How can I keep seedlings alive for 3 weeks?

Hi everyone, awesome site , full over good valuable info, my question is, How can I keep 24 seedlings alive for approx. 3 weeks, they are bagseed, I want to fine tune my green thumb before investing money in good strains.
but suddenly, I have to leave home for 3 weeks and there is nobody to tend to my babies! setting them outside is out of the question with days lately reaching 108-110 degrees. and no rain at all
Would a wick type system work with big tubs of water? or maybe a timer hooked up to a mister or something? any help would be appreciated.

Buy a small water pump and a few cheap drippers (irrigation drips) from home depot and put the drippers in the pots, and the pump on a timer, leave the pump in a suitable container, with enough water as to not kill the pump, and make sure you lid the container as to not raise the humidity. Good luck man!

Simple Hydroponics, The Wick System

What are some simple hydro methods?

The Wick System is probably the simplest hydroponic system.It is a passive system by virtue of there being no moving parts and where the nutrient solution remaining static in one place.The solution is taken out of a container and led to the plants? roots through the growing medium by capillary action, conducted through one or more wicks.Normally in this system a mixture of of various growing media are used in order to increase to the utmost their capillary capacity.This system contains conventional soil supplemented with fertilizers, with plain water in a container solely for irrigation.As this very compact hydroponic system is so versatile especially in small home gardens for growing in small spaces as it can be set up on a very small scale.This system?s biggest limitation occurs with large plants which need large amounts of water which the wicks are unable to supply in adequate amounts.In this case, the number of wicks has to be increased to supply demand for water!Of course adding pumps would be advantages but this is just an example of the simplest method you can add your own thoughts and idea's at any stage.

Very nice Mogie

Thanks for the fast replies, I think I will go with a drip system on a timer, I think I can control it more than a wick system? any opinions on this?

if you have the money a drip system is the best...as an az grower i know the defuclties of the temp....i think the best thing to do is have that drip system an someckeck on the plants every few days...

That's the problem is that there is nobody to check in on the plants every few days.
