I've been long fascinated by hydroponics. I've watched similar companies launch for the past twenty years. The economics simply aren't there. When similar projects shared their numbers the yields they project are unrealistic. Or their production quickly exceeds the small market willing to pay a considerable premium for a better product.

The numbers work, sometimes with flowers yet these guys always try growing lettuce or tomatoes.



I wonder, does the higher price take subsidies into account? Any is it possible to grow any kind of produce? Ie. carrots and potatoes as well?
