Rain, Rain

So my plants are into 6th week of flowering ad last night out of nowhere we got some rain and the plants were exposed to heavy rainfall for about 30 min after which i placed them under clear plastic and found that winds threw off all the weight from the plastic and the plants were holding the plastics weight. now rain has stopped and sun came out for a few hours but it can start again by evening. Dont want to try the plastic again as i think it damaged the buds more by laying directly on them.
The rain made all the pistils in to brown..





How much rain can a plant sustain after which it will be ruined.
Pictures for reference
 
Rainwater gets its compositions largely by dissolving particulate materials in the atmosphere (upper troposhere) when droplets of water nucleate on atmospheric particulates, and secondarily by dissolving gasses from the atmosphere. Rainwater compositions vary geographically. In open ocean and coastal areas they have a salt content essentially like that of sea water (same ionic proportions but much more dilute) plus CO2 as bicarbonate anion (acidic pH). Terrestrial rain compositions vary siginificantly from place to place because the regional geology can greatly affect the types of particulates that get added to the atmosphere. Likewise, sources of gaesous acids (SO3, NO2) and bases (NH3) vary as a function of biome factors and anthopogenic land use practices. Each of these gasses can be added in varying proportions from natural and non natural input sources (non-natural sources of SO3 and NO2 far outweigh natural ones). Particulate load to the atmosphere can also be greatly affected by human activities. Finally, local climate (especially the amount of precipitation in one area compared to another) will affect the solute concentrations in terrestrial rainwaters. The result is highly variable compositions, so there isn't one simple formula.
 
You need like a mini carport looking something right something to keep the rain off but let air in on the sides like a ez up tent with your clear plastic on it but you definitely need airflow

Excellent info 3fingerdsean lucky where I'm at there's enough cow shit in the rain water the plants love to drink it haha
