the overwatering sounds most plausable... The two sour candys I,have drink at diffrent speeds and they are of the same stock. Easy to see in dwc cause its just a water level monitor. One drink about a half gallon a day right now +\- evaporation but the other only drinks about a third gallon.

I Think ive seen pics of ur vert scrog. F'n killer setup. I would call flooded tube a water culture of sorts.. A varyation anyway... What do you do, flood them on timer or is it a 24 hr flow? Im not super familure with tube setups...
I can't tell you what others do in their tubes, I'm not too familiar with how anyone else does it. I have dams in my tubes, and the water runs 24 hours a day. The dams are basically for when the power goes out. And for when the roots are only a couple inches long.

I have a 400 gal/ hour pump that circulates the water and that's it. Enough oxygen from the water fall back into the rez. My roots nearly fill the whole 4" tube I'm using, and the long ones get to be about 2 feet long, sometimes 3 feet.

I don't really notice it. I'm not sure what it costs, but I don't think it's over $5 a month. Maybe $10... but I don't think that high. My whole closet costs about $80 a month, and that's a 1000w hps on 12 hours a day (of course). A 6" 435cfm fan going 24 hours a day. And the pump going 24 hours a day. Also got two little fans going all the time as well.

It's treating me great my friend. Sun came out just as we got on the eye this morning. No lines at all. Haven't got rained on yet, just a little drizzle, but that's a nice change for a desert person. All the daylight is kinda freaking me out. Not used to 18 hours of light. It's 9:30 for gods sake and the sun is just setting. The city is looking amazing in preparation for the games. Glad I'm leaving before the crowds get here. Only thing I'm upset about... the new oyster card holder things aren't as good as before. They had pockets on the outside before, now just the two inside. Plus it's black now and has advertizing. I liked the old blue one. Left mine in the states.

Oh, and no one said happy 4th of july to me today. Don't they know I'm an American lolol

Will get my first smoke of England homegrown tomorrow. Been smoking my mates and it's shit lol. Tastes fine, but he must have harvested about 3-4 weeks early. Kinda strong buzz for about 20 mins, then your strait again. Even his hash is the same, it's a trip.

Love this city, and this country. I'm missing it already and we're here for almost 3 weeks still.

oh yeah and im using tap water
since you are using tap water. i would check the ph since it can be off with tap. and that can lead to lockouts. also let the water sit a bit to let the chlorine evaporate off. you should make a thread in the indoor growing. great place to make a "journal" and would probably get more responses than in this thread.

That is a fantastic idea damming the tubes... i did a little research way back when i got into this and tubes were an idea, but i never once herd anyone using a dam system to prevent dry out in a catastrophic pump failure.... the most anyone ever suggested was to ad a backup pump and switch loop and bla bla.... to much tech for me... But that is an F'n awesome idea to dam them.

I see that you have worked with some dwc before... how do the flooded tubes stack up against buckets? i have a feeling that the diffrence would be minimal since your tubes are flooded 24 hrs. just a different tek to the same end i suppose :clap:
now if you will excuse me, ive got some fresh honey oil screaming at me from the other roombongsmilie

Awesome. I remember you trying to figure it out. What did you do with the actual grow room?
SUCCESS!
Thats one thing i like about the tents, you can strip them down in 20 minutes. I took it all down hid everything in wardrobes and put a sofa that was in my bedroom where the tent was(mainly to cover up the massive ph down stain on the carpet) cooked some banana cake to cover any smell that there was.
