First Signs of Life
Less than 48 hours after planting, four of the eighteen butterhead lettuce starts have begun to sprout. These seeds were planted in the 36-cell starter kit that uses a different kind of medium than the rest.
The 36-cell tray uses a small cylinder of “dirt” with no mesh covering. When broken up, it filled the tray segments just like normal dirt. The 50-cell trays use the mesh-covered “coins” that grow in height to about 1″ when wet.
I might have spotted mold growing in one of the 50-cell tray pellets. I’ve removed it and will continue to keep a close eye on their progress. I wonder if it would be beneficial to grow without the tray lids on at this point…
