watering

Question for the board hoping some with experience can help.
I'm going on a trip for 6-8 days in the future. I grow indoors in soil with LEDs. The date of the trip will have me roughly 5 weeks into the grow. I was kinda thinking about doing an auto for this grow or maybe a couple of photos and an auto. start the auto immediately then 4 weeks in plant the photo seeds. and go on vacation I prefer running 2 or 3 plants in my 4' by 4'.

My question is What is an easy way to have some kind of drip setup to water the girls while i'm gone for a week. Would something like a 2 liter bottle with a small hole drilled work? would planting the photos (seeds) 4 days before my trip and putting in a cup with soil hold up to not being watered for 7 days? Ideally i want the 1 auto to finish at the time I flip 12/12 for the photos. Plant auto June 1st, plant photos July 4th go vacation for a week and come back.

Thanks for any answers/suggestions.

I predict a tent full of compost materials. Especially seedlings.

Best bet would be to get a cheap water pump, hose line to fit that pump, tee fittings, and drippers. Make a ring with some of the hose; big enough for your pot and use a tee fitting to complete the circle with one end of the T going to your bucket. Do this for every pot. Does that make sense?
Idk if I would trust soil to stay moist and pop seeds. Better to get them started a couple weeks before the trip. Or wait till after

Wet them well before leaving, the soil should be able to last a week like a house plant.

Water then we’ll before you leave.
Drill small hole in the lid/top of a
2ltr bottle cut the bottom off the bottle place bottle lid/top 2” deep next to plant fill with water /nutes

Use a tote as a reservoir with a bulkhead fitting to screw in a hose bib. Toro makes a zero pressure battery operated timer. You could use larger tubing or adapt to the Salco multi outlet 1/2” FPT drip splitter. It Uses 1/4” tubing and comes with plugs to shutoff some of the outlets.
