How to feed plants while on 10 day vacation.

[Louz]

I have an automated watering setting so getting water to the plants when I’m away is not a problem, I was away in sept for 5 days at the start of veg and just used water with no nutes.

Next week I leave for 10 days and the plants are a few weeks into flower, I’m thinking 10 days is to long to leave just feeding on water but I know it’s not good to pre mix nutes and leave them sitting for 10 days.

Is there any nutes that you are able to mix and leave sir without going bad?

Another idea I had was to top dress with dry amendments before I leave so the plants can feed on that while getting auto watered with plain water.

I currently used her GH micro grow bloom nutrients.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Louz,

Let ‘em go. You and the plants will be fine. Are they now in soil?

 

[Louz]

They are in a peat moss/ perlite mix. I’m using sunshine mix #4.

So just let them be for 10 days just feeding on plain water?

 

[Zill]

Yup. I’ll replace your plants if they suffer over the ten days.

Get a buddy to feed them

A slow release fertiliser like guano would easy cover 10days

I know it's not exactly the same as your setup, but I run synthetic nutes through Blumats without a problem. It's basically a reservoir and gravity feed.

I should have suggested placing the pots in a tray with water. Not filled, but enough to cancel out a few days.

Or an inverted water bottle. Ok, I’ll stop.
