You can use any of the net tops. It doesn't really matter.
The easiest way to go about this is to do and RDWC. Then you just change the reservoir, and you don't have to bother the plants whatsoever.

The size of the pot does not correlate to the size of root mass in a DWC system. I used 4 inch pots and my container would be completely full with roots.

The problem is they aren't dark. Just go to the hydro store, they'll have the buckets and can put a drain in the bottom of it for ya right there. Or you could paint the outside of your bucket with black paint.
And inch or two of water at the bottom is no big deal.

Those orange buckets aren't light proof. I would still paint them black if using for hydro applications.

Yes you need to drain and refill it every week for the best results. During the peaks of flowering you will need to top off for sure. The plants can use a lot of water.
I personally never go by what the labels say. I start with half the recommended, especially since you don't know what you are doing yet.

You have a bit of research to do before doing this man.
Yes you change it out once a week, water and nutrients at that time. And you top off with a nutrient water solution throughout the week as needed, to keep levels at optimum.
