"DAMAGING EASTERLY WINDS, averaging 60 to 70 km/h with peak gusts of 90 to 100 km/h, are expected to develop within the warning area during Tuesday afternoon and evening."

Might pose a bit of a problem, wet heavy buds and 90-100 k wind gusts, need more cable ties I reckon lol lol

 

[Joe Dirte]

Bloody hell, wishing all of the growing community sunshine and sticky fingers
Bud crisis coming up this year in Oz, everyone will have to do there bit and grow a bit harder over winter to help out in this time of need

 

[Madmick]

Very nice joe ,

 

[Sugar]

Rain's over! Yay! bit of wind would be good now

edit: out shaking branches

 

[itchybro]

bad mistake shaking branches to get the rain off imo sugar
as you shake , water will flick off but more importantly water will travel to the middle of the bud
where its allot harder to evaporate quickly

if you've got shade cloth up no reason why you can't have ag plastic as well or instead of

frosted ag plastic is about 15% shade , over the top you can use 30% shade cloth as well & no one will possibly notice you have anything but shade cloth up

plus adding a box fan to move air can be done cos it'll be protected from rain by the plastic

air movement / wind is the best drying method

Hey Itchy

The buds are already truly drenched down to the center lol and shaking the branches just gets rid of the excess water pooling in the buds so our opinions differ.

My grow preference is outdoor growing with nature as much as possible without covering or needing fans. We all have our preferences.

That ag material sounds good though and you've mentioned it to me before but for me I like the rain to water the girls as much as possible which happens through porous shadecloth as well as the wind and the sun gets through.

Cheers and I hope all is well with you

Hows your inside stuff going mate???

 

[Raniformis]

Why bow your head Bob? No sorry soul actually did a comparison between shaken and non shaken plants. Lol. It's 100% anecdotal.

 

[Porky]

When i see all of you guys and gals with ya nice big outdoor plants i get jealous but when flower hits and yous are losing buds and sometimes whole plants im glad im growing bonsais inside.

 

[afghan bob]

No need 2 get jealous on my outdoor stuff mate, nothing big about it
