Follow up question:

I have to go out of town in about a month. I'll be gone for about a week. That should be about the time I put it on a 12-12 cycle, which shouldn't be too tough to do by just placing the plant next to a window. I'm concerned, however, that I won't be able to water the plant during this time.

If I'm away from the plant for almost a week, will it die?
