After terminating my first lettuce garden (after 121 days!  ), I sanitized the Bounty last week and got a new lettuce garden going this weekend. Machine: Bounty Elite Pods: AG Lettuce Mix (built my own)...using all 9.
Nutes: AG, 8ml to start (based on past experience, once they get going will prob do 6ml every 2 weeks)

Day 2:
Starting to see some sprout. The front and center baby greens has sprouted. The romaine, back baby greens, and both salad greens are starting to shed their outer seed shell and on their way to sprouting. Based on based the last experience, the Kale will take a while (I think it took about 7-10 days to sprout and get above the label) and I am guessing the Beet greens might do the same.
I started harvesting around Day 20 last time around, but I think I am going to hold off and let them mature a bit more first...but I might change my mind. lol.

Day 4: All but 2 pods (Kale Mix and Romaine) have sprouted. Baby greens will probably be ready to have cover removed tonight.  20190522_101112 by Aaron Blasyak, on Flickr Based on last time, the Kale took quite a while to fully sprout and come over the label. Surprisingly, the Beet green pod was the 3rd to come up, thought it would take longer. |

121 days of lettuce? How did you do it? A big part of it was not harvesting for a long time in the middle! This led to it starting to bolt, hence terminating it. |

Day 10: Mostly everything has sprouted, is above the label, and dome removed:  20190528_103525 by Aaron Blasyak, on Flickr  20190528_103631 by Aaron Blasyak, on Flickr The Romaine and Parris Island have not yet sprouted, which seems odd. The Romaine pod is not getting wet at the top. The Parris Island I think is starting to sprout but just is low (I noticed I have this issue with whichever pod is next to the water port for some reason). The Deer Tongue is over the label, but have not removed the dome. The two Baby Greens (front center)-right and back center) are doing well, as are the Salad Greens (front left and right center-left) are also growing nicely. The Kale sprouted and grew much quicker this time (last garden it took quite a while). The Beet Greens also sprouted quickly are are growing nicely. The others will come, just slower. Which, in the end, is not a bad thing as it staggers things some. |

So, I never kept up with updating the progress of this garden (apologies!).
I took my usual summer trip back to CA to see my parents, partner, and family. Being gone for 6 weeks, I have terminated this garden. Made some good salads right before I left! Will be starting a new salad garden in the next few days.
