Okay...so rain is coming but aside from that, what is the climate like where you are at?? Is it close to freezing yet?? Like in my area, three days in a row with light frost in the mornings. Are you in a warmer climate?? Without knowing that its virtually impossible to help you answer that. The flowers look kinda small for week 6-7, but if that is the case, then you need two to three weeks to get them done. Depending on what the climate is like in your area you may or may not get them finished. When the flowers are as small as those are...rain wont really hurt them to much BUT when they are huge and heavy to begin with...then yes RAIN SUCKS. Your plants need to be secure to withstand the extra weight that water is going to put on them. I had plants that were topped, litterally split in half or worse, in pieces...one branch at a time stripped away from the main stock. If its not close to freezing in your area, I would wait out the rain. But consider tying the branches to the main stock to support the extra weight that is going to pile on there both from bud growth and rain.

Your still in the 40sF at night and I see it getting close to 70F and high 60sF during the day. Leave it...see if you can eek out another week or two. It will still fatten up. You would be surprised how much punishment cannabis can take. The grow guides say the plants suffer cell damage at temps of 40F or slightly below. I see cannabis defy that thought all the time and I can prove it....I'm doing it right now as I speak....I still have mine outdoors and night temps have dropped to 32F past three nights and they are as perky as when its 50F overnight. A few days of bad weather wont kill them especially if you hit a warming trend...then your going to regret chopping her down if that happens.

Rain sucks, but the nugs are small enough that it shouldnt hurt them much.... even if you do end up with a lil rot, you will benefit more by letting fatten up than pulling them early....

Its always tough to call, but I usually end up sacrificing a little to rot, to end up having fatter heavier nugs.

When they do fatten up... the rain still sucks, but the morning dew is the real killer....

I am just finishing 4 days of rain on the east coast lol and finally some great weather ahead. Leave and check them regularly if possible is what i did. shake them a bit between showers too. I cut out a bit of bud rot but not too much. On a positive note the forecast can only get better right!! Good luck eh!
