Help with lowryder 2 light cycle

Hey guys ive got a 7 day old lowryder 2 at the moment and she is looking beautiful , the only problem is that i have her under 18/6 but i have to leave town for a fews days due to work, will it be ok if i leave her under 24/0 untill im back? being an auto i didn't think it would matter to much? also considering she will be under that much light if i give her a good drink before i leave will she be right for 2 maybe 3 days before needing another watering?

cheers guys and happy growin and tokin

Well the easiest option for sure is to get a timer on those lights, costs a couple of bucks...Would recommend it anyways if ur switching the lights on/off manually now
Since it's such a young plant, water it before you leave but don't overwater it! At that stage the plant is pretty fragile...
But yeah, the plant should do fine anyways though the change in the light-schedule gives stress always.

cheers for the reply dude, yeah i will definitely pick up a timer in the next week or so, was just hoping she will be ok for the few days that im gone. so how much water would you recommend for a young plant?

Well you can pretty much determine it on the size of the plant. If it's a tiny seedling etc. you can imagine that it won't drink a gallon in a couple of days Just water it like you've done before... It should easily last a week with a single watering.

PS. You can let the soil get crispy and dry on the top before you water, every time...If you keep it moist all the time it might generate mold

haha very true dude, ok yeah didnt really give a thought to mould, maybe i should let it dry out more then i have been. Cheers man! thanks for giving us a helping hand in this comedy of errors that is my first grow haha,

good luck dude, stay safe, happy tokin.

Np! Yeah overwatering is pretty much the most common newbie-mistake there is, killing it with love But yeah let soil get dry on the top before each watering, a fan will also prevent mold! (Well you should be using a fan anyways though)
