Cool, thx. Also, do roots do fine under water or do you lower the water in your res to allow more room? Pretty newb question I know but this IS my first time in hydro.
Here are some pics of my roots, plants are about a week apart:

As long as you have air going to the water roots will be fine.

Your roots looks great.
You're running DWC, so they're likely to grow out into the water.... this prevents the growth of the fine (fuzzy) roots that you'd you see in true high-pressure aeroponics -- and sometimes when cloning in domes.
Roots only feed from the very tips, so the more lateral growth, the better.

From the tips of the root hairs...which are located all over the roots.

correct the tips are not only at the very end of the roots, look closely and ull see all down the string of roots there are many little tips that branch off. they breath and drink from all of these.

white roots are the best roots, and it looks like you've got em.

Yeah, it's called lateral growth....
And DWC inhibits this compared to true aeroponics.
