I want to run some small tests with some very fast growing plants,
preferably edible. Any suggestions what vegetable/herb would be most

For fastest growing edible plant I nominate lettuce and for the fastest herb
basil. Both are available in many varieties, including dwarf forms, and both are
easy to grow.
