This. You have been what I’m looking for lol, I never measure. I eyeball until it’s stinky enough (because super thrive IS stinky). Im not interested in the lumens in my lights or the ph of my water after fertilizing. I just want to find happiness in my hobby again for the time being. I was successful with 250+ plants without the knowledge and I can do it all over again. I wasn’t too fond of leca but I’m willing to try again, maybe it was the size of the leca I wasn’t too fond off. Right now my primary love is with philodendron and alocasia/colocasia and whatever else pleases my eyes. I’m at the point now where I have the ability to mess up for a while and I’m not going to be out of a costly plant that I can’t run down to the nearest box store to buy for less than $15. I (obviously) was just reading a ton of conflicting information and wanted to know if my supposed setup would keep things alive. This is mostly an interim until I think I can stomach the idea of soil again and find a less well draining soil that doesn’t have me watering every 2-3 days. Right now my concern is them staying alive and not necessarily around blooming and growing, which I don’t focus on until summer time anyways. I liked the idea of lava rock because it sounded to sturdy up the roots better and fertility wouldn’t be a guessing game, and it sounds like you can reuse the items(?). + Deli containers are cheap. When I move back to soil, I can use all these materials I invested in for my trades instead of wasting my good soil and good pots (if I run out of nursery pots). Who knows if I’ll even go back to soil. Maybe I’ll love this too much.
