It actually makes more sense to grow vegetative plants in hydroponics and then switch to living soil for flower. Young, susceptible plants can benefit from a sterile environment and the logistics of large scale production in vegetative growth are easier in hydroponic production. Hydroponics...

These function don't cease in hydroponics, actually the plant produces more exudates in search of biology. Exudates are an essential part of the carbon cycle for organic growers, but exudates are a massive source of wasted energy that takes away from the yield.

Its mostly root exudates that have been dehydrated to salts. You can find this even more on living soil pots that use filtered water and no salts. In hydroponics, the roots waste 50-80% of its photosynthetic sugar through the roots. The plant uses them to acquire ions (CEC) but mostly to...
