In 90-95 dry weather could I go 5 days without watering if I were to move my plants into partial shade and water them really good before I leave? And use mulch.

A little bit early but I'm doing some research for my grow next year.

depends on their size and how many days before your pot gets light. When it gets light most of the time you only have 1 day max before you're in danger of them wilting and drying up.

Put some vermiculite on top of the soil. Or get a water globe. Or build a wick. Or call a friend. Or...

I gather they are in pots what sort? best bet is use one of those slow release waterer's that you put in the ground or make a dew catcher that dribbles onto the soil at the stalk.

In five days nothing major is going to happen. Just water them right when you can.
