transplant to keep dry?

so i have one of my medical plants in a raised bed. which is 50% covered by the eve of the roof on my house. it is nearing 6.5' tall and about 3' around. the rain came this weekend and i had to tie it up and shake it off. no biggie.

i set up a makeshift greenhouse for the others that i had in pots, out of an easy-up some tarps for the walls and clear plastic for the top. the others are doing well and staying dry under the easy up on my deck. this also provided extra protection so my neighbors cannot see them by just looking over the fence. there is room for the big girl left in the rain. and there is more rain scheduled for next weekend. (the rain came early this year, last year it didn't rain till after halloween)

my plants (permafrost) are about 25-30 days away from done. near the Cali/oregon border.

so my question is should i leave the big girl out in the rain in the raised bed where it has been since june (cons: possible mold, neighbors can see her; pros: not transplanting). or dig her up and put her in a pot and put in the greenhouse on my deck, (pros: protection from the future rains and neighbors eyes; cons: having to transplant at day 30)?

thanks. if i transplant her i tend to dig up as much soil as i can and be as gentile as i can and use some B1 or other suggested anti-shock additive.

with it that big and established and also being in flowering with a month left its going to be impossible to not shock it or at least set it back if you do try i would hit it with a dose of b1 or i like fox farms big bloom and try and be gentle the first couple days if you do decide to try it. good luck and just hope the best
