The Hydroponic Crop Guide

Most first grows fail before the water is even mixed, because the plant was never a beginner plant. Choosing the right crop changes your odds more than any gear you can buy.

  • 10 crops ranked easiest first, from microgreens you can harvest in 7 days to cherry tomatoes
  • Every crop gets its exact pH, EC, daily light hours, days to first harvest, room temp, and best system
  • One beginner watch-out per crop: why romaine turns bitter above 75F, why June-bearing strawberries look healthy and never fruit
  • Printable spec cards you tape to the shelf instead of digging through forums mid-grow

10 crops, fully spec'd

Each of the 10 best beginner crops comes with its exact pH range, EC target, light hours, and days to harvest, so you know what to grow first and how to get it right.

What to grow first

The crops are ranked by how forgiving and fast they are, so your first grow is a win, not a write-off.

Printable spec cards you can tape to your shelf and check at a glance instead of digging through forums.
