Leaving town...

I'm gonna be going out of town for a week, and I was wondering what to do about watering and such. Where I'm living its not going to be possible to have a friend come over and do it for me. So what can be done so I don't come home to dead plants?

I left town to find a plant with buds all over it that had died and dried prematurely...unless you want a bunch of leaves and airy unmature buds, find a friend, and a real good one at that.

Rigging up a dripper is the only thing i could think of. :peace:

like with a 10 gallon jug that drips very slowly?

In pots outside, But they come in at night.
I figured I'd leave 'em inside though when I leave cause I'm in a back house and I don't want the people in the front to know.

yeah just get some of that small clear aquarium hose and have it coming from the bottom out of a small hole with a small ventilator hole at the top.

if it seems like its dripping slow thats good. it adds up after dripping for hours on end.

Or go buy a real small watre pump at a pet shop or pond store about 15 bucks get some 1/4 hose and a couple drip rings from lowes or homedepot and a 5 buck timer. run the hose from the pump in a small 4 buck 20 gallon rubbermaid tub bewteen 2 rows of plant use a T barb at each plant and connect the soaker ring around each planst pot.Set the timers for like 5 minutes or whatever you like every 2 days with the timer.automatic watering system
