It seems the first place to start would be figuring out what trees to cultivate and preparing a future generation to continue your work.

I'm not trying to be a douche or anything, but I really need to get my post count up. How many is it to unlock my PM function?

Not hydroponically, no mushroom ever UNLESS you're discussing a coralllimorph that is known in the hobby and trade *as* 'mushrooms', because that's just what they look like.


Heh, I got me a GARF image <snerk> (industry thing)



Now, apparently you can buy truffle oaks or truffle 'starts', something like that. Apparently Napa and Sonoma just happen to have ideal truffle growing conditions, too. But I'd be willing to give planting some truffle oaks a try on my land if there's any chance at all that they'd grow. There's no way I'll try to cultivate hydroponic oaks, let alone truffles.

Mmmmmm MUSHIES! Love 'em. You cannot eat the above depicted, but they sure do make for some spectacular viewing, especially while high.

I'd say outdoors in a greenhouse NFT or Heath Robison style DWC Tubes....
Lettuce.
plant 1000 every week, harvest the same with 5000 growing at any given time.

$1.5-$3 a plant sold direct to gourmet restaraunts or supermarkets.

Those are pretty wild, Ms. SeaMaiden. Are those your own personal specimens?

No, but I've kept plenty that look like those. I didn't show all the colors and forms in which they occur. They're among the easiest marine invertebrates to keep, btw.

Very cool.

Opium poppies. If you could grow.enough of them...indoors...outdoors..gre enhouse...you could end up a very rich person..very quickly. As a matter of fact...(the former mexican drug cartel pot farmers alredy recently figured this out) i predict...as mj becomes legql and prices plummet...you will be seeing and hearing more amd more about domestic U.S.A. production of poppies for opium production.
