im going on vacation, out of state, about 6 hours by plane, and i wont be home to water my baby. i tried setting up a drip system and ive had nothing but a empty water jug after half an hour, here are pictures of my plants before i go, anyone have some ideas on if i should just kill the lights for 6 days or reduce the time from 12/12 (on/off) to 9/15? or will that not help my cause. they are about 1 week from being done im just starting to see trichs with no scope, and i dont have a scope to check them! any info is appreciated and here is a link to my pics of them, they are about two weeks along farther than the pics, and im going to take some more in the next hour! will they die if i just let them go un-watered for 4-5 days?

you think so? im just worried about them frying before i get home, im gonna flush them before i go :) hopefully that'll leave them wet enough so when i get back they are ready for a final cut!

anyone else have some input on this whole ordeal?

hey fdd, need an answer if ya know. I have 40 plants bout 2 weeks into flowering. there are only 4 that are showing no sign of sex, but the rest that I find it hard to beleive are female, show pistils coming from the flowers, and some under the flowers. so my question is can male plants grow pistals from the flowers like females
Its my first grow, and my first time sexing, so all I have to go by are some crumby links and photos online

Set a timer on a small cheap aquarium pump. Have it set to come on once every other day for 3-5 minutes (judge by testting).Just set your water container up with the pump in it on the timer and a hose into your pots.It will turn on as set for the set time then turn off.Auto watering setup are availiable at homedepot also but cost more.Plants usually show sex 7-10 days in flower.Males can sometimes have similar looking preflower that look similar to hairs but arent fuzzy like female pistal hairs . The males ones look thin and green without the white fuzzy hair look.

i would just flush them now give them a ton of water. and leave it, keep your room at a minimum temp, and higher your light a little.

6 days isnt to bad.

Valron,

If your Trichs are just forming, and clear as rain, then you have more than a week to go.
Lowe's has water pumps from $30-up for you, and the plumbing section has splitters from $1.92-up. Hose is cheap $0.20/ft. Rig something up.

Conversly...How about getting someone to water them for you?

Thanks for the pics. So thats how they look after no water for 6 days? Not bad!

I would like to see what the actual range is before the plants are to dry to recover...?
