Thirteenth Week: Volting, flowering, mildew & some selection

Dear readers,

A lot of plants already started to bolt and some of them had flower buds. So I took measurement on a scale of 0 to 1. There was still mild issue with mildew, which I treated with half milk & half water solution. And ghosting problem did not fade away, so I decided to select some of the plants I really like at this stage of growth on a scale of 0 to 2, where 2 is must. Some of the plants looked hardly edible and had issue with severe ghosting and tip burn, thus they were just thrown out and the net pots were cleaned.

Twelveth Week: Tasting

Dear readers,

The ghosting problem unfortunately did not disappear. However, I have to move on so I decided to make note on taste on a scale of bitter to sweet. One of the varieties had taste and texture I really liked which I marked it as *.

Okay, I think these grew out of the seeds I accidentally spilled last time when I planted these plants. And the sad thing is that these are the most healthy-looking lettuce which I could find in the greenhouse...

Tenth & Eleventh Week: Ghosting problem

Dear readers,

I do not what is the problem with these plants, but a lot of them are showing unknown symptom which makes them look very unhealthy and not edible. Professor Michael named it ghosting problem -- leaves are loosing its own color. I will see if time would fix this problem or make it worse.

Tenth Week: Early selection

Dear readers,

Due to mildew damage, tip burn and other not identifiable factors, some of lettuce plants did not look so edible. I wanted to identify which ones looked good so far, so I did early selection based on many different factors but mainly on how edible they looked. Along with selection, I took measurement on harvest and tip burn and death.
