Hi, so have 8 girls 4weeks into flower in 10litre pots.
4 each under 600hps hoods. Temps sit between 24-30c lights on. Feed about a litre every 2-3 days to each.

.so I'm away for 6days and can't get to water them.anyone out there been this long n know what affects will come? I have watered them till drain which each took 4-5 litres of water.
Will they survive till I'm back?

Cannabis is a very resilient plant, (that's why they call it weed<---- I hate when people say that, cuz they never grew great weed or anything for that matter. ) They will probably look like the most shriveled, hunch over crunchy shit you ever seen but they will usually come back. They will be severely stunted and yield very minimally.

No. Plants or living creatures. Could you or a pet last 6 days with no water? Try to set up a gravity drip with a 5 gallon bucket or a timed drip with a pump using a 32 gallon garbage can.

I grow in 5 gallon fabric pots and have gone a week without watering but a lot depends on the soil your using. some soils hold water better than others but with small pots and hot lights you should set up an automatic watering system

They will be fine, water very good before leaving and if possible add and inch of new soil on top after watering

Maybe sit them in a water bath with some movement? Air bubbles ideally. You're running hydro basically with coco and perlite, so you could make a rigged dwc system for a few days to hold you over. It may just work

It doesnt matter...
The grow medium youre using can only hold x amount of moisture. You can pour 30 gals of water on it and it will still only absorb only x amount. The rest runs off. So it will dry out in the same amountnof time whether you give 2 gals or 30 gals. There is no way around that.

So ya...youre fucked.

If you are going to grow.. you need to be organized. They may.. and I said MAY survive , but they will likely be crisp when you return. Just advice.. not downing you. @Capi jack Best of Luck!
