hydro is super easy once it's dialed in. A bit of an investment too. But now I only check my water once a week, it takes 5 minutes. I don't bother with whole rez changes or trying to up my nutes as much as possible. I just keep it around 3-400 PPM veg. and 800-900 PPM for flower. So easy, I don't even open the closet but once most weeks.
