Rebel Farms uses a variety of experimental systems for hydroponics and in most both aerates and heats water systems with aquarium type equipment. All seedlings are grown on a table system which sprouts plants in the pots they will occupy all their lives. Each pot is filled with perlite and then washed to remove any extra perlite. Perlite is used as a media because it does not affect water quality. The salad greens are then put into hydroponic grow tubes and grow to an age of approximately 3 to 4 weeks, and then brought to the main market where they are picked for three to four more weeks for salad greens, Currently 14 greens are being grown for salad.
