hey ho guys.
I have a problem i hope you can help with:)
The thing is, that i have a little one (1 weekd old) and everything is fine, but in 2 weeks, i've got to leave it alone for two whole weeks. can you guys suggest some cheap, diy, foolproof method to water my plant? My roommates are going home for the holidays too...

hey thats got nothin' to do with autoflowers! lol

Now, Ive got a blueryder that showed sex this morning on day 16! its a boy:cry: 16 days is pretty early for an autoflower, would you agree? or is that common?

He's been in 4 gal soil pot under cfls since germination.

well Im guessing you are growing in soil? what type of soil and what pot size? how big will your plants be when you have to leave? What light do you have? Depending on what light you have you can raise it a little bit to lower the temps and slow down water evaporation. Maybe cover the top of the soil with something too but that might start mold growth if it is too humid. two weeks is a long time my friend. you can make a drip system but I have no experience with them nor have i really researched them. all i know is two weeks is a long time to be away.

yea that's why i'm worrying... My dwarf will be 3 weeks old on the 21th, and yes, i'm growing in soil. I've out some clay pellets in the pot beacuse the soil got dry too soon...
the air is too dry in the room, and in the pc box in which i'm growing, there's a fan going and it makes it even drier. I have 3 26W cfls.

I've been thinking about the dripping system, but i don't know how many drips per minute would be the best. In fact, i made one yesterday but it drips very fast even though there's only a tiny hole in the hose. guess i'll have to manage that somehow because i'm worrying bout the plant... But until then i'll learn whether it is a male or female, but of course i'm hoping for a girl...
 
use a wick system with a resovoir. normal cotton rope works.bury wick into dirt than palce rest in res .just make sure res is higher than burried wick. it will slowly leech out

mmm, good idea, thanks! :) but won't it soak the whole soil? I mean to a level that would be harmful or too much :dunce:

Hey buddy im guessing thats a male as they always show sex before females and autoflowers usually sex abount week three,, i had one show sex abount this sort of time and it turned out to be male even thought they were feminised seeds,,, what happened is my nft hydro kit wasnt quite level therefore holding water directly under said plant therfore stressing it cuasing HERMY alert!!! post a pic lets see:shock:

the soil will be wet not oversaturated. the soil will be fine. i think this is your best bet. otherwise a timed pump like a hydrosystem. set it to turn on once a day for a couple mins. just enuff to give it a lil water .

got some seeds today
MiniThunderFuck's the strain and germin'em is the game.
I got them from a fellow rollitup member who did a seedrun.
ill let anyone know who if there intrested,alot cheaper then buying from a bank/breeder.
I will be the test run, if they dont work out. it was worth a shot.if they work out ill recomend people to get some off him and save some dollars.
all and all i have 30 brown & black striped seeds,they are large and healthy, sent a little over a week ago.
(with the seeds was a leaf's tip,thought it was funny)
