2 days without a feed during week 7 of flower

A forward planning grow question. During Week 7 or 8 of flowering I will be away for 2 days. Looks like my babies may not get a feed for about for about 40 hours. I'm growing in 70% coco coir 30% perlite. Will the plants get through even with only minor impact?

Reality is this- depends how big they get and how big those pots are. Great info already given below but I’ve ended up with plants bigger than shit in coco small containers and they needed full soak feeds every 12 hours.. would do a full dryback in 16-20 hours. That was far end of spectrum. You’re in an outdoor spot like that.. I’d be worried about dryback. It’s far from ideal, but I’ve just filled a saucer before I go and call it good. I’m sure since you have weeks to figure it out you’ll find something better than that

Well... how fast are they drinking now? Are they dried out after 2 days? then they will be dried out after less than 2 days later on. The only problem here is wilting... is it going to dry out? Slightly less nutes for 2 days out of 100 isn't going to impact much.

They will survive if you soak them in feed right before you leave. Depending on Potter size. I have done it in 3 and 4 gallons. Left just a little run off in trays. Turn down light a little so it's not as hot. Like 2 overcast days. You will have to take care of them asap when back. They will totally be fine this way. I been growing in coco for 3 years. You can't overwater. Really need to soak them on feed about once every other day as long as your run off ph is in line. Then add a little ph water between feeds to keep wet. Coco stays wet constantly is how it works best. Just not left in run off. In this case I think you could do it once, just not a lot. Good luck. 🌱

I have people that i can trust to come over and take care of things. When i grow in coco my plants get fed 5-6 times a day 7 weeks in flower. If you can't have anyone come over and take care of things. I would have the plants in a small reservoir to wick up for the 40hrs. When you get back feed with 20% runoff and continue as normal.

I would make sure you have someone come and water at least or set up a method of watering, you don't want to let coco coir dry out it messes with the PH big time or water them good right before ya leave and they should hold enough humidity until ya get back. Just up your rh to make sure they stay damp

secondo me si senza problemi se innaffi abbondantemente,il coco tiene comunque l'umidita'necessaria per una 40 di ore o anche di piu bisogna valutare la temperatura e l'umidita che avrai in quel periodo puoi fare delle prove controllate una settimana prima per valutare eventuali problemi se avessi problemi puoi farti un piccolo impianto a goccia con una bottiglia rovesciata...ma secondo me bastera' irrigare abbondantemente prima di andare via 💪 se ti serve contattami
