Are you religious? Because short of praying, I don't see what you could do without purchasing anything. :jointsmile:

No seriously though, I don't have much info... but people are going to want to know things like:

How far along are they?
Soil/Hydro?
Indoor/Outdoor?
Are you good at building?
Have access to junk/scrap?
Do you own tools?
Do you have a friend/family member you trust?
Also, how important is this potential crop to you?
-this will help contributors know how involved and in-depth their suggestions should be.

Hope that helped. Stay and Keep :jointsmile:

They are about four days along, but my second and third trips are a ways away and I need to know what to do then, also i'm growing from seed right out of soil, just two plants for scrog, but the crop is reasonably important to me because one allready failed for teh same reason. I also will purchase stuff, but low cost would be best

Let them go put em outside... Thats it put em outside till you come home. Will not cost you a DIME... You owe me some bud for some good advice...

Good Luck GL

can't put them outside, but can someone give me a link or explain ow to do the soda bottle thing to drip water plants? thansk you guys for the input though

You take a 1/4 inch drip nozzel with a gallon container. You pop it in at the bottom of course and silicone around the area were you drilled. Then just set it for a tiny tiny drip probably will last 3-4 days....

Good Luck GL

Thanks, where do i get a drip nozzle?

you can make one out of the cap of a soda bottle. Just take the cap off, make a very small hole (like pin sized) in it and screw it back on tight. Then you upturn the bottle so the cap is at the bottom and you can attach some sort of hose over the cap to take the drips to where they need to go. It's best to test the amount of time this lasts for before you go (a larger bottle/small hole might be needed).

PS. If you dont want all the water to evaporate, best to dig the hose into the soil a little bit (like 1/4 inch) so that the water goes straight into the soil and not through the air.
