New Grower Holiday conundrum

[taffy]

Hey all, I'm going away early next week for a week
I currently have a snow ryder at 8 weeks (will turn 9 day before I leave) and 2 white diesel haze at 5 weeks ( will turn 6 day after I leave)
I hadn't really planned on this holiday, was paid for by my folks to go and visit 2 weeks ago
I've bought myself a timed irrigation can go off either every 12 or 24 hours
There are 2 main problems I have
1-as these are drinking different strength nutes, should I lower and remove the bloom nutes as to not over aggitate the younger haze plants or only feed the snow ryder and give the haze plants a healthy dose before going?
2- lighting, as the haze plants are growing around an inch and half per 24 hrs, I couldn't leave them too close but if I go too far will they stretch too much? The snow ryder has stopped vertical height so she should be okay with her current set up
2 and a half - I really can't decide on the length of time to have my lights on, I'm thinking 6 on 6 off for the week
any and all suggestions are very much appreciated
cheers all

Is this hydro or soil?
If soil they could go a week between watering and feeding if they are in regular size pots.
If they grow an inch and a half that's 10.5 inches in a week. Raising the lights 10 inches shouldn't make them stretch too much in a week.
Do you have to deal with heat now? Maybe have a 4-6 hour lights off period during the hot part of the day.

Sorry, should of stated, I'm in soil approx 10 litres for the haze plants and 5 litre for the snow ryder
up until 2 weeks ago they were only getting some feed every week, lately it's been every 4 days and there's still moisture there with haze plant
the snow ryder has been enjoying her drinks lately and been taking half a litre a day, come up against a possible mg problem the last few days though so not happy, gonna just feed low biobizz grow, alga mic and calm a until I leave
it's getting warmer now but still not too bad
was thinking 6 on and 6 off to retain moisture with slightly lower heat
I'm thinking of tieing the haze slightly too, which may help with the height of the lamp

It is going to be problematic at best. I would run your feed every 24 hours and leave your lights where they are at. If you pull them up, it will induce your plants to stretch. Tie them down. Best of luck!

taffy;
great question. I would go with briman said if only a week, and tie them down at the top not to much maybe 3 inches or so.
how tall are they now? I would lower nut to the one that is using less. the one that like more should be ok for a week with want it has already. they can not keep growing upward at that pace for long.

Cheers bri and pops
Will be tieing the hazes down tomorrow, they're about foot and half at present and bushy as hell as wide as high, just started flowering the past few days.
The system I have only allows for one mix, so I'm gonna have to put some thought into what mix I go for
the snow rider has been flowering coming on 3 weeks now, only small buds, but first grow and only a gallon soil and around 3 and half foot tall
