Although yes kind of a confusing conversation but I get it lol. Your sick of soil lol. Not sure how it all got directed towards DWC but anywho lol. There are lots of hydro setups that, after a bit of getting to know your system, can be quite hands off. I was where your at 4-5 years ago and decided to try something that had, relatively speaking, instant results to any changes. I picked a flood and drain type setup. There are pluses and minuses to all systems so do some reading and come back with some specific questions re a couple of the setups you are contemplating. I now use spray heads and totes which seem to work well for me and very stable. Be prepared to chill you water if you are going full on hydro, trust me on that one lol.
