Rain and out door growing

[BigJer]

Somebody told me if you grow outside, when your plants are getting close to harvest (1 to 2 weeks away) to keep them out of direct rain. any thoughts? Here is a pic of a top of one of the girls.

I always thought people who used pots outside rather than planting in the ground, were lazy or stupid. No, during a hard rain or a freeze they can bring the plants in.
Last year I was able to bring in plants before a big freeze, then put them right back outside after.
Simple.

Well, speaking personally, I feel just above a Neanderthal so I am learn-able LOL. I'm just starting out and someone said if I keep them in the wide open during a rain storm can break the crystals down and probably cause mold and rot. 10 x 15 canopy tent solved that. Thank you
