Very good idea, Mashedguy.

I'd say that a 3 gallon pot with a 1 1/2 foot tall plant, would be fine just to flood it before you leave.

Have a good trip.

If I am going away for 5 days during the veg stage... if I over water before I go, cut back on the lighting (to prevent drying out) and or cover the soil with plastic wrap, will the plant be okay for that time? It is a very healthy plant. Any tricks or tips appreciated Thanks Rating: 5
