So it's my first time growing I started with 5 gal smart pots with promix/Perlite/Dolomite lime. After starting I picked up a used oxygen pot bucket system and when watering became more frequent I dropped the girls into that system and it works great. I noticed right off the bat that the pots hold a couple inches of water when drained so I installed A.I.T. 9" Spyder air bubblers in the pots to keep the water aerating. My soil stays wet all the time watering once a day for 10 mins. Now my roots have made it through the pots and into the water. Am I better off leaving it as is or raising the pots so they drain completely? If I raise them should I keep pumping air into them? Will it hurt my roots if I take away that water? Is it okay to leave them in wet soil as long as I have air being pumped in? Any input would be appreciated. Here's a pic about a week and half since I transplanted them and they've been in wet soil for the entire time. I haven't noticed any I'll effects.
