The lettuces continue to put on mass. The red colors in Yogoslavian Red (heading lettuce) are showing up nicely but it’s also the slowest growing. And I cannot see a visible difference between Australian Yellow and Simpson Elite (with toothpicks).
I split the soil cubes between two flats to give them more room and now I do a littly dosie doe with the flats every day to move the outside lettuces closer to the light. Fertilized again; I will drop back to once a month now, I think.
Just to recap, for people who stumble accross this post first: Lettuces planted 10/23; sprouts show by 10/27; lights out and no heat 10/29-11/3; put under LED array on 11/8. See Week One and It Begins for more history.
I ordered some “Red Sails” from Pinetree Seeds, an easier red leaf lettuce and I’ll start my next batch as soon as they arrive. Hopefully, this weekend.
