hi lads and lasses.
ive got a new batch of clones coming tomorrow, wohoooo.
only problem is im off to amsterdam on wednesday for cannabis cup for a week.
i was going to leave the clones in my tent, a 1.2x1.2 with a 600w hps
will they be ok for a week if i water them nicely and leave them in a saucer full of water?
any advise please :)
thanks.

i would not leave them in a saucer full of water you risk damping off/root rot.

hmmmm, im just thinking their going to be in small pots as their only cuttings so these pots will dry up pretty darn fast under a 600 on 18/6, espesially left for a week...

thats the conundrum.....if you leave them in enough water to last they risk root rot......if you only leave them a little water they will dry out.......

they will be dead when u come back if u leave them under a 600w with no life support/watering system.... are they in jiffy pellets, rockwool?

Could you put them in really big pots that are well watered, cover the soil to prevent evaporation and try and get a smaller light?

Can't you asked who ever your getting them from to hold them for one more week??

AH! I see the sneaky trick you pulled there - you used common sense, which admittedly doesn't appear to be too common around here at times :)
