one of my outdoor girls is just about ready and just needs about a week more. if it rains during that week, what r some problems i can face ? i am also judging if she is ready by looking at the brown hairs, i read somewhere that if 75% or more are brown, then it should be just about ready for harvest. how accurate is this method ?
Rain water i don't think will harm any thing.Some growers spray distilled water on the buds before harvest.Rain water should be fine.
Only problem you may face is a muddy harvest. the brown hair method is a good way to gauge progress and 75% is the magic number. only better way to do it is to get a microscope and check out the trichomes. I stole this pic from rumple's post on harvesting.
