Problem. Might need a diy drip system

[Oznewbie]

Hey,

 

My grow is set to finish up around the time I have to go away for 10 days.

 

I have 3 or 4 possible scenarios.

 

Pull early (possoble week or 2) and start the dry whilst gone.

 

It may finish in time. Pull and dry whilst gone.

 

(likely) use the time away as a flush with a diy drip feeder.

 

Or if i let it go, and they starve of water- what are the issues i face.

 

 

Anyone any advice? I know its a bit of an unknown until i get closer.

 

Depending on the outcome i may need to know, how to dry slowly in qld so as not too dry after 10days when i return.

 

New grower here guys. Seriously annoyed at this unplan ned trip at the worst of times.

 

I dont have the option of having someone feed for me.

 

Thanks in advance:)

That sounds cool. Its all a little unknown as we have just started to flower.

If it works out i will need some cheap diy ideas to drip feed.

Maybe a big drink when leaving, with a 2litre bottle with some holes in the lid placed in the soil.

 

Sorry i shoudve mentioned the medium is soil. Indoor. Auto plants

Can get a battery powered timer from bunnings that you can set up when and how long it will water for. Meant to be run off a tap but I dodgyied it up to run of a 90l bin for a couple outdoor plants the past season or two.

 

Be good to get it now so you can dial it in now before you go away

don't know if a drip feed would work for a flush,

 

went away for 10 days n

 

 rigged up a simple watering system with a 

 

20$ pond pump from Bunnings in a 20lt bucket

 

with 19mm hose with 4mm drip feed fittings with on open end,

 

on a timer, worked well.

 

will take a couple of pics this arvo.

Let them dry out,pull when u get back

Or pull early

Setting up a make shift system could cause more dramas than it's worth
