Apartment. There is a hose connection for the whole complex but the workers use it quite frequently for the landscaping. I tried talking with them but they wouldn't let me use it.

Are these potted plants on a balcony?

I forget, is it only for a week? Can you design a filtration method and essentially set them in a large quantity of water? A bigger version of those pots that you pour water in the ledge at the bottom?

Yea only a week and I do have something similar already, the double bucket method:

So I got about a gallon of water in the bottom and they seem to soak it up over about 5 days. Been too scared to go a 6th because the wicking action stops when they completely dry out.

ooo speaking of dress at work. Birkenstock type sandals with jeans on a dude. That's a no, right? I've seen the same dude twice now and both times I've been like.........that's not right.

Just a day ahead of casual Friday?

Couldn't you do something simple and take a coke bottle, fill it with water, poke a couple of holes in the bottom and just sit it on the soil? The water would just gravity feed into the soil as it dries out. You would need to leave the cap off or drill a hole in it to prevent a vacuum from happening

Is there a way you could siphon from other buckets full of just have water into the pvc of the plant buckets to at least provide more water availability for the plants.

Maybe move the pots inside and have air around 80? I was thinking planted plants. Why can’t you move them inside and they would survive a week if you had them very well watered when you left.

Have @GTO water them. You both live in Texas. It's not that big.

Not even Jesus would wear cargo shorts. So thats a no.

Of course he wouldn't. They weren't invented until WW2.

Birkenstocks are a no regardless of what you’re wearing, unless you live on a commune.

What if you're a shepherd?

Or put them in the bathtub and just have the shower run the whole time you're gone.

You wouldn’t be able to afford those.

I only wear birkenstocks with shorts personally.

That's definitely the last resort backup plan if I can't find someone to water or some sort of system to protect them.

I do have some grow lights but they weren't designed for 9 buckets

Can you pay the landscape guys to just shoot it with a hose one time

9 buckets of plants? What type of growing operation are you actually running?
