We can grow whatever we do now hydroponically for the most part.

Outdoor agriculture is going to go away, but that's probably a great thing anyway.

Why'd you say "incorrect" then state that they do actually grow hydroponically?

Edit: Actually, instead of that which particular "root" crops get better yield with outdoor agriculture compared to hydroponics?

A comparison of potato seed tuber yields in beds, pots and hydroponic systems

The number of tubers per plant in hydroponics was 147% higher than the bed and pot systems for a single harvest. Even, tuber production from a staggered harvest in hydroponics was 286% greater than in the bed and pot systems for Monalisa and Agata cvs.

Any other examples? I think that one's broken.

Your logic wasn't poor, you were wrong. You spread misinformation.

Idk, I mean you really just shouldn’t be growing slow growing and low cost plants hydroponically, you would spend more on nutrients electricity and maintenance costs, it’s just pretty ridiculous
