You and me both! I went from DWC and close to an hour of work per day to topping up a res once a week. I'm a lazy grower!
My more recent grows have been hand-watering at 3 or 4 days, this one is more aggressive at every other day...which is about enough for me. If I were doing fully hydro/coco, I'd definitely blumat or other system all the time so I didn't have to put in the hours. My schedule is to mix 24 hours before (since I use dry salts) and then pH right before feeding the next day. I've got it down to about 40 minutes each feed day.
