Leaving my plants for a week each month? Will they be fine?

is it possible to leave 4 plants unattended for a week out of each month?

I figure with timers on the lights(LED low heat), ventilation and watering this might be okay?

Thanks much!!

It can be done but as stated above things break and your screwed... I did 2 weeks once and will do it again soon for work... Large res, pumps etc... But after 2 weeks Nutes are gone (hydro), PH rises... The ladies are hurting.... Prob not the best idea but has been done....

Not a good idea specially is there in flowering cycle. Maybe 4 days maximum in a vegetation cycle ;)
definatley would not leave them for more than 3 days in the flowering cycle. with good airy soil and efficient ventilation the roots on a well established plant should need watering once every 3-4 days.

then there are MANY other factors you have to take into account. lights blowing, ballast saftey, timers going, and ventilation problems. any of those over 2-3 days can seriously damage plants and harm bud development. if it was a hydro grow that was set up for long term stability you COULD do it, but it would be hard and you would have to have everything almost perfect to actually pull it off......

Right on, thanks for the responses! Since I am a first time grower I think I'll take your words of caution and not attempt this one on my own.
A friend check on them a few times during the week i suppose.
This would be attempting a first successful grow (HAH), thanks for saving me some $$$
Until then KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS :)
