doob, Im not worried about the no watering for the soil plants. if I give them a good soaking they will go 2-3 days without water (but they are small pots).

what I am worried about are the 2 18 gallon deep water culture hydroponic setups. I can BARELY (read barely) lift 15 gallons of water and I dont want 30 gallons of water sloshing around in my trunk. But I dont want no water because then the roots will dry out.

I am just trying to figure out the best way to transport everything with the least amount of stress on the plants. The hydro plants have seen a LOT of abuse in the last few weeks before they got under my care, so I want to be extra careful. Last, Im not worried about police. Even if I do get pulled over for some incredibly random reason, I am medical and allowed to transport more plants then this even.
