Hi guys,
This is my first post, so I thank you in advance. I have to go on a business trip for work in a few weeks and I am not sure what to do with my garden while I am gone. I will be gone for about 10 days. I have 2 containers that are 5 gallons each in a small closet garden with an LED grow light. At the point when I leave my plants will be in their 4 week of the veg stage. Any ideas, advice, ect. would be much appreciated. Again, I thank you in advance.

if it was I ----i would want to suspend/stop growth while i was gone.1st i would move the light far away.i would then adjust the temps to 65-70 degrees lights on and55-60 lights off.if in soil leave it fairly moist but not wet.no nutes. hum....what have i left out?? o yea PRAY but don't worry for your plants , ten days is a long time gone. or quit your job and stay home,got to draw priorities right?

if these are seedlings then i stand by my prior post .however if they are from clones and veging well than perhaps you could take cuttings and put them in a clone chamber the day before you leave?should root in 10-14 days.

if your in soil which I assume you are then just go to home depot and see what kind of watering bulbs they have or see what they carry along the lines of the previous op. My thought is the glass stick globes. Stick one in each pot and you should be fine for 10 days.

If in soil you picked the wrong department but we will try and help :D
If Hydro then it depends on how fast they have been growing??
How far from your flowering height are you??
How long did you plan on vegging??
Clone or seed??
Without knowing any of that I would say either cut nutes in half, move light further away and pray to the ganja gods. Other alternative would be to put them into flower or previous recomendations.:thumbsup:
