experience.

Makes sense to me to get the freeloaders and dust/dirt out. Believe I'll try it. I'm assuming it's a gentle kind of wash /rinse and let them dry off? Thanks for the info!
