Lots of rain on outdoor plant about 10 days before harvest! What to do?

Thanks a lot @JimmiP really appreciating your support. I did have a chance to check her really carefully while dry today, and remove all affected areas as much as humanly reasonable. Of course however, it looks like I will really need to continue doing as such, to be very cautious and avoid any future flare up again.

Sorry if I was not clear. This is a guerilla GROW, not guerilla GLUE strain. The strain is a land race from bag seed, native to Thailand/Laos area (where we are).

Very interesting about the foxtailing @ejsesp she is a 100% Sativa land race as far as I know, so I that might factor into whatever you estimate for the harvest time (also based on the photos)?
Oh, you were clear.. . I was high. And I didn't really read as slowly as I should have. lol.

Good call. I went out and found her totally hunched over but fortunately still in tact.

I tied her to a strong vine and built a canopy for the next day or two. Just praying the buds don't rot and mold from heavy moisture. Will need to keep a close eye on her until Mr. sun returns.
One day my plants got caught in a downpour and I made a raincoat out of a trash bag over my head and ran out and got them inside. I shook the excess water off and put a fan on them on low for a few hours. No harm done but when I went to take closeups of the buds looking for pests, I see A LOT less trichomes. I guess they rinsed off?

Sorry u got 10 days better be careful as got 10 days left for mine
No, mine still have a month or so to go. I'm going on vacation to a family reunion on October 19 so I gotta think of something to do. Either "pick them" early and hang while I'm gone or give all 4 plants that are 3rd week in flower to a friend to water and take care of for me while I'm gone. I'm planning to stay at least a week and a half. Then a 24-hour drive back home. Problem is I have two different friends I could trust to do this for me but neither one of them has sun in their yards. They both happen to live in an area where people didn't cut down trees when they built a house so there's big oak and pecan, etc. trees that are hundreds of years old blocking the sun. Granted they don't need much sun their last couple of weeks of flower. I guess it depends on what they look like in 3 weeks.

O

A small van would suffice?
You're kidding, right? Imma be driving up and down the NC Blue Ridge Parkway and up to Virginia Beach after that to see my grandkids. I'm sure they would love to know what's in the horse trailer. Besides, I don't need a cultivation and transportation charge.
