First indoor lettuce with my countertop hydro kit

[cons_1990]

Hey everyone! I finally caved and bought one of those countertop hydroponic kits. Right now I’ve got a few tiny lettuce sprouts that look more like shy houseguests than future salads. Since this is my first indoor grow I’m hoping for some beginner tips, anything from light schedules to nutrient tricks. I’d love to keep these little greens happy and actually harvest something crunchy!

Congrats on the new kit! Lettuce usually likes 12 to 16 hours of light daily, and most hydroponic nutrient mixes already have the right balance. Just keep the water topped up and pH around 6.0.
