How high?
How high?
Well, it seems like I figured out part of the problem, anyway. Today I noticed many roots coming out the sides almost of the medium rocks.
Now if you'll remember, my plan was to bring my water level only up to the bottom of my mesh pot, having the roots come out below. So I had the stem of the plant all in the medium with no light on it. Well I guess you can't do that because if the stem doesn't get any light it thinks it's underground, and starts growing roots! So since there's no water where these "stem roots" are coming out, the plants been using all its energy and getting no reward.
Hopefully I'll see some new growth now as I've put the water level up about a quarter of the way up the mesh pot.
Anyone have any advice on how high the water level should be relative to the mesh pot in a dwc setup?
