Changing water in DWC with Sea of green method.

Hey guys,
I have been growing for a while now i started with a simple bucket and air bubbles inside and changing water was fairly simple just remove the plant drain water and re-add new water with nuts or ph etc.

Then i upgrade to a res where i can easily drain the water without touching the plants as i have them in a scrog so i cannot just lift the plant since its being held up by strings and im scared if i keep lifting the plant i will just damage the duds.

However recently i kinda got over the res, sometimes root clog the pipes, then my pumps get damaged cuz there is no water to suck up and also pumps are extra elec etc etc. I dont want to spend more money on larger pipes cuz then ill have to replace everything which will cost me allot of money.

So i wana try get a large box bucket thing (like this guy at time 6:30) and just have bubbles inside. However im back to my first problem about growing in scrog and unable to life the plant to replace water with new nuts or change ph etc.

Right so now you all caught up my question is: do you have any suggestion where i can grow in this box bucket and change water easily without removing the plant?

2 things:

wet dry vacuum. cut a small hole in the lid for an access point

install a drain line on the side of the tote outside of your tent to a floor drain (if you have one)

Ahh, why didnt i think of this..thanks for your suggestion !

Or even easier, build a small 3-5" stand out of 2X4s and have it angle down and over to one corner just ever so slightly. Possibly even just build the stand flush and throw a few wooden shims under it. Anyways, then Install a drain on that corner and you'll be able to drain the entire thing.

Drill powered pump

This is how I solved it. It's so comfortable and easy to do. The piece is for gas facillity, I found it very solid.

Sillicon for the hole.

That's the solution right there. Use it when you need then pack it away. No bulky pipes and tables and whatever else is suggested

Ya those are sweet. I'd have it setup where there's barbs on the ends though to make it easier to use.
