5 days old

2 inches tall. I'm really surprised I've not killed it yet. I've got nada in the fish tank.

That is about what I spend on lettuce in a year.

Yikes

So I read an article about growing lettuce indoors. This is my first attempt, it is 3 days old. I am using last week's lettuce container.



I also went down to the basement and brought up my fishtank. I put a couple of inches of organic potting soil that I already had and some lettuce seeds I had from last year. My bulb is still good and I'll be setting it up in a sunny window tomorrow ( I do plan to run the tank light about an hour a day to supplement the winter sun).

Does anyone grow stuff indoors to eat? What do you grow and how to do you grow it?

I can only eat small quantities of regular lettuce. Too much and I'll break out in a rash and puke. It's the pesticides and such, which is why I only buy organic at the store. I am interested to see long it takes to grow an 11 ounces of lettuce indoors, the size of the tub I buy each week.

I also sent a "pretty please" email to Dole asking for coupons. If anyone sees Dole lettuce coupons out there let me know please!
