[QUOTE="Fruitbat, post: 7275736, member: 5802"] I've done a bit of VF in a former life. Experiences learnt: How easy is it to fill & plant with growing media, coir/LECA/substrate? But more importantly, how easy is it to clean and sterilise between crops? A new system is great, but once it's had a crop through it, with roots, growing media, algal growth and salt residues from the hydroponic solutions it has to be easy/quick to clean and clean well. You cannot afford to have any biomass carry over between crop cycles forming a pathogen bridge. Light is the second issue, even distribution of the correct wavelengths and avoiding shading.
