MrPuffAlot said:why not just have the water level a INCH from the top or half way up the
net pot??
isn't the whole theory of DWC is to have the roots in deepwater??
allgrownup said:I keep my water level below my netcups 1-2 inches. never up past the netcups. you do not want your water level decreasing to low. it IS important to keep your water level consistent once it reaches the desired level. this desired level is up to you. I let my roots "chase" the water level down to about 3-4 inches below and keep steady right there adding water/nutes frequently. i run 3 pumps, 6 lines, 6" airstones.
if your water is not boiling, splashing, creating humidity, you do not have enuf airation IMO.

i cant even top the water off in my mothers buckets. they cant even handle more than 1-2 gallons in there. any more and they bust out with roots over nite and im stuck having the trim the next day.
just keeping it at a good spot consistantly is fine, dont bust out a ruler the roots will find where they need to be
