EXPLOSIVE GROWTH November 16th, 2010

Wow!  I think the Mrs. and I both said it at the same time.  This is about double the growth I have experienced with soil for this type of lettuce.  The plants are now around 25-26 days from seed. 

I trimmed the tops of the basil to encourage more horizontal growth and to allow the lights to remain at a suitable level for the lettuce (about 2-4 inches from the bulbs).

I think we will begin harvesting the larger lettuce leaves over the next few days and now expect full harvest around the end of the month.
