Manage a Herd, Not Pets
I grow lettuce indoors year round for a family of 5 (sandwiches, tacos, hamburgers and salad) using Kratky hydronponics. But it’s not all sunshine and lettuce: Some yummy lettuce varieties bolt during indoor summer temperatures (think 24/7 AC for several months at 78° F). Decreasing germination rates because it can take a long time to go through multiple seed packets (I try to have multiple lettuce varieties available). Long lead time (40+ days) to grow lettuce plants to maturity.
