One thing I do know...get it out of the soda container, roots hate light and that plant ios going to be a bit bigger when you get back. Also if you are worried get a drip rig if it's feasible. But you should be fine, MJ is native to the great outdoors. Good luck and relax you're going on vacation....take me with you please:eek:

No I don't hunt, I'm scared of guns LOL and I'm a big sucker LOL. But if it can have water in it and it drips at a nice rate sure. The bowl thing scares me only because of roots and O2.

You just said it, a drip system using an upsidedown 2-liter bottle. Run a small hose from the cap to to and around the base of the plant, then poke holes in the tube where it rings around the plant, this will enshure an even soak. I would use like vacume hose or something simular in size for the tubing, and i would cut the bottm off the 2 liter and hang it upside down, and fill up the 2 liter just about to the rim. Hang it near the plant against a wall or on a stick if outside. Hope this helps, Peace and Love!!!!!

How long are you going away for?

From the sounds of it, your plant is very young, if you re pot it into a larger container and water it the day you go away, it wont need watering for a week ;)

Its not too late, you can still get small plants, but the window is closing fast, get a few more popped and see what you end up with :)
