Can you DWC and SOG together?

I mean I know you can but how do you change your res once the plant is trained thru the netting?

If you look at this as an example; http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/851/trn1.png How do you change the res? Other than attaching the netting someway to the lid

thx!

Did you mean SCROG? And yes you can, you need an access hole in the lid. You can siphon or pump out the res. Or elevate the res a few inches and put a drain in the bottom.

Yes thats what I mean. I can see how having an access hole would help in re-filling but what about a complete res change?

do a search on NIMBY scrog. he was runnin a nice DWC scrog with c99

Yes it can easily. Set the res up with a drain, and add a fill port to the top. full flush is as easy as opening a valve.

when i ran dwc scrog style i used a a spare tub.

when time for a rez change i just lifted the lid, the attached frame and plants from the rez and sat it on an empty tub until the rez change was complete...

This is what I did. I have a drain valve at the bottom of my nutrient tank (which is just a six gallon tote bubbler)coming out the side. Filling is easy to If you make fill opening some where on the top that you can get to easily.

Or do it the old-school way.

Drop a hose in, run the hose to a drain that's lower than the tub (or outside) and siphon it out. Buy a pump later that just sits in there for draining.

Don't worry about the 'last little bit' of nutrient.. it's not going to interfere.

Stay Safe!

Edit: My dwc setups always have a top-fill in the lid.
