Hi!
No worries! I'm just glad someone replies
I probably was worrying too much, it's still growing fine, and the plants look healthy (apart from the ones i accidently put too close to the
cfl, which are slightly burned).
The water level is now about an inch from the pots and it seems to be working. However it seems the roots like growing in mid air, more than in the water. Above water they are white and fat and below water they are more "skinny".
My biggest concern now is that my chili plants are just producing buds and has virtually stopped growing. Anyways... thanks for the reply
