Its gonna be at least 95 degrees though in 8-9 hours of direct sunlight in smartpots... 36 hours w/o water and they wilt

Maybe a timer and water pump? Mon does not go on vacation until Mon harvest, too much to lose and when Mon goes on vacation Mon has no worrys and lots of tasty buds.

sucks you dont have someone you trust to water them... had father in law do it last year and without that they would have died...

if you need water daily now... you might be able to go 2-3 days with some repairable damage.. any longer it's gonna be bad..

I wanted to set up like a gravity barrel drip system but it was never done.. have you looked into that?

eta.. shit I thought you were going away for over a week..

milk jugs etc..

Soak'em good before u go, then use a milk jug with small hole, should be fine. I thought you were in 10 gal smart pots, nice size plant for 5 gal.One more thing, did you see the Patriots, wow they looked good, go Pats..........colts look good too, they will get it together for some wins this year.

Can you water heavy and then place them in some sort of saucer and fill that up with water and let it leech from there? Should be good for a couple of days.

Water good rite before you leave and cover soil with plastic to prevent evaporation place pie plate or shallow dish under s.p. With 1 or 2 inch of water

Cowgirls...haha, I didn't think they still had any fans left. We're probably all wrong, the broncos probably gonna win it this year. Then the colts owner is gonna shoot himself for letting manning go.

Sup Dyna, yea imma just water them with an extra gallon of water each and stick a couple water bottles with holes in em into the soil...and yea man only 5 gal but theyre Smartpots, the way it prunes the roots and provides oxygen it works well...theyll be fine, i decided im coming home early Sunday morning because i want to see all the football games lol....but Yea man the Pats D is looking revved up, i got the Gronk on my fantasy team and he smashed too haha and man hopefully Luck improves but it was a tough opponent, well see how he progresses.
