So, how does one go about growing organic
lettuce? The first thing that you need is a
hydroponic system. This is the main requirement
for growing lettuce organically, as it keeps the
soil out of the system and provides a proper
nutrient mix for Hydroponic Lettuce. A hydroponic
system is basically a grow bed with an in-line
controller that supplies all the nutrients,
water, and air (if needed) to the roots of your
plants. The next thing that you need to know is
what nutrients are required by your lettuce
plants. They require nitrogen (N), phosphorus
(P), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca). So, all you
need to do is add these into your nutrient mix in
proper proportions. The rest of the ingredients
of your nutrient mix are just there to provide
extra nutrients such as trace elements, vitamins,
and so on.

To find out how much of each nutrient your
lettuce plants need, you can use an online
calculator or you can use a formula created by
experts to find out what it will
take. The next thing you should remember
is how often do you want to feed your lettuce
plants with nutrients? If your lettuce plants are
growing in a container, then give them every 2-4
days. If they're in a hydroponic system, then
give them every 6 days The last thing you need
to know about proper nutrient mixes is what kind
of fertilizer do you use. For example, if you're
using organic fertilizer then organic compost is
the main ingredient.
