Watering advice before vacation

Hi,

I need to water my 4 plants before going to vacation of 5 days. (no one else can do it, only me)
The thing is the time for watering has not come yet...I transferred them last week to 11 litter pot, and the pots are still very heavy full with water.
The vacation is on 2 days..

Leaving them for 7 more days (2 +5) without feeding and watering will be too much.

Any advice?
Feed as usual even when its not the time yet (over watering once?)
Feed a little without runoff?

Thanks

Leave them
The roots will search for water when you get back they will be ready to rock

It all depends, what size of plant? I would dim the light down so they drink less water or just put a pump on a timer.

It can’t be very big if he just transplanted to a three gallonish pot

all good ideas, personaly, i would get some plant pot watering trays or containers to accomplish the same thing. then give them a a good few inches of water, its only for 5 days, so it wont harm the roots.

the lights down and root development idea is probably best for plant development, herbs n suds mentioned

Take them on vacation with you

@Herb & Suds
Not sure they will be happy with 7 more days without feeding... also didn't fed them during transplant and they really need the feeding + in case of any accident with air condition they will die without water for so much time?

@Wastei
That is a good point, with the light
They are 30 cm height+-, not so good for almost 60 days cause I fucked up the soil mix (too much perlite, less buffers, took me time to understand that)

@go go kid
I have trays but usually they are for runoff only
Can I feed with this method?

oh right, is it coco your growing in

Just a thought... What about hanging up some I.V. bags on a drip the day that you leave?

No coco, some fibers, but most of it peat, perlite, vermiculite.
I fucked it up by adding myself more perlite & vermiculite...

But the transfer was without any additional from my side, only the soil mix from the store.
But how they have some deficiencies and I must must feed them..

Meanwhile I turn off the airconditon a bit and it except one pot I think I can water them tomorrow.

Again, they must must be fed this time, I can't miss this feed .It will be 14 days without feeding and I see signs and slow grow again....


I am worry about feeding more than watering


Thanks, good ideas, I hope by tomorrow it will be better
It not, I will put half feed dosage in the trays
