Basil would probably do wellI really don't have any experience with hydroponics. My knowledge base is organic gardening. As far as something that can handle Texas heat, lettuce is going to be hard to grow. It really hates heat. You can grow baby lettuce, but don't let it get large, because it will get bitter.I'm thinking tomatoes and peppers are going to be the best to do with the heat. Swiss chard is a good green for heat.

cilantro grows like a weed, all the parsleys are quickDefinitely leaning towards the herbs. Think I might go with a mix of basil and some greens. Just want to pick some fast growing varieties.

lolProperly timing the transition from 24-hour constant light to a 12/12 photoperiod is critical.Wait, what?

If I am not mistaken, within one mile is "close enough" for bees.Now if I can figure out a way to get one of my bee hives close enough to help pollinate it.

I'd thing bluegill would be good as wellGoing to go with Tilapia myself due to their heat tolerance, though it gets colder than a well diggers ass in the winter here so I'll see how they weather that. Going with a nutrient film design for the first 2 segments and then build a larger ebb and flow system for some tomatoes in some net pots once I get all the plumbing worked out. The part slowing me down is I'm building a monitoring system to alert me when control points get out of whack so I can have one of the crew or myself onsite quick enough to take care of it. I work a IT field support job by day supporting a large geographic area so I am in and out of the area but there are others onsite that can help me out with it if I let them know what needs doing.Now if I can figure out a way to get one of my bee hives close enough to help pollinate it.
