Wow! Yours are way fuller. Honestly i messed up a few things this first lettuce challenge that throws my findings off a bit.
One major one was neglect & overwhelming amount of indoor letti for too long. They were drying out fast. I was constantly finding wilted leaves & whole letti that don't snap back like a pott plant.
Its been 45 days since planting or sprouting our seeds already? If so I'm way off cuz I'm over here thinking i can still transplant the Amare + HGL, 6" potts. The Grean Bicycles arrived super quick again. I don't know how he does it. Big Thanks To Patrick!!!
Few mess-ups by me the first time veggie grower:
- planted wrong, meaning i had to thin out lettuce rather then cut surrounding. Did not know those roots shot down so fast in the 16oz. Cups & accidentally chopped the first x8 or so down to an 1" or maybe 1.5" with a spoon, scooping when i should have dumped the whole cup out to thin them, leaving fullest roots as possible. They break easily too.
- Did not increase the ppfd by 50 to 100 until the other day. Not sure if the spot light section increased or decreased but removing the 3k for the winged high K may have been a mistake, reducing chances for bigger lettuce maybe. Allot less red.
- Wrong transplant pott size out of the cups.
This aint pott plants vegging for x2 months, ya know! Haha! Guess i didn't, even know i did. Lol!
Last but not least
- I suck!
But we'll deffinetly go at it again right after this. And this time I'm going x2 spectrums of my choice as its obvious plain white LED's are out of the competition. I did not even give them the full chance cuz i added the purple thingies. But they are very full as are the HGL. Making them both look like a high-density scrumptious treat but not full wrap letti. Small potts did not help.
Barely had time to write that so will get a tape on them asap.
Nice Lettuce bro. We know T-5 nails it.
