The great thing about growing leafy greens is that you can actually do partial harvests during the growing period, so you don’t have to actually wait for 50 days to eat it.
If you look at the hydroponic growing setup, it seems that growing tatsoi hydroponically bring bigger harvest and trouble free growing (for the soil variant you can see how the Tatsoi is affected by the lack of moisture in the soil.
The seeds were planted directly in the netcups, so it’s very easy to start them.
