    I am going to be gone for 5 days, and really need to know if there's any possiblity the plant will dry out if I can't water it for 5 days, can I just water it good, and leave it? I don't trust anyone to water it for me really, because the people that live IN town are sneaky and would either kill it on purpose or steal it.

    I would make like a dripper with a water bottle and a pin size whole or something like that. Cause 5 days is a longtime. Good luck

    If you are outside, yes. Inside with HID lights, no. Inside with Fluoros, not really sure.

    no you can give them a good watering just before you go & 5 days is not a long time between waterings, so give it a good feed even put extra water through & mind drain excess from trays, then away you go & when you get back they will probably be in a ok state, if not then be slighty drooping & a little watering will fix that no problem.:)

    i leave mine for 3-4 days between waterings & they look like they could go longer;) the soil beneath the top soil will hold moisture for weeks, so as said they might look a little sorry for themselves but no real damage will be done.:)

    all the best:smoke:
