We have tried the hydroponic lettuce and like others I have seen posting here have been thrilled to see seeds sprout in no time and then we wait and wait and wait and nothing but a few spindly leaves that never grow. We are using buckets with cone insterts filled with peat, and a tablespoon of feed per bucket. We are very disappointed as we thought this would be a fabulous way to grow our own lettuce.
