Hi
Im about to start growing my first grow and i have got all the equipment i need apart from nutrients (if anyone knows some good nutes which i can get in the UK please tell me).
The only aspect of my grow that i havnt considered and have become a bit stuck on is what i do when on holiday? How do i water them?
I have heard of capillary matting and was wondering how it would work and how much water would a 2ft plant need for about 8 days? I am doing a cupboard grow, veg room has a 250w cfl (blue) with a 50cfm computer fan blowing on the plants and there will be passive intake and out-take. The flower cab will have a 400w hps and has a 5" RVK fan extracting heat from next to the light out the cab and a passive intake. Will have about 4-6 plants in each cupboard. Any tips please tell me and im growing 5 fem Barneys LSD and 1 Dinafem blue hash and one cali hash both fem. Do you reckon i should germ all 7 knowing that i can grow a max of 6 incase one herms or doesnt germ?
and of course the main question im looking at is how to water while on holiday!!
 
well depending on how long you are on holiday you cpud water them right before you leave, or you oculd get a pump and hook it up to a time and put it in a huge bucket of water and run little hoses to each one of your plants and have it pump the water each day or hawever oftem you may want to water them. make sure you try it whill your there so you can see how long it has to tun to get your desired amount of water.
 
Hey Freddie, whats with the username??

Just curious because I am a huge University of Alabama football fan, and they had an awesome linebacker by that name? I am pretty sure that the boxer Oscar de la Hoya's trainer is named Freddie Roach...is your username because either one of them or what? just curious... did a double take when I saw that name.
 
Mates a college call me it cause i like to roll king L's with a long (2-2.5cm) roach. This makes it less hot and less harsh and easier to hold. Im pretty sure its not related to anyone else just somthin that was picked up.

Thanks dopey for the advice, i was thinking of doing the pump but im not sure ill have room for a bucket as it is a stealth grow and also i dont really want to spend any more money, i looked at capillary matting cause it was cheap and effective.

Please keep posting as im sure loads of people will be wondering the same thing.
