Just thought I would mention that running it as a water culture would require the air stones be in the tubes with the roots. This so the bubbles can come in direct contact with the roots and would probably be a nightmare to maintain, especially with roots growing down into the stones and clogging them. Also, I agree that if the roots are getting the moisture they need there shouldn't be any need to be soaked. But maybe they knew there was a problem with the misting system and wanted to compensate for it.
