Hydroponic? Drain to waste? Or just soil? Microgrow

[AdvancedFabs]

Hey guys,
I plan my next grow with just one plant. Strain: Fastbuds/Sexbud FEM. My Box is super small, and thats my choice. My first grow was a big one, I don't need the big yield so I plan to do a nice Micro-Grow.
As visible on the picture, the pot takes alot of space. I was also thinking if Hydro (drain to waste) would make sence. A system with this coco (cogr) with a rinse off system to drain. What do you think, does it make sence?

For plant management, I will top after the second node and then LST and SCROG. Any tipps are appreciated to manage this box and create a nice mini-grow

Best,
ADV

I top after the 5th or 6th node and cut off the bottom branches. Also if you're gonna go with that setup for coco your gonna need a pump or some valves. The way it's drawn, the rez will continue to drain out until it hits the tube inside. You can gravity feed but you're gonna need a shut off valve. If you put the rez below plant level, you can use a small pump and a timer
