watering
I need to go out of town for like a week. Is it worse to give my plants tons and tons of water before I leave, just just give them the normal amount of water and let them wilt some when they run out and hope I can bring them back to life when I'm back?

Not sure what kind of plants or how big they are. But, you can leave ice cubes on top of the dirt. They melt slowly so the plant gets water a bit more gradually. This time of year they should be able to go without water for a week. Once spring starts they'll need more.

Give Them just a little bit more water than u useually do they should last.

If you water too much the roots will rot and you will have one dead plant... you wont be gone too long give them there normal water then let it be, just pick up the normal watering when you get back... plants have evolved to survive a drought better than a monsoon in a pot were there is no drainage rather it sits in the water... yeah so just give them there normal supply and they will survive...

Try getting a neighbor or a close friend to water your friends. Offer to pay them for their work, but if you really dont want to water a lot before you leave.

fill a 2 liter bottle of water and attached a straw at the when to go to leave shove teh straw in the soil so water can drip out slowly and ur plants wont be as bad when you get back or have someone look after them for you

If you give them too much water, they'll die. You can't overwater plants! Plants also don't just just like that, I forgot to water my plants for 2 weeks and they're still blooming right now! So just water then regularly, or actually, have a friend to the watering for you while you're gone!

You really don't want to over-water them. I'd just give them the normal amount of water. If you've got a friend who can water them for you, that'd be better.
