it isn't fancy. I use a utility pump and a couple of buckets. I put quick connect fittings on the hoses. There is a PVC pipe attached to the hose that goes to the bottom of the res. I fill up the buckets and then dump the solution.

Thanks allot for going through the trouble of taking pictures man... this really spelled it out for me as far as the unit goes... I didnt realize that the unit didnt come with some type of drain... Im not to convinced... also..the plants look heathy.. i cant say they dont... i was just wondering though...the roots... this says aero ...but it seems to me thats its more of a DWC with spray jets up top... do the roots live in nutrient solution? so air rocks and all that?
Im not knocking your system... please understand...just not what im looking for in the end... for me hot temps is a killer for a rez... it caused root rot last time so im scared to do that... the PVC or fence post aero will probably be what i end up building IF i try hydro again...lol.. Although again with those fence post aero/nft systems i feel that it doesnt allow rot growth space like this system would... so thats why i wanted to check it out... lol.... Sorry for the book...
So... are you going to try topping and fimming next time?... you saw that adding two plants per pot site wasnt hard.... Did you feel that the 6 inch pot sizes are overkill for this system?... Most aero system have 2" net ... I know you can get that model instead so thats why i was asking...
Sorry man well medicated here so im babling... good luck bud...

The unit has a hole that could be used to drain and fill in the lid but I think it is easier to dump the water in manually instead of reversing the pump to fill.
The unit is a hybrid of DWC and aero. It has a pump in the center the sucks up the water and spins to create a very fine micro mist. The roots at the very top are never submerged but they are bathed in the fine mist. You don't need air stones because the mister oxygenates the water.
Root rot from high temps is hard to avoid. I think that has more to do with the air temp in the room. One thing that can help is hydrogen peroxide. I add 2 oz per 5 gallons each time I change solution.

I don't understand your question 
for this scrog I vegged for 3 weeks before I started to flower. As tall as they are now I think I should have only vegged for 2 weeks.

Sensi Seeds lists flowering time at 50 to 70 days. My target is 9 weeks, so 63 days.

oh yeah... every day they get bigger and bigger
thanks beta... I love your avatar
the ones that are getting too tall, I have been tying down to the screen to lower them a couple of inches. It looks they are done going vertical and are filling out now. I will veg less next time.
