Hydro is not very forgiving like soil. I love & grow hydro. Hydro needs daily attention for light adjustments Co2 is a big plus. The plants will grow an inch a day or much if you have good additives.

Every week I change my nutrient out for 4 resevoirs and this is what it entails for each one.

Scrub out all the sediment in resevoir
Clean drain and fill lines
Clean pump and filter
Take plants out of planter tray
Scrub out all the sediment in planter tray

Then put it all back together, and putting in fresh nutrient.
When putting in fresh nutrient, it entails alot of measuring & weighing.
I have 12 different items that I have to mix for my vegetative resevoirs.
I have 16 different items that I have to mix for my flowering resevoirs.

When growing in soil, you don't have to go through even half of what I
through. For soil all you need is a dust buster.

12 different additives!!!!
16 different additives in flowering?!!
Please explain because all i need is flower and bloom nutes, cal-mag plus, liquid karma, and h202 and im happy with that.
Your right on the work part, cleaning resevoirs out is a bitch! i keep empty cleaned resevoirs on hand and just pull a switch when cleaning.
