Answers:
use a drip feed system and you can just leave it.with this system you run to waste and your not using second hand nutrients which will be stripped of certin ingrediants every time its re-cycled (nft/ebb&flow)
you will need a growing medium because the roots don't like to be constantly flooded. (this is also true with cannibis)
remember, if using this method, you will need to flush with water for a week before harvest.
24/7 you should look into aeroponics
hmmm you want to grow them hydroponically. see your local hydroponic supply store. the can be grown without soil, but the roots have to be constantly in moving water. I saw a cool set up that used 4 inch perforated pipe with 3/4 in holes , one plant per hole and the water with nutrients circulated around and back into the pipe. just replenish the water as needed
