hey guys I got an issue I'm working out of town been gone 2 weeks might possibly be gone another 2. My issue is my plants are growing outside in 5 gallon buckets I've been having my buddy taking care of them while I'm gone but he left for Alaska last night and won't be there to take care of them. I've had them in a tent but a strong wind 2 days ago tore it down. My buddy didn't get a chance to put it back up and were suppose to get about 6 inches of rain between wed-Friday should I worry about them or will they be fine?

It's a tent like indoor growers use? Or a greenhouse? Either way rain won't hurt them. I'm thinking you must have taken them out of the tent now? Tent resting on them would do most damage.

Unless you were doing a light dep I'd up pot them or dig some big holes and put them in the ground. Season has just started and 5 gal is pretty small. You will have to water daily and feed more often in 5s. Not to mention small harvest.

Then again I don't quite know if you were doing light dep or these were going full season? As far as the wind it will make them look a little wanky for a day but a nice sunny day and they will be stronger for it.
