How do you water them?
Do you have to take them out?
And how about training?
Once they start filling up the space, how do you do things that require you to reach down into the bottom?
And when they get really big, how do you get the top tub back on after taking it off? Don't the plants have a tendency to spread horizontally beyond the rim of the bottom tub?
once the plants are about 8in high i attach the scrog screens to the pots, i set up the cab for 3 plants, and built the screens to fit the space. They are made from 1/2in pvc with hemp twine as the screen. The first grow i just taped the legs of the screens to the pots, on future grows i will probably zip tie or screw them. To water them i just lift out one plant at a time and water/feed, then put them back. I didnt have any problems with this method for a whole grow (even when they were in full flower), and it makes for easy flushing. The 1.5 inches or so of wasted space covered by the ring of the lid is irrelevant because thats where the pvc from the screens goes around the edge. To remove the top, i simply lift from the top large tub's handles. Toward the last week of flower the buds were so heavy they were all falling over, to keep from squishing them in the lid/tub intersection i just flopped them away from the edge.
I hope that explanation and pics answer your questions
