Well, in my inside bubbler (DWC) system I had 8 plants. That yeilded enough for a family salad (for 4 adults) once a week and a salad for myself once to twice a week mixing it with some store bought spinach since mine didn't make it. I only took 40% of the plant at any given time as I read somewhere. I planted in early June and just last week took out the plants as they bolted.


This is the only picture I could find of my inside system. Notice how they are laying over. They had dampening as sprouts from being too wet but I decided to let them go and see what would happen. They still provided very tasty leaves and grew like crazy. They eventually grew up into the light; it was an interesting experiment.
