Heavy rain outdoor plants

[DrewKitten]

First time grower here.. I have a couple in a 10gal bin about 5 weeks into flowering. Getting hit with some heavy rain and it's supposed to last about 48 hours. I brought them inside because they're soaked and the bin really doesn't have drainage.... I have a fan going trying to get them dried off a little. I don't have any indoor grow stuff set up yet though. Are they gonna be okay just hanging out in my house for a couple days?

Just shake the plant after each rain it will be fine

I was already having issues with too much water. No drainage will drown the roots, right? The soil has been saturated for about 4-5 days now and we've still got another inch or two of rain coming tomorrow before we get sunlight again.

Very simple!!! Cover the plant or plants with a clear plastic.! Let's sun in and not rain. A mini greenhouse if you will.

NO YOUR CRAZY ! anyone that tells you to cover them is Crazy ! mold spores happen this way ! Wet plus heat = mold bud rot lol let it rain drill some more holes if your worried about drainage remember the plant is flowering now and needs at least 12 hours of darkness so taking it inside with any lights will affect her ! Shake off the plants after each rain and the up the buds if needed for heavy rain marijuana is a plant plants live outdoors ! C'mon people!

Lol so people that grow year round in greenhouses get mold?? Stop spreading bad advice. I said cover them during the rain..

Cover your plants when it rains.

Shaking off your plants will shake off tricomes with it.

I wouldn't be worried about it if they were planted in the ground somewhere.. or in a better container. II'll try to drill some holes tomorrow and see how it goes.

Good call!

The shaking off part does help prevent mold growth of wet weather or even morning dew prolonged wet buds could get mold hopfuly you get some airflow to dry them off

Lmao this is laughable ok dear do as you may so in the same respect in really windy days your bud loses them all oh no ! Let's cover them up then too ! C'mon first grow some pot then give advice

Hey how about you look at the weather channel and if it going to rain you cover the plants for a couple hours then you don't have to worry about any water. Clear so the plants don't fall asleep

Yeah they're soaked pretty much every morning now. My father in law already lost a bunch to bud rot and he doesnt live too far from me. His place actually gets good wind too so I'm paranoid about my girls lol.
