Okay, So i will be leaving for vacation in about 25 days, and i wont be able to water my plants. I tried the aqua globes they dont work too good. I need some ideas on an automatic waterer, Or is there some cheap machine that can take care of that? I also heard of the wick waterer but it doesnt look the best either

If you are just going to feed water, couldn't you just setup a reservoir and use a pump on a timer? How long of a vacation?

2 weeks?!?!!?! Are you planning to just water with straight up water? I would think that anythig organic sitting around for 2 weeks is going to turn funky on you.

wow, when will people learn to not go away for 2 weeks when your growing. no offense but personally I dont recommend for longer then a week. depending on how much u have actually invested in your grow so your call but I think your coming home to something you wont like.

With just plain phed water you'll be fine. Just get an outdoor timer and a little submerisble pump from a hardware store. should cost more than $30 for the whole shabang. Just like hydro guys do except obviously you only want the pump on for about a short while to water the plants every couple of days. Timer might actually be a little more expensive, but you get the idea. Real simple stuff. Look out by the ponds and fountains and junk.

Is someone going to move your lights for you? Unless your in flower aren't your plants really going to grow in 2 weeks?
