Good hydroponics produce mostly markets itself...
A tray of vine ripened tomatoes going to the Farmer's Market. We can even naturally lower their acidity so they are always firm and sweet. Everybody loves a good tomato.
When plants receive our perfect NFT Optimum Growth Variables, they yield fantastic harvests like four of these 26" Long English Cucumbers in addition to an average crop of 16" to 20" Fruits. Our Cucumber Plants grow up to 2½" per day. With Metal Halide lights our growing day is 20+ hours long. Our studies showed that giving our plants 4 hours per night of sleep in quiet, total darkness maximizes plant growth and production.
Our harvests do not require washing, because our greenhouses are dust-
A tray of average 20" Long English Cucumbers picked right from the vine and ready for market. Perfect colour, fruit texture, length, width, juicy, sweet, thin skins, and crunchy. Yummy!

Very firm Red, Yellow, and Green Sweet Peppers ripe on the vine. Their fruit averages 1/2"+ thick and full of good vitamins and minerals. The Life-out of this world. No sprays, no pesticides, no herbicides, no fungicides, no wax -
Incredible Green and Yellow Pole Bean Plants that grow 11" per day!! We sit back and have a coffee and watch them grow (½" per hour)! With Optimum NFT Growing Conditions we never loose a single flower on clusters with 8 to 16 beans each. New Research promises to increase our growth rates. People are always amazed when they see our giant plants at harvest time, especially in the middle of winter. Photo of Edward Thomas Sr. and NFT Pole Bean Clusters. Unlike field grown beans that toughen with temperature, humidity and wind extremes, our Greenhouse Grade AAA No 1 mature beans are not the least bit stringy; and they melt in your mouth just like early picked young green beans.
