Hi, so have 8 girls 4weeks into flower in 10litre pots.
4 each under 600hps hoods. Temps sit between 24-30c lights on. Feed about a litre every 2-3 days to each.

.so I'm away for 6days and can't get to water them.anyone out there been this long n know what affects will come? I have watered them till drain which each took 4-5 litres of water.
Will they survive till I'm back?
I did not read any of the responses but I was hospitalized for 7 days with a mature plant in veg under a 250W floro and 24/0 lighting.
When I returned, it was badly wilted... in the dirt wilted and thought all was lost.
I watered it and it began showing improvement within... wanting to say 3-4 hours and next day could hardly tell anything happened to it.
It happened to this plant... but early on, like 6 weeks into veg.

I got one of those claber Gravity watering systems while I was away for 5-6 days in Amsterdam. Each watering is like 1.2 litres a day split into two. I had it feeding 6 plants and I had to get someone else to give another feed twice whilst I was away.

Since being back I kept it for my remaining 3 plants and it isn't really enough at all. It's a shame really.

Good that they're all still alive!

But i was thinking... they're in 10L pots, thats a bit less than 2.5gal IIRC, and you're only watering them 1L, like a 1/4gal, every 2 to 3 days? Under 600w? That's seems off to me.

I'd imagine they'd need 3-4L, or nearly a gallon, to start running off in a 10L, 2.5gal pot, depending on your medium...

Whats your RH?

Got any pics for us?
