Huge problem need help now!!!

i am very stressed out right now my 4 2 to 2 1/2 month old babies are growing beautifully but i am going home for thanksgiving for 4-5 days...

ive considered giving them a good watering, but i have no light timers "very very ghetto grow room" should i leave the lights on 24/7 or turn them off because i recently switched to 18/6... please help i dnt want them to die
any help will be GREATly appreciated

you could put them on 24 again ,,,it should not hurt them.... but,,,you should get yourself a timer...it is essential and if your lights are not very powerful...not mh or hps 400+ then you can get by with a fairly cheap timer..$20 or less

yeah, im not so much worried about the lighting as i am about the watering.... also, could you use an hps with cfls? i heard they could burn them if i switch

24/7 or 18/6 it doesn't matter if you switch back and forth between this schedule they won't flower till the dark period is 10 hrs or longer+,-.

If you are in soil just set up a wick bucket or water heavily before you leave. No nead to freak out. Cannabis deals with alot of adversity in its native habitats.

time it and give it a good watering before you go and water them right when you get back hopefully the 5 day period wont result in anything bad since your growing in soil you should only be watering every 4 days or so anyhow

i agree with all the above the lights shouldnt matter to much if at all and from what ive learned a plant can deal better with a drought than a flood best of luck to you
