Ok,
Here goes, I have posted questions about this before and have gotten some good advice so hear is what I plan on doing please read this and comment if you can. I will be leaving my one five gallon bubble bucket for about 8 to 10 days. Here is how I plan to do that.

I am switching my one plant bubble bucket to a 35 gallon rubbermaid container

the one plant is about 30 days into flower (white satin so I am expecting 60-65 days total flower)

she drinks about a gallon and a half of water a day

I typically keep the nutes a 1300 @7

and the 400 watt hps and 4 200watt cfls about 1 to 1 1/2 foot away from the top of the canopy

she is about 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall (no topping or training on this one as it was my first hydro and I did not know if it would work for me... by the way it is working beautifully)

So, I was going to fill the container and use 25% the normal amount of nutes, and then move the lights up to 2 to 2 1/2 feet away.

My concerns are

1. does this nute load sound correct?
2. will the lights be far enough away, as I don't won't to come home to a pile of ashes.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated, I hate to leave at this critical time but I must.

Thanks

That sounds just great, you've obviously thought of what your plants will need, and what could go wrong, so as long as you've taken care of that, your plants will be just fine, so have a great trip.
