Soy Beans Man.... Soy Beans

*edited*

Okay, so still working on the other blog I said I was working on last week.(Have to change stuff maybe image) However, I was having this conversation with a friend about soy beans, and it turns out they grow really well in minimal sunlight, nutrients, and work. I am pretty lazy and there is a much bigger market for soybeans than lettuce.(Soybeans are the fifth most produced crop in the world) Soybeans provide many mroe nutrients, provide far less plant waste problems, and require the least amount of work from me. More to follow once I look through more info about soybeans... Plus, my solar panels can only gather so much energy, so I would prefer to spend minimum amounts on lighting. A problem with soybeans though is that they take quite a bit of time to grow, so I will have to figure out exactly what they mean by harvesting your plants. All in all though, if I can get past the time restrictions, soy beans remain my top choice over lettuce because they can self-pollinate and a light breeze from mini-acs(probably evaporation based) should be enough to help with the few flowers.

    Well, for their weight they are pretty expensive and they are super easy to grow. So in terms of this project, they'd be nice to have because I could worry about other stuff then.

    My only exposure to soybeans is at festivals when the SO lets me go, which hasn't been that often lately.  You know somebody who is in the market for relatively small quantities of soybeans?

    Hopefully, I'll start the model and just make it bigger by the end of the week, since aquaponics requires at least a few weeks to get set up on the living parts
