Watering suggestion
So i have to go out of town [im only goin an hour away from my plants] but ill be gone for about a week. I have a timer for the light so thats not an issue BUT how im gunna get it watered is. Plants are at least 1/2 through flower and i was just wondering if i soak the soil before i leave, how bad would my plant suffer without water for a week?...and does anyone have a suggestion on how i could water it without being here cuz id rather not drive an hour here n back just to water the plant [tho i guess itd be worth it in the end]

well if you want to spent a couple dollars, you can do wat i usto do, take a 5 gallon container and a water pump, and drop the water pump in the container and run a tube from the pump to your pants and, put the pump on a timer to go on for 3-10 mins depending on the pump and your set

btw i wouldnt soak the soil and leave them for a week, think it would dry up very quickly

Can they go a week without water? Mine in soil can. If not then no, don't leave them unwatered. You could do a cheap Mcgyver type water drip thingee. Hang a gallon container above your plant, and poke a very small hole in the bottom. You can control the drip speed by tightening or loosening the cap on top. You could have it off to the side if you put a grommet in the jug and run a 1/4" hose to the plants or something.
Just use a drip system for a week.

Well away from them right now, i soaked them before i left [its a litttttle colder then in the 80s becuz i use the outside air and its pretty cold outside] so the water wont evap. that quickly but that drip system is a good idea, i figure with the amt i put in i should be good for at least 2 maybe even push 3 days, then imma go back to them mid week [wed] resoak em again and setup a ghetto drip system for the last couple days ill be away.

Looks like you got it licked. If you could post a picture of what you figured out for the ghetto drip, that would be cool. It might just help some others out as well.
