This is a brief synopsis of the Rainforest 66 test run. Generally speaking, the units performed very well. In order to obtain a qualitative comparison, the same plants were grown in a DWC system with the same nutrient and lighting regime as the Rainforests. The plants, Tatsoi, Red Oak and Little Gem lettuce grew at a greatly accelerated rate in the Rainforests. I would conservatively say about 40-50% faster. No indications of nutrient deficiency or toxicity were noticed. The nutrients were not changed during the entire growing period, merely topped up.
