So my plants pushed through my pots really quick seeking water anyways now they are a good way down the bucket and I'm wondering doing still fill the buckets halfway (3 gallons) or do I go under the root mass
what about the ones that are only a few inches from the bottom? Finally can a decent chunk of the roots be under the water?

Eventually the roots will always be underwater from what I understand, so yeah the question is where do you put the water level once the roots go all the way down,

I would also like to know
