 DWC/Net Pot question

So if you are doing a scrog with a DWC setup, how do you change the water or take it out to clean it and add nutrients? I saw someone pick the whole thing up root and, all and place it in another empty bucket while he worked. That makes sense i get it, but what do you do it you have a giant plant? can you only crop it with no trestle? use a different system?
Also, what size net pot top would i use for my 5 gallon bucket? i see 6,8, and 10 inch net tops.

thanks a lot for everyone's help! I also brew homebrew. I have 5 gallon buckets at home with drains on the bottom for bottling your beer. the spout is about an inch or so above the bottom of the bucket. would that still work even though there will be some old water leftover? I'd have to tilt it to get it out. also it's white. I'm not sure if that's acceptable since it's not a dark color and may let light in

So do you just follow the nutrient feeding schedule given on the bottle? for example, the fox farm shows the PPM being at a certain level for a certain week, such as 1050-1190 for week 2. do i only make the nutrient level reach that point once, and then let it go until the next feeding? would i change/drain the water 11 times for a 11 week grow? let me know if i need to clarify my questions at all! and thank you everyone, i do appreciate the help.

so do you only add nutrients once a week? when you say top off do you mean just water or water and nutrients?
