So I know it sounds like a silly question but I'm leaving town for a long weekend and have had my plants on a regular schedule of watering every other day. I'm going to miss 2 water cycles while I am gone and am worried about the plants wilting as I am about 1 week from flower. I wasn't sure if I should over water before I leave???? I'm not so sure this will do the trick and I don't have anyone I can come and have do this for me as I haven't told anyone (the best way to go!) and I don't have anyone that I want to trust with such a thing.

So any suggestions you all have would be great!

Guess that I should also mention that I use MG moisture control soil (come on don't give me shit for it I like it). That's why I'm not sure if overwatering is the way to go as it may cause nute burn...


was considering also filling the saucers under the plants...

Use the wick method you can google it it is simply putting a wick in your soil about 2 to 3 inches down and then putting the other end in a bucket of water the plant will draw water thru the wick when it needs it

personally I like the MG soil, I swap in to a larger pot twice which I seem to think keeps the nutes up and I haven't had any issue with it. I used it on my last grown and it came out fine.
