This course is a good match for me. It covered the basics with quick and easy-to-understand information. What I appreciate about the course is it actual steps to follow during the process and the calculations behind what makes a hydroponics farm profitable.

Incredibly informative, clearly articulated, and supplemented with in-depth costings. Well worth the money and time.
