[HELP] Late stage Flowering - Plant will need to be alone

Hi guys,

Hope you all good.

I consider myself a new grower, been growing for only one year, still too much to try and learn.
I usually just read these fórum threads but right now I really need your advise regarding one specific situation.
Well, I have three babies right now (2 Quick ones; 1 Royal Jack Auto from Royal Queen Seeds), everything in this grow went according to my plan. The thing is that they are currently entering their last flowering week and I will have to, unexpectadely, travel. I will be away for 7 days. I cannot have anyone taking care of my babies, they will have to be all alone.

Should I flush them right now, wait 5 days, cut and hang right before my trip?
Or:
Should I let them take their time (last flowering week) with the regular feeding schedule and flush the day before I leave (cutting and hanging when I get back)?

Ofc It depends on the thricomes color, for sure, right now they still need some maturing as most of them are not milky yet, but this is a random, not planned, situation I need to try and reduce risks…
I also thought in Flushing right before leaving and decreasing the light Schedule to 12/12 (although they are auto).


What do you guys think about this?


Light: HPS 150w
Schedule: 18h/6h
Air flow: Carbon filter + TT dual + 2 small fans
Medium: Soil ( BioBizz Light Mix )
Nutes: BioBizz Grow/Bloom/TopMax

Ty all

a week is a good long time to be gone without watering. you might want to look into some blumats for situations like this.
if you have to just take off, i'd give them a real good watering at about 200 ppm, and hope for the best.

Thank you for your answer.

Yeah I know but It can't be helped....

Any more tips?

i normally would not advise this, but you might want to set them in some kind of containers and add a couple of inches of water right before you leave. if you water the day before, it ought to last the week. not a good practice in general, but in this situation it ought to get them through till you get back. make sure they actually need water when you get back, they still may be kind of wet at the bottom.

I’d look into homemade gravity feeders cheap and effective if you need to roll out.

Yeah I'd use a water globe. About $5 at walmart.
