2 Weeks into Vegetative stage. Water level is 2 inches below netted cups. Most of the plants roots are doing well in that they are growing both downward and sideways.
My problem is that a few of the plants roots are going straight down with little to no growth sideways. Should I raise the water level closer to the mesh pots in order to facilitate sideways growth for the few stragglers or will the root systems work themselves out at the same 2 inch water level.
picture shows plant roots for the front left plant which has good all-round root growth. The front right and back one shows how the roots are only growing down, not sideways.
