Hey all, I'm looking for a few idea concerning a need for automating my plants watering cycle for a week or so...

Im growing in dirt, I'll have 2 plants 5-6weeks into flower, 5 in veroom, including 3 auto-flowers that.... in theory will be flowing by then.... (germed 30 days ago, 60day est. time.... no flowering yet)

Not lookin' for anything special, in my mind im seeing a rig of them drip rings and a few air pumps... I only need to get by for 5-7 days while I go to Colorado for... uhh... Easter... :)

Get some 2L soda bottles, fill them up and pierce a very small hole in the side. Sit it on top of your soil and bingo! Ghetto drippers. It worked for me when I had to go away for 5 days.....

take cotton rope and put one end in the pot a few inches in the soil so it won't fall out then put the other end in a pop bottle , fill with water, the plant will drink what it wants..that's the original drip feed system.. soak the 1/4'' or 1/2'' rope in water to get the siphon effect then put the two ends in there place and enjoy your uhh bongsmilieeaster trip.. careful at state lines there getting hot..
