[weed is love weed is life]

hey im a new user so idk if this is the right thread im planing on growing some blue treacle auto outdoors the problem is that im going on vacation for 2 weeks so i have no way to water them idk if they will be fine or not since they will be outdoors thanks

You might be fine if you do a rain dance before leaving and it works, otherwise you may want a backup. Plants will not survive for 2 weeks without water. Look into an automated watering system or someone you can trust to water them. Otherwise it'll be up to mother nature whether they survive or not.

If you have water available (even swamp water is better than no water), look into wicking systems. They can be as simple as having one end of a wick in the water source and running through a small trench under the plants. The dry end will wick or suck water from the source and keep them watered. You can create a reservoir if you don't think it'll be detected using some heavy gage plastic sheet, dig a hole, line it, fill it (or let rain fill it) stick the wick in and trench it to where you'll plant them.

if i dig a hole and put a 10 gal tub inside and fill it up do you think it would survive

Depends on the number, size of plants and what stage they're in. If it's like one or two plants and still vegging that should be fine.

yea its gonna be like 1 plant and when it matures im gonna make clones thanks for all of your help

Successfully cloneing an autoflower and getting that clone to a useful size before it flowers is a bit tricky, so I'm led to believe. Reason being is the clone is the same age as the mother. You might want to look into it if you haven't already.

yea i completely forgot that, im probably gonna do it when the plant has a few branches

You can put a few pin pricks in a 2 liter bottle and use it as a slow release. Bury it in the hole with the plant, leaving the lid above ground. Take the top off to fill it, then put the top back on. Plant size will determine if 2 liters is enough or not.

This sounds like the easiest solution for OP
