This is an inventory of what I've achieved over the last couple months. I started with the first DWC kale about three months ago, which has been producing for over 2 months now, 5 lacinato kale plants and 1 genovese basil growing prolifically. I started growing microgreens with no soil which has been decently successful with several challenges, primarily anaerobic rot and mold requiring me to learn to use hydrogen peroxide and doing water swap at the key stage between soak and germination before light phase, carefully managing water level. I set up my 2nd DWC which is purely tropaeolum of three different varieties, 2 empress of India, 1 Alaska mix, 1 Jewel mix. Most recently I just built the v2 microgreens shelving you can see has the tall speckled peas at the top, and the old v1 is now a great 6 shelves for storage on the left. The 10 gallon storage tote with water pump has been a great way to experiment on a small scale, I'm pretty sure I could scale this and produce a huge amount of greens with very little maintenance in a couple months. I like the idea of keeping things modular and separate.
