Any suggestions appreciated!

I know at some point I will have to be away for a week and not able to use a drip irrigation system as I'm running a bio organic feed which would clog the tubing and also the nutes are only viable for 2 days. Any suggestions to how I could keep the feeding process going whilst I'm away?

You can use peristatic pumps which don't need drippers for irrigation.

The two day viability is more difficult as they'll need to be mixed. Are the nutrients dry, liquid, or a combination?

Hi! Thanks for the reply.
Suppose a pump would be the logical solution. I will be using fluid based nutrition - canna Bio flores/vega.
This will also be an auto grow so I really don't want a big set back whilst I'm gone for the week! Are there any slow releasing bio nutrients I could possibly use?

I don't know of any.

To make the pumps work for you will take a computer controller and several pumps. It won't be easy.

I grow in coco/perlite using synthetic nutrients with an automatic watering system so I can go away for up to a week at a time. An option for your future grows would be LOS or living organic soil. You can get away with water only for a week. Doc Bud's High Brix Blend has quite the following here. It will take you at least a month to prepare, or cook as they say, the soil before it's ready to use. Take a look at Mr. Krip's or Duggan's journals for more information.
