1st Grow Outdoor, East Coast Bad Weather @ the finishline

First grow, one plant from bagseed in a spackle bucket. Everything has been going great. Then the weather changed, its been cold, raining, and gloomy for a little over a week, with four more days of gloom and rain in the forecast. The leaves are starting to turn yellow (lack of sun?) What should I do? She's been flowering for over a month (at least) and I am afraid the rain and lack of sun is gonna ruin months of care that I put in.....See pics​

Yea man it still has a while left on it before its ready, but with this weather I know your pain. I had to cut mine last week because I live on the east cost (in the mountains) and we had cold rainy weather and thats not good for plants. If it keeps raining(especially at night) and with the way temps are dropping you may want to keep a close eye on it or it might get bud rot and boom loss of everything. I cut mine about a week too early, but it was better than losing it and I still got some good smoke. All Im saying is if this weather keeps up, keep an eye on her because you could lose it and if you don't wanna take chances you may have to cut early and call it a early harvest.
 
I can move it into my garage, and set the lights to come on 12/12, I mean they aren't grow lights but it has to be better than sitting out in this.. no???

nice grow, i used to grow outside in the northeast, we work for our grows
the yellowing looks like normal ripening, that's fine
the cool, wet weather is more of a threat, mold is always a danger
keep your eyes on the long term weather, a light frost is not necessarily a plant killer, lot depends on the spot and how well sheltered it is

Definitely. If you can move it indoors for the nights it would help a ton because thats when your most prone to budrot. However, in the days when it rains that is when I would put it under the lights or in a window. Just if you bring it in at night make sure no light creeps in during its 12 hours of darkness.
