It's raining

[louis]

Gah! Florida is having a rainy season, my plants are getting rained on for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours a day, heavy rain. What's more, they're not in the ground, they're in pots. Are they drowning?

If you have very good drainage in the pots...I would not worry too much.
You can put something over the tops of the pots to limit the water going in if its really bad.

yeah, like an anti funnel to run the water away from the pots, that should do the job. Or, sing 'rain rain go away, come back another day'

Are these indoor or outdoor plants? I'm confused, since this is in the indoor forum.

My bad. Wrong forum. They're outdoor.

Must be your new harvest MOM.. :bong2: I'm convinced this is the outdoor section

Any how as they all say above cover the pots.. Rain water in sensible quantaties is good however..

It pours down here from time to time and mine seem to be ok.

i'm getting rained on too, last year i harvested late october but the rain is coming in a little early this year. and i think it'll be too much rain to just shake off every morning.

i'm harvesting a little early this season due to change in weather. any way to tell when theyre ready w/out a 30-60x magnification?

and if not, where can i find a magnifying glass that size, locally?
rite-aid, wal-mart, home depot, where?

lastly, i'm a little familiar w/ native americans practicing "rain dance" rituals. any information to a stop-raining dance?

if the pots have good drainage the rain will not hurt anything at all if they dont drain well you will end up getting in trouble in this case get some drain holes gone on in the bottom of them pots

good call mutt,, anyway yeah mutts right just make sure you have good drainage,, chances are also that if your plants are big and mature your leaves and plant itself is stopping alot of water from going in ,, i bet theirs not as much water going into the pot as you think,, i would go out to my plants after a couple hours of rain and find that they still needed watering,, and if you are worried about it you could cover them up with ceran wrap cuz it clings tieght and you could put a brand in their so that the water will run off instead of fillin up the pot ,, i would definatly be saving some of that rain water,, anyway good luck with everything, and hope this helps

Rain is not bad for your plants. Yes some buds will mold but just because its raining doesn`t mean your plants are going to all mold and die. Slim
