Recurculating DWC that tops off automatically. Blaze changes out his solution every week but you could go 2-3 w/ no problems.
Oasis Automatic Watering System

You could put them in some larger pots, that will hold more soil. Or you can put water wicks in each of them and let them self water. I am assuming you are doing a soil grow? Right. Cause with hydro, you could leave them for a week. Although I don't know how if you've got to adjust ph everyday.
that oasis autop watering system would be fucking perfect but the thing is i dont have that much dough. So do any of you know where i can get a cheaper one of those????
Just buy a pump and a timer, attach a pe hose to it and perforate it with little hole witch you use to connect little pe tubes too. All availeble at a better hardware store. I think it's cheaper

The link to the pic..
buy a fountain pump or water pump... get some plastic transparent or that black film base tubing that fits the pump.. get a couple y valves and add on till you can have a tube for each plant.. tape them to a pencil that you can stick into the ground/soil/growcube/... get a bucket for the pump and fill the bucket with water and place the pump into the bucket with everything connected.. turn it on and it'll do its job..
if you want it to water automatically, get a timer socket as well..
total i'd say u'd b payin about $42
$20 for the pump, maybe 15
$10 for the tubing
$7 for the valves
$5 for the timer..
well that sounds like a perfect plan to me ...another thing how do i regulate how much water is used each watering since i wont be here....Do i need to regulate i dont want to drown them or flood my box(they use about a gallon of water every feeding) and i will be gone for a 7 days total
