Starting a Serrano, a Hungarian cheese pepper, and a cherry tomato in my backyard!

I've mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don't have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!
Is there a certain pot depth you'd recommend? I imagine part of the reason is to prevent excess water wicking into the substrate in the pot, but would be concerned somewhat about accidentally air pruning roots in a gap.
2/3 of the container height is generally a good ballpark. You can also check where the air roots start and just stick to height lower than that.
