r+: CASTAWAY, How long before a plant dies of thirst?

hey guys.

i have a water pump ( in a 5 gallon reseviour filled with nutrients in the water) which is attached to a digital timer, this would turn on for 1 min a day, every other day. The hose breaks off into three seperate hoses, one to each plant's pot.

i know eventually the water will run out. How long can plants usually live (when in first week of flowering) if they are quite big? How long ON AVERAGE can a plant survive from the moment you water it, to the moment it dies of dehydration?

i thought a week, is that true?

This is a weird question. Are you stoned or leaving for a while? Plants consume quite a bit more during flowering.

lol i knew you'd ask that.

im away at the moment, i just cant manage to get an earlier flight back home... leaving the 7th of jan for home... im predicting the gallon to be consumed by the 2nd-ish

I have never let them go for more than a couple days so I dont know how long they will last. Mary is a very resiliant plant and will probably bounce back after a week of no water.
