Advice Needed again

I have been shanghaied by my family for a 5 day family get together in the mountains, leaving next Wednesday. Love the mountains, love my family and it will be fun. Now the problem. :My OG Kush auto 76 days from seed and I had hoped to harvest the end of next week (maybe a bit longer). I'll be here for the harvest, no problem but I have no one I trust to do my watering. My family will be with me and with 5 days between water/nutes I really don't know what to do. I can either harvest early or take my chance that she won't die from lack of moisture.

I see this question a lot on the forum and I wonder if anyone has ever used those glass watering globes. You would probably have to use 2 per plant or get the x-tra large size ones. They have them at walmart and most nurseries. Probably not good for long term use but can probably help you get by for 4 or 5 days.

Lol I was wondering about those my mom use to put em all her house plants, but I wasnt sure if they would provide enough. Longest were usually gone is three days for dr trips. ( 4 hour drive obe way)

Myself I use a small fish tank or pound pump and set it on a timer one bucked/pump has nutes and one bucket/pump and ph watered and the pumps run off timers. I do this method when I go away as well works awesome

I have a 200lph pump and I set it for 2mins a day. I grow in soil/perlite with autos and this works awesome. A freind of mine went onto ebay a bought a self watering system for 30 bucks and u can set times and quontitys of liquid the only issue it runs off battery's so ya gotta buy good battery's and hope they dnt die before u change em

if you come back to a "dry" plant ready for harvest whats the problem?

[Bikerstonrr]

I like the way you think lol.

[9fingerleafs]

hahahaha it wasn't rhetorical, i really dont know if its bad for the end product, but some people in very moist weathers let the pot dry before harvest, i wouldn't worry much about it i cant imagine something that really fucks things up happening except fire, no fire = all good
