Odd grow setup. Need advice.

I normally top feed over rockwool and drain to waste. I keep reservoir outside tent to keep temps low. Usually I throw up a scrog net just before flower to control head space and increase canopy surface area.

Ok on the the odd setup. I decided to flower my mother after taking this batch of clones. I am curious what is the best method to maximize my setup...

The mother is in a 5gal bucket with a netpot full of hydroton and plant sits in a rockwool (DWC). My current idea is to...
A.Trim the bucket to maximize head space (light is high as possible currently).
B.Top feed drain to waste out of the bottom of the bucket. The bucket is basically to hold netpot and contain roots.
C. Add airstones in the bucket to maximize oxygen. Roots will basically hang in high humidity environment and get water a few times a day. Maybe leave a 1" space from drain for water.
D. Resevoir will remain outside to decrease temperature.

Once i start flower don't want to deal with moving around the bucket as plant will be locked into scrog net. I also don't want reservoir in grow tent as I have a 10 degree difference outside and inside tent.

Any improvements on this idea without having to redesign the entire system? I will be going back to my normal setup after this...
