I found it does but enviroment and light source make a bigger difference. Sone stuff ive seen does finish a week or so faster in hydro but i wouldnt nake tge broad claim everything would
Keeping thigs super broad and general, yes Hydro is faster than soil. For the most part soil will be the slowest method of growing. I would say going from slowest to fastest grow methods would be soil>coco>hydro>aeroponics

Hello all.
New to IC sorry to ask this but was unable to fine where i can post my questions
Ive moved up to 1500 gal fir several commercial growers in 100 to 112 degrees.

I use cal mag every other tea brew. I need help in amounts of these ingredients for 1500 gal batches. Im looking for end game of soil vigor micros, but to not have to add and salts or solvents and go solid with just these teas.

What's the purpose of this tea? To supply nutrients? To increase microbial activity and biomass?
If it's for the latter, then you would want to reduce your ingredients down to just compost and molasses and make sure you have adequate aeration.
If it's just for nutrients, then I would say that it really depends on the quality of your soil and what the plant may actually need. I wouldn't be adding cal-mag for example, without a soil test or obvious calcium or magnesium deficiency. I don't like cal-mag at all really because it's the wrong ratio of ca to mg and I much prefer to add these ingredients separately based on a soil test.
