GMSgrowsanswered grow question 3 years ago You can drill a hole near the bottom of the planter/bucket, install a spout with flow shut off, attach some hose and run to a drain. No drain then connect the hose to a cheap inline water pump and pump the solution out. I always tried to make things as easy as possible. Dwc and rdwc can be a pain in the butt, so the more automated the better.
