Forgot to mention- it was a Bush Katydid Nymph, so I had to treat with cayenne spray again. No mo bugs after that

Everything is looking really sweet there. Great flower production. Keep up the good work and you'll have a bountiful harvest!
What's your recipe for the cayenne spray?

Thanks for the encouragement Shed!
My cayenne spray is really simple and is the best I've found.
Mix 2tbsp of cayenne powder with 1tbsp of organic minced garlic in a bowl. Mix it up really good and pour the paste mixture on to cheese cloth and tie it up. Then I put that into a pitcher with a 1/2 gallon of r/o or purified water and let it steep overnight. Use latex gloves to pull out the cheese cloth bag and squeeze it gently before throwing it away. After that add a few drops of unscented dish soap to the mixture, you can also add 1tbsp of neem oil at this point if you like, gently stir the mixture for about a minute. Then grab an empty spray bottle and transfer the mixture and you're good to go. The spray will stay good for about two weeks or so, longer if it's kept cool. Shit smells like vampire poison but it works like a charm.

The cheese cloth part is important because the cayenne and garlic will stop up most spray bottles nozzles. I must have gone through three sprayers before someone told me to use the cheese cloth and steep it like tea
Thanks! I will def be giving this a go for my next grow. Have to buy cheesecloth tho!

How much is "too much rain"? Forecast looks dark and dreary for the next 10 days or so. As long as there aren't any high winds or hail, I doubt I'll cover her up, but at the end of the day I guess I can't do much about the rain.
Just worried about mold and mildew at this point.
She keeps producing a crazy amount of new leaf growth near bus sites and I find myself pulling old growth off just about every day.
Also, should I be keeping the leaves that I cull for extracts?
My wife has already claimed 25% of dry weight for cooking purposes, just didn't know if these older yellowing leaves are worth saving.
Thanks y'all!

Dunno much about growing in the rain but I'm sure you can find grow journals that dealt with that, or maybe even a youtube vid or two. I would guess that if rain is followed by sun you're ok, but if rain is followed by damp you should worry about mold. Since it's not a huge plant (or 10 of them!) maybe a makeshift canopy might not be a bad idea. A 1x3 frame and a bit of plastic?
I didn't save any yellow fans but I have saved everything green I took off the plant. Fans, micro-buds, and stems all went into one bag for lotion. For edibles you probably just want sugar.

It's been holding up so far, today was beautiful - mid 80s with a northern breeze. Weather folks pushed back the rain a few days.

The rain finally came..... 5" in one night with more to come. Is this considered aquaponics lol?
Holy moly...a mid grow change to hydro! Not sure how long that water normally stays as a puddle, but you may want to siphon out that ditch if it doesn't drain soon 
Also, put on your wellies and shake as much water as you can off those branches.

Dude, not sure if it's just the rain but when I checked on her his morning about 15% of the leaves have yellowed. See pics of before & after.
She's still producing along and it doesn't seem to be effected too bad. Hoping she will wrap it up mid to late September, but we'll see.

That yellowing is interesting because it's the same thing I see after I flush late in flowering. Could be that all that water acted like a flush and took the nutrients out of the soil in that area. Could also just be overwatering, which can happen even outdoors when the plant is sitting in a depression like that with heavy rains. Once it dries out you should make sure that she gets a good dose of nutes to replenish what got washed away.
Flowers are looking good though and the trichs looks like they're coming along nicely!
