Hello I planted about ten auto seedlings about two weeks ago. They are only about 3 inches tall right now still on first set of leaves. They are outdoor in small holes I dug and filled with ffof. I'm in the CA Bay Area and we are getting hit with a good rain storm and decent winds for a few days . Does anyone have experience with auto seedling in the rain and wind ? Is this too much stress for autos which cant afford any extra stress? Thanks guys

the trouble is going to be the rain

if u can put a cup outside and capture some of it ..........u want to do a PH test and get the water reading

if the water is acidic u are going to need to PH buffer some water up higher to raise it in the soil ....or u are going to need to add some bio feed so the microbos can adjust the ph back to what it likes

Thanks for your reply , I went out and checked some rain water and it showed around 7.5 ph. Do you think that is too high ?

ffof........the ph is balanced to7.0 already .............. this is fresh soil not that old .........u should be fine.........your feeding the plant (if u are using a bio feed system that will help keep the PH in balance )

and a 7.5 rain ph is very very nice .......mine is in 4.7/ 4.9

the rain was always good for my autos the problem i had alot of times with it was when they were flowering and it downpoured rain,, the dirt/muds splashed up into the buds and it very hard to get it out of them when there stick, so just make sure you mulch with something
