I have a question for you : are any of those plants herbs? Most look like greens, but I know that you use a lot of herbs there, and I have grown some Asian herbs hydroponically, though a couple didn't do well, attracting spider mites, though they never had this problem outside. Fortunately, basils didn't have any problems, and they are the ones that I use the most.

I guess he had a few batches in succession planting.
I'll have to try perilla again; it did not do well at all in my DW hydro, in the same one the basil did great in. And last summer it grew much better in the ground, than in a sub irrigated planter, which is sort of a form of hydroponics. However, rau ram did great in the sub irrigated planter, and this is the one the perilla just withered away in. I was thinking that the roots of rau ram were poisonous in some way to the perilla. Have you ever heard of something like this vietnamese gardener? I tried rau ram in my DW hydroponics, but both times they attracted spider mites horribly, so they weren't in there too long (same thing both times I tried rice paddy herb). As soon as the rau ram is removed, the bugs disappear off the other plants. Strange how some things do this indoors, yet I never have the problem outside!
