hi, i have an NFT system and have a plant that is growing really well. the roots are NICE and white and look healthy....however, there are LOTS of roots to where it is making the water back up and fill up the gully to about 1/2 inch of water, i'm afraid this will saturate the roots too much. AND my baskets in my NFT system are hanging and are 1/2 inch above the bottom of the gully so this backup of water is not only saturating the roots, but also has potential to soak my rock wool..maybe. are you supposed to trim the roots? i dont' want to do that.... the gully is 2 feet long and i lifted one end to 1/2 inch (2% slope). i don't think i want to make my decline more than that do i?

if anyone has any suggestions or comments on what to do, or not to do, with these massive roots, i would love any remarks.
