You can do better but you will never beat hydro
- jsilence 8y agoyield of hydroponic wheat is significantly lower than conventional production in soil. Prof. Bugbee and team worked on this at NASA.
- rorykoehler 8y agoThanks will check it out. Goes against everything I've experienced
- lightedman 8y agoThere are plenty of crops which are actually more wasteful and yield less (or hit an ROI wall which is unfavorable) when grown in hydro rather than in regular soil. Wheat is one, corn is another, barley is another (however, the two smaller grasses, just as fodder grass, are quite efficient when grown hydroponically and indoors, with a rapid turnaround time.) Hydro isn't a fix-all solution for crops.
