I harvested everything but needed to throw some out as there were black spots starting. I am going to clean the unit and replant. I let all the lettuce go with what was happening with my precious pup. Then afterwards, I was too upset to worry about it. So now I will start afresh and adjust dates.

HarvestCut a substantial amount of lettuce for dinner.
This morning I harvested a nice amount of lettuce for dinner tonight. It has been loosely wrapped in a damp towel. As you can see it in a towel and in a bowl (harvest in background for comparison) and after I trimmed.

TrainingMoved the late-germinating pod to the left side.
Well I am glad I left the pod there. It FINALLY came up. I moved it over to the left side this morning. Now all are up and growing at different speeds.

Differrent speeds is GOOD...for lettuce harvesting!
S
Ok, 2 weeks in and I FINALLY figured out why my lettuce is so slow. I forgot to plug the pump in. So the pump is now in and it should grow better.

Oh UR not alone..I have done that!

Some are growing faster then others and I left the one dead pod there hoping maybe it will grow. I did not look in it before the pictures and still have not but will.

Looks like the Dragoon is growing faster. Was that a David's Pelleted seed?

Lettuce is growing. Some are almost up to the labels.

All the lettuce has germinated except for one of the Little Gems. I will not replant. I will leave that spot open for easier water fills.
