My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I am growing lettuce under lights. The lettuce is growing great but the leaves are really limp-almost unedible. The plants look great, however. What should I do?
Do they need a fan on them to make them 'stronger'? Do I need to place the lettuce into cold water after harvest for a time (how long?)? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
What sort of lights are you using? Some details about your growing setup might help diagnose the problem.
I grew some yummy salad lettuce under fluorescent lights. Tips: Keep the tops of the plants close to the lights; harvest a few young leaves (4" long or less) frequently rather than waiting for mature heads to form; keep them cool and well-ventilated; feed with a balanced organic fertilizer. I grew mine in clay pots, which may have helped keep the roots cool and aerated, and had the lights on about 16 hours per day.
If all else fails, you could try a different variety of lettuce. Try sowing some that's sold for "cutting."
