Hydroponic Lettuce
Hey everyone, Good morning from the Philippines!
I just wanted to let you guys know that I have successfully continued my journey as a gardener by using hydroponics as my chosen planting method.
I sowed using cube foam as medium and masterblend lettuce as my nutrient solution.
Ph = 6.0
Ec = 1.4 (mb lettuce = 1.2 ec, Magnesium Sulfate = 0.05 ec
Calcium Nitrate = 0.15 ec. total of 1.4 ec)
I sowed 24 more lettuce seeds the day before yesterday (December 10) to make a total of 48 lettuce heads for next month's harvest.
I hope they all survive, I'm expecting at least 40 lettuce heads next month.
Some I'll give to my neighbors for free, some We will eat and the rest I will be selling to get a return on investment, since I did have to pay for Nutrient solutions and seeds, also for the upkeep of the equipments used (EC Meter, Ph down/up).
I would only need to sell at least 10-15 heads. Wish me luck! :)
I wish you great success. You have everything you need to grow healthy lettuce. Your customers will love it.
Thank you so much for the kind words! hope your garden will be fruitful too. :)
I hope the seeds you sow using this hydroponic method will grow well and I am really looking forward to their development.. see you😍
Thank you! some of the seeds still haven't sprouted yet.. will update with a post on Dec 20, exactly 10 days after sowing. :)
