Have to leave my hand-watered plants for a week - ideas?

Hi there

I have a couple of nice Deep Chunk hybrids three weeks into flowering.

I'm hand watering every second day, outdoors.

I have to go away for a week which is a drag and am not sure how to water them while I'm away.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Raindrip makes a container drip system kit that does wonders (I had a similar situation two months ago). I used a couple of home depot hose adapters to rig a 5 gallon bucket as a reservoir and let the timer (included in the kit) and gravity take care of the rest.

Some kind of gravity fed drip system, with a very slow drip?

Thanks for the replies.

Raindrip sounds good - I might try and source them here in Australia.

I've also come across Tropf Blumat: https://www.rambridge.com/products/ir...r/tropjr2.html

Hey bongoman

you could hook up a drip system with a digital timer running a pump. if you use a small fountain pump with 1/4 tubbing leading to each plant you could have them perfectly watered while you're away and no expensive drippers or filters needed this way.
