COCO COIR Coco watering and vacation!

[atoms]

Hey guys,
i have to go away for 2-3 days.Since im growing in Coco and watering everyday, i was wondering if 48-72hours without watering would have adverse effect. Im one month in flowering, expecting another 4 to 6 weeks until harvest (from the seed vendor). Would there me any way to keep the coco moist during that time?

The setup: 5gal Smartpot , 70/30 coco perlite, ppm at 450, ph between 5.5/6.0. Plant is doing very well so far.


Thanks for your time.

I never water coco everyday, I water every 3 to 5 days. 5 gal pot. Give them 1.25 gallons of water per plant then go on vacation.

Agreed with this, you can water everyday but coco holds tons of water

Would it be advisable to put the pot in a flooded tray (would the coco uptake water that way if needed)? I was going to suggest a Blumat bottle adapter (fits a standard soda bottle, waters for 2-3 days with a 1L bottle) but don't know if it works with coco.

Water in a bucket with an air pump/air stone to keep it fresh, and a pump with drippers on a timer. A 5 gallon bucket kept my ladies happy for 2 weeks when I left town.
