I spent more time with soil than I do now with Hydro.
It used to take me a long time to water 25 plants. I always checked the soil with a meter first to make sure it needed water. Then I hand watered each pot. It's not too bad when the plants are small but when they get big they really start sucking the water down.
The plants still use lots of water but it's easier to fill one large reservoir than 25 small pots.
I do all my hydro chores in less than 15 minutes (with adjustments). That's with 4 reservoirs. If I had just one res, I could do it all in less than 5 minutes.
Then I just stand around for another 20 minutes in awe at the beauty of the plants. You guys ever go into your room and just set there? I love just hanging out around the girls, touching them, smelling them. You know what I mean? I'm a fukin pot pervert! By harvest time I know each and every one of my plants. I always feel bad when It's time to cut them.
With the right tools and nutrient formula hydro is too easy.
