It's not likely to rain much here during the summer and most likely we'll get maybe 1 or 2 times of some showers until October so my question is, I have a BD clone that I just transplanted and it's about 8" tall right now and of course on a strict water diet but if it rains, should I leave it out or cover it? I'm guessing covering it but then I could be wrong?

Well yes in flower i stick them under a ez up canopy or i take them into green house and will super crop/ bend the branches so they'll fit. These things we take into consideration for us rec. growers in Oregon, rain is murder on buds.Smoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

I leave mine out during veg and they seem to love it as long as they have ample drainage. During flower and bud they really should be protected. Broken branches can result when those buds get soaked.Comment

For now I am still old school, they stay out in the rain (I cant move them), I plan around it as best I can.Comment

SoOrbudgal Yes and I am sure they have grown roots out the bottom of the "pots", I'll tune up the chainsaw!

I wonder does THC breakdown with rainfall hitting the buds? Essentially washing it away?"Knowledge is the one gift that cannot be taken away, for its value only grows with time."

That's a great question. I guess it would require a little sleuthing. I don't have a camera on my microscope but if someone does it would cool to take a picture of a trichome encrusted bud before being hit with some water spray and after, then compare the 2 shots to see if there's any significant loss. -
The general thought is no it does not, however IMHO it does affect taste and aroma if harvested to soon after a rain. I tried this last year, I harvested part of a Rusty Glue between rains, and the rest after setting in sunshine for a few days. The result was the rainy day bud has a darker colour, the affects are the same on both.
