Getting fearful of the weather. Crop early and get something?

So here on the west coast of British Columbia, we are getting hammered with rain thats supposed to last till Thursday next week. we've had about 50mm(2 inches) of rain this past 24 hours and expecting another 100mm by tomorrow night. and I'm assuming light rain till Thursday. There is a decent breeze, so the Lean-to i have is covered and ventilated very well, but I don't have power to it so no fans are available.

I'm pretty scared of bud rot, I had a small amount(4-5) of calyx's brownout on one bud about a week ago so I removed the whole section thinking it was bud rot but nothing returned so I continued. but now we're getting just fucked by rain. should I keep her in the Lean-to to protect it from rain, or should I just crop out now and have some prime bud? I don't know...

the plant is only 30 days into flower.. so its not even close to ripe...

In my experience cropping early is what the future you wishes the present you did.
Yeah pics would be nice... If they're wet and your in for another 5 days then that'll do er bud.

It’s nowhere near done but with that site removal and the stem damage I think it’s time to cut her the rain will be the end of her .its probably so in ripe it won’t even get me high lol.. fuck this wet weather .816D60EA-BE75-4567-89B5-9B666EE7872F.jpeg 49A7995A-4FCD-49FB-A410-BA479B84CF12.jpeg

Keep a close eye and ride it out. Personally, I’d rather harvest half of a mature plant than cut prematurely. You will be very disappointed with the smoke from that plant at its current age.
Oh yeah, I'm aware of how trash it will be if I chop it now. I had a look at her this morning. and I think my cover lean-to is working.. lots of air exchange. I think ill ride it out. we shall see oof. the nerves

Van isle. Here. Already took 1/3 of a plant to the compost pile due to mold. I'm going to ride her out. Rather have 1/4 plant of decent maturish bud than 2/3 plant of sub par early flowers. I can check my girls day and night, if any harsh advancement of the mold she'll come down. 2 other plants not affected or just a few spots.

I'm fairly positive my plants would be garbage by now if I didn't take them inside when the weather is bad. Two days ago it was raining, yesterday was beautiful, this morning I had to secure the pots down to the deck because they kept blowing over, until it got so bad they were bending sideways and I brought them inside. It's to the point they are producing nice puffy aromatic buds, I would be extremely upset if something happened to them. If they were larger and I weren't able to bring them inside I would make some type of enclosure.

Mid van isle. Everyone is having issues with this garbage weather. I put my giant 4 in a green house to try and avoid them getting wet but its been so humid this summer they cant get a break. Fighting PM and now worrying about bud rot. I still have 3-4 weeks to go on my girls

Those are way too early to chop. Chop now and get stuff that smells like hay and doesn't get you high.
