Hi RIU!
I'm now running my first DWC setup, with pretty satisfactory results. But i'm having a little issue... the roots are growing fine, no rot at all, and they grow pretty fast. But they don't get submerged into the water. It's like they stop growing when they get close to the water. It's weird. I tried bringing down the water level about one inch, and they quickly grown into that inch, but stay out of the water. I'm using a 40 liter cooler, with about 30 liters of water, and 4 airstones connected to 2 9.5l/min air pumps. I'm thinking that there's not enough dissolved O2 in the water, does that makes sense? I keep water temps around 20degrees and treat it with H2O2 every a few days. What do you think?
Thanks!
