Surviving a solid cold rain

I’m expecting a pretty heavy rain that will last 12 plus hours with temps in the hi 40s(f) and I’m wondering if I’ll be ok to let them go thru it. I really can’t cover them for fear of drawing eyes. It’s to be warm and sunny for several days from there. I don’t have an amber tric to be found so chopping them would be a loss to. Thanks and happy growing

You should be alright, my plants have been through worse this past couple weeks and it's surprisingly better then 60's, 70, and rain.

I should say cool and not really cold after one night of 46. I’m going back to 70/50s with sun after the one heavy rain. I thought about a tarp or plastic but I may as well put a neon sign up and call cops too. My green cover is dying back and I’m getting antsy to harvest.

LOL, I know the feeling but better smoke is worth the wait and possible loss of a couple grams in a worse case. I've had some nasty weather all through flower, tossed a few ounces worth in September, so far maybe an 8th this month even with the rain, low temps, dew and fog(fog's the worst).

As far as your concerns about being spotted, unless someone is right on the edge of your garden looking at your plants, you will be fine.
I was worried about late fall visibility last year too. I am much more relaxed now.

I still got stuff In the garden but it’s getting thin along with the tree line. I figure that big blue tarp may draw attention and I don’t want to look out at 7am and see a bunch of yard sale hunters wandering thru the garden by mistake.

Can you post a pic of it? Would should better how far out you are.
Shake the heck out of the plant after the rain to try and get as much moisture out of the buds as possible. If they are still not close to ripe yet then I would try and ride it out. Really kind of hard to give advice tho without seeing the plant and overall health and buds.

@ganga gurl420, I do shake them out and I’ve got an electric yard blower to use as well. These plants have taken a couple of storms this year but I’m just freaking due to all of these concerns happening in my last few weeks.
@BrewersToker, I guess this is what I get for gloating over that great weather in Sept.
