Vacation watering

Hey everyone, I have to go out of town for a week. Gonna have about 15 ladies in soil. Anyone have suggestions about how I can water them while I'm gone? Should only need one watering about day 4 or 5 I'm thinking. I've heard of a shoelace method but I just don't know. And no way will I have someone come water for me!
Thanks

Are they in soil? If so, get one of those watering globes for $3 at the home center or garden supply place. Honestly, I've never had a plant in soil that couldn't go 4-5 days after a thorough watering, but I use large 7 gallon milk crates as flowering planters.

whatever method you do i would do it now while your home to see if it works. im thinking a bucket of water, fish tank pump and some drip line and a timer. good luck.

Don't water 2-3 days before vac, than soaked them, get BIG watering globes, should be good.

Ok, just don't want to have the soil saturated wet for a week as I know the plants like the soil to air out between waterings.
