ok, that's good, but yes, if there's a lot of water splashing onto it, then it won't have a lot of time to dry up..
take the net-cup out and see how high the splashing can go.. then hold your hand there and see how wet you get.. then imagine the rockwool being a sponge to absorb it all..
i was quite surprised with my first DWC grow about that as well, so since then i put it, so only the highest splashes reach it..
in the first days I was worried that I actually had to monitor that the rockwool wouldn't dry up completely, but that never happened so far..
