I started with bottled synth nutes, did 1 grow and I hated having to ph correct my water, what a pain, and then flushing was a big pain and never really did it correctly because I would have needed like 21 gallons per plant or something like that and there was no source where my plants were, I had to carry it all in. My main nspiration to find and switch to the Kit was Shiggity Flip and his rediculous fost covered plants, then kept finding more and more like that. In case you are not aware just to mention a few Kit growers that will help you decide with a look at their results, of course Doc, Duggan, Stage, Buckshot, Colorodo Kid, the Dealer, Born420, Darkscotia, Radogast, the GreenYeti, Overlord, Neikodog, Gazoo, newbies like Dajerm, CannaDad, Rich Farmer, eggsman and Lady Gaea are killing it. There ar so many more, sorry if I left you out.
