Is this going to be a 'for profit' lettuce operations or for personal use/fun? If your blurples are in good shape, try to craigslist them and get half of what you paid for them back out... Ive tried lettuce a few times indoors and they look great till heads start to form then I run into problems. I think my issue may be a combination of too much light and not enough air movement. Probably would be easier to grow leaf lettuce than head lettuce. You can measure light intensity with an app for most smartphones, but its not a par meter and wont work for blurple, it will measure in lux, which isnt ideal but still gives you a good way to judge intensity changes as you adjust the lights, relative to plant distance or whatever. Id recommend going small till you get things figured out and then expand. Growing lettuce indoors isnt as easy as one would think.
