Hey guys,

Gonna try and make this as quick and easy to understand as possible so y'all will read it through (Please read lol).

Background:

Just finished my first grow, I did aeroponic autoflower plants, 2 of them, just to try my hand at growing and get kicked in the nuts a few times so I know what I'm doing for my next summertime larger grow (I did mess up the PH of my reservoir 4th week in, it stunted the growth pretty bad, but the whole point was to start small and figure out the basics), live and learn.

I have a dilemma.

Dilemma:

I'm starting 4 Autoflower plants for indoor grow as well as transplanting 5 feminized photo period seedlings outside on June 1st (I live in Northern New England)

*****My first grow Autoflower is just about to be harvested in two weeks or so.
- Now I'm going on VACATION on may 10th with my fiancee to Disney world for 6 DAYS

******* I have from the time I harvest my almost complete Autoflower in two weeks until I leave for vacation May 10th and I REALLY would rather not waste almost 3 full weeks without anything growing. In the time I have been growing these last months ive done plenty of research about soil methods for outside.

*****I am going to plant my 5 outdoor plants INDOORS first in about two weeks from today (April 7th) in soil seed starter cups with humidity dome.

I'm guessing by the time I go to FL the plants will be maybe a foot tall if that, around that time I will be transplanting into a larger 3-5 gallon pot each plant.

**WHAT CAN I DO WITH MY (5) 2 WEEK OLD SEEDLING TRANSPLANTS WHILE I AM GONE? (I cant use my grow box because its not the safest fire hazard out there so I cannot set my light timer while gone).

Since its april-early may the sun still gives off a lot of 6500k cool light correct? Since I need to begind acclimating the photo plants for outside anyways could I get away with just leaving them in front of a large window for the 6 days? I also have a bathroom with a big skylight and allows the room to be filled with light for at least half the day if not more.

*I am having my fiancees mom take care of the 4 indoor Autoflower plants during the vacation days, the plan is to have a 4 auto harvest in late July as well as a nice big outdoor harvest in late Sept (personal smoke, my fiancee and I are just getting settled into our career salary positions and moving away)

*Even though you aren't supposed to start photo period outdoor plants til very late may-early June, if I start them, say now, that will just mean I get to veg them a little longer because 2700k warm light doesn't start til mid summer anyways correct?

Any insight would mean the world, just try to keep it low budget I cant be getting involved with drip systems and blasting through cash on some setup, maybe just place the outdoor pots on top or in the bathroom with the bathtub full for humidity and the skylight to allow for a good amount of all day light? It's only 6 days but I dont wanna spend all the money on seeds and try to get a head start and come home to dead plants lol.

Also off topic, what week of veg on photo periods can itake a clone?

****** Any Ideas for resilient photo plants that would do well in Northern New England and maybe finish mid sept or so? looking for higher yield and decent THC. It doesn't have to be mind blowing g13 trump bleached asshole haze or anything you know? lol

Thanks for reading guys your the best! and here is a pic of my 7 week old NYC DIesel X Ryder #2

PS. I have to use Attitude Seed Bank, starting to build some return customer points lol and what I have to spend allows for an april promo that gives me a bunch of free seeds for spending over 60$ shipping always gets ya tho lol they gotta throw one of those in after like 3 purchases THANKS FOR THE HELP!
 
Don't use humidity domes after they sprout as it significantly increases risk of damping off. Transplant them to larger containers right before you leave and one good soak will take care of their water needs. Put them in the best light you can find and leave a 100W light bulb on near them 24/7 if you are concerned about flowering prematurely. Good luck.
 
m3d1c1n, appreciate it dickhead. Its more in depth than a simple yes no, and there's more than one question in the post, lazy uneducated fool.

Bugeye, thanks so much for your post that really helps man. They are the photo plants that I'm keeping in the window so would they flower prematurely?, they will be in there 2nd week of growth by the time I leave. So will putting 100w 6500k lights around it (not hanging above) for 24/7 a good thing with photoperiod plants? I thought that was just autoflowers that could do that. I have a glass sliding door that gets at least 8 hour of direct sunlight, so I'll put them over there and keep a few 6500k cfls on in close proximity?
 
I'm honestly not sure if a 2 week old plant is capable of flowering. I seem to remember reading they need to show their sex before they are mature enough to flower, but I have no personal experience flowering that early. Better safe than sorry. It takes very little light to keep them in veg. Have fun on your trip!
