I am going camping for 2 days and don't have a timer for my lights so I was wondering what I should do for my Blue Dream auto thats in it's final week or two of flowering while I'm gone. Should I leave the light on dimmer than usual or put her in the dark, or find a window so it still gets a little light and dark? Thank you for any advice!

Leave your light on (24hrs) and keep the same power level while you’re gone.
 
It should be fine to leave them on, but is getting a $10 timer really not an option? I find the analog ones to be pretty unreliable, but any digital one I have used works 100% of the time. Don’t need Amazon or a grow shop, any hardware store will have one.

good luck!

I didn't think of that, now I feel kinda dumb. I guess I assumed they would be more expensive and since I work from home I'm always here and never thought to get one since there wasn't a need. They have one 2 miles away from me so I'll pick it up in the morning and test it out. Thanks for seeing the forest through the trees for me!
 
@MIAutomatic FTW! If you have time before you’re going camping this brand has been solid for me, only $10/unit

I have one of those controlling my tent, and got their surge protector strip that has half the ports always on (for fans and probes) and half ports on a digital timer for peripherals (deep and far red supplements during flower and a booster fan to give an extra breeze at “dusk” and “dawn”). The best $30 invested in the grow so far, let’s all my equipment run like clockwork versus alerts going off on my phone to plug and unplug things :thumbsup:

From having to take trips during my last two grows another key investment is a - relatively - cheap auto drip irrigation unit. It will save you the worry of coming home to a dried out girl, especially since they drink a ton during flower! Not as much of a worry later in flower but still…
