Im about to start my next grow, but I will be away for 3 days when they are about 5 weeks old and im afraid that when i come back, theyl be dead. Im growing indoors hydro. I hav a 250w mh over a megagarden with 5 plants. i figured if i put everything i dont usually hav on timers on timers(fans), then i shud be ok and ill top off the resevoir before i leave. Any suggestions? anybody out there hav2 do this?

use timers. Make sure the lights are high enough to not worry about heat.

3 days is not a lot of time to have to worry about imo.

i was worried about this also was away wednesday till today.and i had awful visions of coming home to dead plants but it didnt happen slight wilting due too them needing water but thats it.a wee tip for you try and not water until the day you leave and then give them a good drink and that should keep them ticking over.

oh yea, i forgot to mention that. Ill probly put the light 1.5ft above the tops. I dont think that will stretch the plants nor will the plant get burned.

I left my plants alone for five days, water them nicely before i left. came back to plants that were twice as big as when I left. they were fine.
