Hey everyone. I’ll be away from Saturday-Wednesday. Got some 1 month old seedlings veging in my closet. They usually need water every other day (sometimes every couple days). Is there a huge risk of not watering for 4 days when it’s needed? If so, any methods that gave worked for you guys? I Wouldn’t mind spending a few extra bucks. Thanks.
My plants are 8 weeks into veg and I let mine go 4 days without water. They were quite dry and significantly drooping... but nothing 24 hours and some water didn’t take care of. I’d think these little guys can go 3-4 days
You could also turn a light off or increase humidity so your VPD drops and they’ll retain their moisture longer.
But repotting and watering just before you leave is a solid plan in this situation.
I have used automatic watering systems in the past when gone for a week or longer. That seemed to keep them well hydrated while I was away. Paid about $50 for one on amazon years ago.
