So I’m sittin’ here, about 2wks from harvest on one batch of Autoflowers and 5-6wks from harvest on Photos… Have removed most of the fans, all from AFs.
We’re expecting rain tonight, no idea heavy/light. But timing ain’t great. Not expecting HEAVY rain, and doubt we’ll have a second day, but do I need to bag them to protect from bud rot, or will they shed it well enough?
SF Bay Area, but inland… we just had 5 days of 100+, expecting 80s-90s next 6 days. This is just a front approaching the coast, but because of the fires NE of here, it’s sucking the cold stuff inland.
I’m only being completely protective and proactive because it’s my first grow and it seems to be going much better than expected …I’m scared of rot !! Had to kill one cola due to a cabbage looper boring a hole in it like an apple amd that caused a tiny bit of rot around the area …cut the entire cola 4 weeks or so out …which was 2 days ago …was pretty too
I think if you can minimize the water on the buds that’s probably best but if not like my case I just wait til it passes and then give top to bottom all the Buds a lil shake to get the water off and they seem to be doing OK.
She’s Captain America KUSH, seeds from some 28% sun grown weed I bought. I planted 12 seeds, SHOCKED that it’s an AF, got 2 females, Both are like this. One of the best accidents ever
Ok, UPDATE… I lucked out, my buddy 15miles away got rain, but he had bagged his crop. I didn’t get anything until 6am, it was a quick downpour. ‘Felt it’ coming, so moved everyone under the plum tree for a couple of hours, then back out in the fresh air. NO WATER DAMAGE!!
Thanks to everyone for your advice
