oh yeah and im using tap water
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 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...
nice man, I work in London and live just outside of it.......work with around 20 Chicago boys so it was ribs all round at work today, happy 4th JulyIt'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.
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.oh yeah and im using tap water

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 can't tell you what others do in their tubes, I'm not too familiar with how anyone else does it.

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.
Moved them out in boxes into a van for an hourHow did you hide them? I forget
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.Awesome. I remember you trying to figure it out. What did you do with the actual grow room?
SUCCESS!
