    When you have new seedlings it matters. Ideal is so that the bubbles are just getting the planting medium wet. Once you have roots, its not so critical, better too low than too high in my opinion.

    Thank you for the replies. I lowered my water level from about an inch over to just below the net pot. I'm just trying to sprout at the moment and realized all I need is a soaked piece of rockwool and let the roots chase the water.

    I will add a bit to this info, the small air gap between the net pot and the water, is the first place to get any unwanted attention from bad bacteria. I alway's keep my water an 1" above the bottom of the net pot, sure it drops bellow it a few inches, but on the next fill up it goes back up the net pot. In my experience it helps to keep covering the bottom of the net pots. Even more so if you use bennifical bacteria, as it will let them get right into the rootball, inside the net pot.
