So far I have a Kratky system for growing some leetuce and basil, but I started expanding as soon as saw the first leaf, because you are so right about this improving your mood. I've planted some dill and, more importantly, habanero peppers. I can probably keep the dill alive in a Kratky system, but I'm going to have to go DWC for the peppers, which is why I'm trying to get used to sleeping with the sound of an air pump.
For context, I live about as far north as Anchorage, Alaska. That means the sun is about to pretty much disappear for a few months, This is the worst time imaginable to start growing anything. but it wil help my mood when I inevitably miss the daylight completely some days.
You can do krakty peppers although they won't be as productive. I'm currently growing some out of jam jars and old yoghurt containers in soil with just the light from my window but you could use them to soak up excess rays from your lights.
