i would use the plain green pea= it grows fast and easy- they are reliable growers. thats why Mendel used them for his experiments!

I’d prefer rice for hydroponic experiments… the roots can stand the low oxygen tension typical for static hydroponic experiments.
Most common legumes do poorly under those conditions — one of the Sesbania species is probably your best choice. Do you need nodulation for your experiment?
