Our lettuce is diong well. We do not have the dramatic results of others, but we think we are headed in the right direction. Below is a photo of our plants.

Our plants are still doing very well. We noticed our water had gotten a little bit low but the plants still looked healthy. We will be uploading a updated picture soon.

We are seeing a lot more progress with the lettuce and it seems to be growing more each time we see it. The third cup is still behind but we hope to see it take off soon.

I don’t have a photo for our blog fans, but we did see quite a bit of growth in all 3 cups! I think the additional lighting has increased returns dramatically. I’ll post a photo of our progress tomorrow.

Other class members (who share our lighting area) noticed how much more growth there was in the other growing area. We checked the timers and found that the other light was on for 17 hours a day while we were scheduled for 12. We also have a light that moves on a track system, so one can argue that lighting is not as efficient in our area. (We’re located in the middle, so I think we’re okay.) I changed the timer to 18 hours per day. There was some advice that more than 18 hours a day of sunlight has diminishing returns and/or negatively impacts plant growth. I hope this makes a significant impact in our results. We’ll update on Tuesday. Have a nice weekend!
