Strawberry Cough AUTO DWC

I am using 11 liters of water, so the bucket is only half full of water, I wanted the roots to reach down rather then stay submerged in Nutrient water. Plant seems to be taking well to the stress, But I am not gonna be doing LST on this plant, it's rather small and bushy which my grow tent could handle. Plus the stem is pretty thick to bend it now. Should've gotten to it sooner.
