I’ve seen folks put small eye hooks directly into the edges of the lid… so when you pick the lid up the whole plant moves. Have another bucket handy to set roots down into while messing with the main bucket…Its been topped and LST-ified as much as possible. One down side of the DWC is I don't have anywhere to tie to for LST besides the net pot. If I use the bucket lid, it will eventually force the netcup through the top of the lid. I can't attach to the bucket because then I wouldn't be able to remove the lid to access the roots or change the water.
I've been drawing up some sort of wood collar device with a bunch of eye bolts on it to tie off to that I could put in between the net cup and the lid of the bucket.
