Question 1

How accurate are these yield estimates?

Accepted Answer

The estimates use published kg/m²/month ranges from field trials and are accurate within ±25% under good conditions. Actual yield depends on light, nutrition, temperature, and plant health — use the range shown as a planning guide.

Question 2

Which growing method gives the highest yield?

Accepted Answer

Aeroponics delivers the highest yield (up to 1.5× container baseline) because roots receive maximum oxygen and nutrient misting. Hydroponics averages 1.3×, aquaponics 1.2×, and container soil growing is the baseline at 1.0×.

Question 3

What are the easiest ways to improve yield?

Accepted Answer

Ensure adequate light (minimum 4–6 hrs of direct sun or 16 hrs of LED), maintain EC and pH within the crop's target range, practice succession planting to keep beds full, and harvest regularly to encourage new growth.
