Aero cuttings

I've build one of the bubble propagators. Can anyone tell me where the water level should be? My bubbles splatter the lid (total wet in 3 mins). When I first take the cuttings are they meant to have their tip IN the water? If so do I lower the water level once the ball up?
Cheers peeps

water level should be below the stems, bubbles should splash them for water. submerged stems results in longer rooting times.

Cheers m8. I take great care not to leave the cut tip exposed to air to stop the capillary action (or whatever its called) from fooking up so seemed strange to the hang them in mid air. &~

that whole cut underwater thing is bogus babe :p. i use dirty scissors (that aren't very sharp), i never cut underwater, etc. i use peat to root, in nothing more than a (not sealed) clone dome. 100% strike rate. this isn't ideal, but it is cheap, and no maintenance, and entirely effective. i'll never use more power than a flouro for clones.

clones are much simpler than these forums make it out to be... ;)
