Tomato sleeves
Grazzlordstarted grow question 3 months ago
Hi all
Just a quick question. I've got a few ladies standing in the rain.
That makes me a sad panda cause they could rot... then yesterday i saw a tomatosleeve which is a piece of plastic whit breathing holes in them (lots).
How do guys think about that?

I agree with Scrubbyjimbob, a plastic condom over the plant would increase RH and prevent airflow.
even a umbrellia on a steak in the ground would be better then just take it in when its not raining lol.

With a little pvc piping and a plastic painter's drop cloth you can also do a DIY hoop house.

I would worry about trapping moisture against your plant, promoting the mold/rot that you're trying to prevent. You can shake the limbs of your plants after a heavy rain/dew to help dry it off some. If you're late into flower you could try some type of canopy. I just wouldn't want anything actually touching the plant.
