If you are gentle the water will not harm the trichomes, just make sure to dry it out completely with fans after!!!

Haul a watering can out there and hold the buds while you rinse them off. That's what I'd do. (Hold the buds so they don't break off the stems, get knocked on the ground, etc.) Good luck dude. Better to lose a few trichs than the whole damn plant.

either way sounds like u cant do shit about it..mud is all bad and water is too..most likely ur ganna get mold on ur buds now so be careful if u kept some and are trying to smoke it

I haven't got a clue either, so I'll post and follow suit...

You guys are ridiculous. Looks like you guys just turned like 16 or something.

Random thought on the mud:
Are you able to let it dry and maybe crack it off? I guess that depends entirely on mud consistency...but it's worth a shot?

If your ready to harvest. Go for the rinse/soak the water will not hurt your bud/trich's. You could go one more step and water cure.

I have been growing a couple plants and one of them is just about at the harvesting point, but the last week or so it has been raining alot, obviously that means im growing outside in dirt, but anyways now that is has stopped raining i have noticed on some of the bottom branches that there are some brown spots on the buds and when i touch it, it crumbles and falls off the bud. Anyone ever had this problem, is it just mud that got on the plant and when it dried it dried out that part of the bud or is it a fungus?

Need pics but it sounds like you have bud rot..sry man. I suggest harvesting the lower dmg ones and try to make some hash. but if it is mud let it dry and u can gently shake the dirt off. Don't really think there is a fool proof way to save it but thats my option hope I don't get beat..lol j/k everyone needs to go relax :-P Good luck man

You know it rains outside on plants all the time...you could just wait till it rains. Or gently rinse off the buds.
