Water for seedlings while on vacation

Joey in Conroe, TX(Zone 8b)

I have some 5 week old tomato and pepper seedlings, as well as some younger peppers and flower seedlings under the lights. My problem ios that I have to leave for 3-6 days and I'm worried about my husband remebering to water while I'm gone. Any suggestions for self watering, at least for 3 days at a time, I think he can remember every 3 days LOL. I would really hate to lose them after these weeks of babying!

If you bottom water it should be ok for that long. By that I mean, place all the little pots into a larger container, put plenty of water in the larger container. As long as there are holes in the bottom of the plant pots, they will drink it up as needed. You may find they are water-logged when you get back and will need a bit of dying out time.

HTH and GL.
