Q&A: Soy Beans


Can we grow soy beans in a hydroponics system without soil? And also do you know the biological clock for soy bean plants?

Don't know specifics on soy bean plants, though just about anything should grow hydroponically. There are short and long day soybean varieties though.

It's a bean, so you can do it. Rockwool works best with a continuous water system 3 hours on and 3 hours off. I'm currently growing beans in two Rubbermaid tubs (10 gallon). Lot of good beans that will be available to the Seed TEAM shortly. Again, the mixture is vermiculite, perlite, and a little top soil.

I have no experience with soybeans, but as John says, it is a bean.
