Isn't saffron simply the pistils/stamens of crocus? I can buy crocus at my local nursery all day long, too. Same with poppies (yes, those kind of poppies).
Herbs, well grown hydroponically, can net you a decent profit. I personally have found specialty and exotic lettuces/greens to be extremely easy to grow, have almost zero pest issues and because by simply allowing some to go to seed is all that's needed, I don't have to buy new seed every year. Cropping the lettuce quickly gives you microgreens.
I personally don't think any of these plants will require the kind of lighting a flowering plant needs, because you're not asking them to produce flowers, only vegetative, leafy material.
Wasabi. Real wasabi is extremely expensive. Most Americans, myself included, have never tasted real wasabi, what we get is horseradish with some green stuff in it, wasabi-flavored.Was wondering if there was a plant that one could grow hydroponically to warrant paying the power bill for 1-2K of lights. I suppose the first thing that comes to mind is orchids or something like that. I understand that you can't profit the same as one would from cannabis but I'm unable to grow MJ atm and still wanna grow hydro. It might seem like I'm chasing rainbows but I'm serious and basically only need to cover power and nutrients. thnx
