Fast plants are brassica rapa. This variety has been bred to be "fast" You
can simply buy the seeds from them, you don't really need the "kit". Seeds
are less than $10 a pack. I did just that. Used my own soil, pots,
fertilizer, etc. Have a growth chamber with the lights mentioned. They
have a web site with a lot of the info on it anyways. Take a look at that
and find out the reqs for light, that seemes to be the biggest factor.
Good luck,
