Mid stage vegging and roots extend to bottom of tank and float in the water. Should I keep as little water in the tank as possible still allowing the bubbles to work? Lets say 3 inches above the stones or is that not enough?

This is a 36 gallon Res.

The water should be right at the bottom of the pot.
Either scimming across the bottom or no more than a 1/4 - 1/2 inch in the water.
Unless ur doing RDWC with sprayers.

I know when they are small and developing roots that the water is 1 or 2 inches below the net pot with the bubbles keeping things wet however not when several weeks in vegging.
Someone knows the correct answer please state it.

Anyone else have an opinion?

The water should be about an inch below the net pot at the full level
