Well ive done some searching of the fourms and not found anaything...


To begin this is my first Indoor grow (i have had like 3.5 outdoor gows).

I was wonderign if there was a way to keep the plants moist(water um) while im on spring break? approxamitly 7 days

And thats about it


Thanks

Btw they are in 6-6 pots and under 18-6 floro lights on a timer... so lighting/ temp control is not an issue (ive got it worked out to stay at like 78F all the time

Your best answer lies w/ a drip emmiter.

Search more on drip emmiters on google... or on cannabis.com

Heres a link to hose/emmiter @ The Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/prel80/HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0899238802.1175572220@ @@@&BV_EngineID=cccfaddkiidfilgcgelceffdfgidglm.0&CNTTYPE=PROD_META&CNTKEY=misc/searchResults.jsp&MID=9876&N=2984+5521&pos=n18")

well looking at that made me think harder and would a 3 liter bottle of soda inverted with like 3-4 small holes in tha cap do it?


well im gonna do some expirements and see th right number of holes to make a 3liter soda bottle last like a week

I have one of these and using a RainBird hose splitter you can easily double the number of watering stations to 20...and beyond. The batteries last for more than 6 weeks (the longest I've used it) and can be adjusted for whatever watering time/amount you desire. Hook it up inside the toilet reservoir and you're set for as long as you want!

Then there is the wick system. Ever leave a washrag hung over a sink filled with water? It drains it down to the level of the rag without doing a thing...same principle works for our needs.
