you can cover it but you risk getting botrytis aka bud rot and pm powdery mildew from the humidity going up from being covered depends on how long you cover them for and if they get hit with sun right after .and you can get botrytis from the rain hitting them also what i do is just as soon as its done raining i go and shake the rain off my plants so they can dry up faster you never want to let rain sit on your plants exp from 4 weeks on cause buds are like a sponges and you will get rot...second question most people take the tops off of there outdoor plants first then they let the bottoms go a week or two later to get better yields and finish up cause soon as you cut a branch off the energy that would be going to that branch goes to the next set of branches and the rest of the plant ....jorge cervantes canna bible and grow dvds will help you a lot

choose a mold resistant strain. I grew Holland's Hope last year. It rained for 3 straight days in Sept and then 3 straight days in Oct. Out of 5 plants that were harvested on the 15th of Oct I had zero mold or bud rot. Smelled up the whole yard also.

I may have overlooked it, but I didn't see any discussion of Spinosad-based pest control sprays or Spinosad watering concentrates for pest control indoors and outdoors........ I have used this with good results.

I have been reading a lot the past few days and I just can’t seem to find the answers I am looking for. I can grow up to 12 plants at a buddies place, Middle Eastern part of the state, so thought I would try my hand at an outdoor grow this year. So I have a couple of questions. 1. I am going to start them in photoperiod so when is a good time to get them started? The end of September first part of October the temps start dropping at night.
2. How far apart should I put them from each other, so they are getting the room and airflow to keep them strong and healthy?
3. How big of a pot should be there forever home?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
