on average how long does it take after a flush for the soil to dry for you guys?
im going on a 1 week vacation in 2 days and i got 3 outdoor plants on my window sill, im thinking of just moving them to bigger pots and overwatering/flushing and hoping they stay alive for a week

I dont have the time to make a drip system, and there is no space to put it on my window sill and i just cant be arsed to do it right now. this grow doesnt really mean much to me its just some bagseed

It mainly depends on the plants size, and the size of the bucket.

A large root system will dry pots faster than those with smaller root systems.

Large buckets also stay moist longer than small buckets.

Good drainage is important, especially while flushing.

I've had 2.5gal of soil in a 5gal bucket stay wet for 6 or 7 days after a flush.

He's right on the money.
It totally depends on room or environmental circumstances.
HEAT! being the main variable.
Humidity
Pot size, root structure, plant size.
Drainage, pot meduim, density of soil, and soil make up.
For me? about 3 and half days.
