How to fertilize on vacation?

[purrmaid]

So my bro wants me to visit him in Montana for like, 3 weeks sometime this year. Other bro can take my cats and can refill the automatic fish feeder, but what do you do about nightly liquid fertilizer? I feel like there should be some little bit of tech that can do that but google is broken. I know I could probably turn down lights and co2 but some of my plants may die from that and I really just don't want to have to recalibrate everything

There’s probably something out there that does it, but I’d honestly just have your brother do it if he can. It’s give you the peace of mind knowing you it’s getting done right instead of having to fiddle around with a gadget😂

Yeaaaaah no, unless it can meow for attention he'll forget. I figure it would be good to have for short trips or even so I don't have to do it nightly.

I have no personal experience with them, and so cannot recommend any brands or models, but you'll want to search for 'aquarium fertilizer auto doser' or 'automatic dosing pump' or something like that. Probably someone here has experience with them.

You'll want to get it in and set it up and really learn it before leaving though. That's not something you set up the day before leaving and figure you're all set, you know?

The trip isn't fully planned so nothing is booked or anything. I have time~
