PLANT SPACING : 1 inch centers
Special nutrient requirements: None
Growing time to harvest: (after transplanting) Summer: 5 weeks. Winter: 6 weeks. Number of harvests: 5 +
Yield: Summer: 2 lbs per 5 ft. NFT trough. Winter: 1 lbs. per 10 ft. NFT trough.
Light: Full sun, grows poorly in low light and generally succumbs to fungus.
SUPPLEMENTAL LIGHTING: 700 ft. candles at bench; 14 hors/day during short day months will help, but loss to infection will occur.
