Gorgeous setup!

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.

Beautiful set up and very healthy looking plants. How long does it take to raise a crop of basil and perilla to be ready for market and how many pickings do you get before you need to pull the plants.
Happy gardening in Hawaii. Gardens are where people grow.

Thank you very much for your attention. Basil and perilla takes me around 60 days to havest (not included nursery periods, about 2 weeks). We just harvested once only for Basil and three or four pickings for perilla, and then start the new crops.
Have a nice day.
Best regards.

I remember seeing a TV show on hydroponics, with a guy growing only basil on one part of it, and he said that he would get 5 harvests from a planting - he could get 7 or 8, but the output reduced, so he settled on 5, and would have a new batch ready for harvest, when that one was done. 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!

I would get at least 3 harvests from a basal but I noticed that it would be fresh longer (about 3-4 weeks in the fridge after havested) if I kept the roots, so it is the reason why I just harvest once only.
As I can see, perilla and rau ram would do well in NFT hydro. And I never have or heard that the roots of rau ram were poisonous to the perilla or some thing as you mentioned.

Thanks. Good to know that rau ram is not poisonous. Must have just been something wierd with that one perilla plant.

As I can see, perilla need much of sunlight to growing well.

Looks really good. Very nice and productive. It is very clean. That is important to keep the plants healthy. Do you grow any tomatoes or cucumbers or do you only have a rail system? Do you have to heat or cool to maintain optimum temperature in the poly house?
