Trying this outside my first grow. First group has nine seedlings, one that’s a little weak but growing. About whether during thunderstorms or heavy rain should I try to move them into the shed? During one weather system… three seeeding were beat up some so I used little stakes so their stems weren’t in contact with the soil. I’m just protective and hate to lose any to thunderstorms Thanks ---

until they get stronger you may want to do this when you have severe wind or build a wind block of some kind… I saw one person put his plants near the fence and then built a frame and put window screen over the frame and leaned it against the fence…this helped with heavy sun but also filters the wind down ---

hey @Aquaman, I’m also a wny first timer, the weather has been tough lately… I’ve been placing mine under a tree during the storms to lessen the beating from the rain. And I put something next to them to cut down the wind. Other than that they’ve been loving being in the full sun all day. I’m about a month in… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/3/e/d3e4c288426b6f8b17c1fee671026219a1d6e167.jpeg) ---

High, Welcome to the best place to learn how to grow and harvest… these people know what to do listen and you will learn a lot. I use little wood dowels and tie them up until they can hold themselves up. I also use a fan to get them used to the outdoors before they go out. Anything to strengthen them is acceptable in my book.
