What Nutrients and Supplements are in Rain?
I know this is kind of a dumb question, I think the earth was green long before general hydroponics went to business but..
Its been raining a lot lately seems like it mostly on my scheduled feed dates and I don't want to over water in soil or that is what I am told, but I would sure like to get some flowering nutrients to outside plants for a nice finish in Sept.
Should I water with feed anyway or wait until they dry out a bit more, its not soupy but they dont pass the knuckle test for to dry
They look good but they seem to grow a lot slower in soil than in hydro.

I Was having the same problem here this year. Just to much rain, to many days in a row. I Used a good Top Dressing of worm castings. That seemed to do the trick, without adding more water to the mix.

Worm castings have a lot of N in them right?

Yes it does.... I see now, that you are wanting to get some flowering nutes in. It is finally drying out here , after what I call monsoon season. I think you could add some anyways. I went out to check the girls after about 8-9 days of pounding rain, and all they did was Grow!! Good luck on your OD grow!!

It was worse 2 years ago, people all over the country were losing buds to bud rot, That sent a lot of us back inside.

Smiley's on the right track CPW . Find a granular bloom fert, like a 4-8-8, add a couple tablespoons around the base of the plant and aerify with a probe of some type. A good aerifying will also help the plant breathe and dry out. If it doesn't rain for a few days, water in the fert when needed. This can be done every 2-3 weeks during flower. BTW... you can add liquid bloom boosters too, like Kool Bloom, Bloombastic, or whatever you use.

"Less is Best" If you're talkin about Jacks water soluble, dry blue stuff, that's not for dry applications. Be careful .
