watering a plant while gone

[NorCal Grown]

If you really are to poor to buy a $20 timer...... maybe this is the wrong "hobby" for you. I made a decision grow. I didn't grow until I could buy the correct/safe parts to do it. One other thing I would like to point out to "poor" growers, what if you get caught?? I put aside a pretty sizeable amount of money to pay for lawyer frees and lost time at work if I get busted. Something to think about.

Oh, one other thing more on the topic. Turn your heat way down. If your house is pretty cold(~45F), the plants will slow their use of water/nutes.

One more thing, on the cheap. You don't "need" a pump, gravity has never failed..... remember gravity?? Water tub on a stand, with a drip line glued in the bottom. $10 tops. :thumbsup:

i think ill go with the wick system or your 'gravity drip' seems like it would work well. as far as money im saving for a small hps right now, so im fine with going ghetto on things. ( i am a 'strapped college student')

for the timer, is it just like an outlet timer or what?

thanks for feedback

This looks like a killer little light for a budget grow...... looks like it would be easy to air cool too. Cheap Hydroponics - Discount Hydroponic Supplies, Grow Lights, Hydroponic Fertilizers, and much more - Sunleaves Pulsar Mini 250w Switchable System Complete (Powered by CubeCart)

maybe try transplaning into a bigger pot and then water the hell out of it with a tray on the bottom might last for 5 days or so

update: she survived and looked great. also starting to get hairy, but i need more lights on her. i got a canon for christmas but it randomly stopped working last week so no pics, sorry.

heres 2 quick shots from a couple days ago. i had to use my broken sony but theyre decent.

its bagseed but if i was to guess a strain, id say sweet tooth related.


also got a question on cloning but im trying to google it

[klup]

well shes about 3-4 weeks from harvest and starting to fill out quite nice. i have taken 5 clones and a small branch broke about a week ago, so im trying to save it. i have 3 42w 27k, plus 2 26 watters, one 65k and one 27k. the main cola is pretty dense but i think it might have hermied from light leaks.

PLEASE FUCKING READ AND HELP

i plucked two possible bananas(more so they ripped and they had little strands in them, so maybe calyxes??) and now i see more on the cola. the lower branches are just starting to get real resinous and the hairs forming true buds. i looked at some of the buds and they have these little 'spikes' with 2 hairs popping out like the ones i ripped from the main cola.

im hoping im just overreacting to the calyxes but i know it could easily be hermie. need some help friends PLEASE
