Widely used in hydroponics, synthetic nutrients work on all systems because they tend to have less particulate matter clogging equipment, it pairs well with coco coir and contains higher nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium values than organics.

Synthetic nutrients are the most common nutrients in the hydroponics industry, and in the food that we buy and eat at the grocery store. These nutrients work well with all hydroponics systems, and can often be used in coco coir and soil in some cases. As synthetic nutrients are said to work well with hydroponics systems, they tend to have less particulate matter and higher N-P-K values then organic nutrients, making the nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium more readily available to the plants immediately.
