Finally the first commercial-sized hydroponic table is in and ready to be filled. The near side features 6" spacing to accommodate lettuces and celery. The far side of the table has 4" spacing that we will be using to grow herbs like basil and cilantro. The 4" spacing is also suitable for other things like onions, radishes, beets, etc. This system is capable of producing 120 heads of lettuce and 180 herb plants every six weeks, or 20 heads of lettuce and 30 herb plants each week if plantings are staggered. If this entire house was filled with these channels, there would be 1,200 heads of lettuce or 1,800 herb plants produced every six weeks.
