Question about rain

ive never grown outdoors but i plan on it this spring. i just wanted to know how do you guys compensate for rain water? is it bad for your plant? and do you water after it rains

the rain is great if ur plants r strong enough to handle it, it keeps u from having to water as much, but if ur planting in the ground and not in a pot u will have to water quite often since the gound will leech the water out faster than a pot

if i wasnt mistaken, i thought the ground held water longer than a pot?

I'm sure the OP was trying to figure out about torrential downpours, hurricanes and monsoons and how to plan and mitigate that type of rainfall. Yeah, I'm going with that. I mean how else would the rain hurt your plants?

Many people intentionally collect rainwater for their indoor plants. It is typically Ph balanced, and realtively pure, exactly what any plant, cannabis or not, would love.

What questions do you have about rainwater, specifically? Maybe we can help ease your concern over rainstorms. And though I was kind of joking, I've had some storms that nearly destroyed my veggie garden!!! So, it can be a problem.

Not to be a dick, but...

Ever heard of acid rain? Acid rain could be a pH of 4.6 and filled with sulfur.

I'm not saying it can't be used, I'm just saying that it still could need to be pH'd and sent through a filter...

Actually quite familiar with it. I did say TYPICALLY pH balanced and REALTIVELY pure, which is usually the case in less you leave downwind of major cities or major industrial areas. I try not to use absolutes like ALWAYS or NEVER, they typically aren't the case.
I also wasn't trying to overwealm or scare the OP away from rainwater by giving him/her a bunch of what if's. It's fairly easy to test the pH, which is ALWAYS (watch out, I used an absolute) advisable, whether you are using rain water or tap water.

I'll bet he understood that. . .
