1400 Watt Indoor Garden, Soil, DIY NFT Hydroponics System

Getting an early start on our outdoor vegetables, Tomatoes, a wide array of herbs, cucumbers, and many different hot peppers. We've got about 20 more jalapenos, and around 40 flowers starting in the house under the heat lamp. The NFT Hydroponic System will be all organic, whatever we decide to grow in it. I plan on getting Advanced Nutrients Iguana Juice Grow and Bloom, which is one of the best organic nutes available for hydro systems because it's so soluble. I may put grapes up along the tube with the trellis. We were excited to do strawberries in the hydro system, but after doing some research, the only way to get producing strawberries quickly is to buy established plants. They can take up to 2 or 3 years before they are mature enough to produce fruit...if grown from seed. Anyway, fruit, or veggie, can throw some suggestions our way on what you think we should grow? Leave a comment below. Once we decide what we will grow, you can count on regular updates, to see i we are having any luck growing...whatever it is we decide to grow in the hydro system. lol. Thanks.

got a lumatek 1000 and those cfl's. garden is in the basement. i haven't bought the iguana juice yet but i'll post results for sure. atm i'm using cheap vitagrow abc, but it works pretty well. i threw some sweet mint, lemon balm, and oregano cuttings in the nft system to sprout roots, but i still have no clue what i want to grow in it. i've done lettuce and basil in the past. with a unit that size i'd prefer to grow one crop and have perpetual harvests. i'd like to grow to sell. suggestions?

Oh BTW, I'm using Advanced Nutrients Grow, Micro, Bloom and I'm seeing lots of clouding and sediment in both my water culture and NFT systems. Let me know if you see the same in yours with the Iguana Juice.

What kind of light/ballast are you using? That's a HUGE NFT for residential use. I would love to have that much room indoors!
