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?

When it rains, what do you do?

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.
