Meikoningin lettuce - mid-december

on 18 December 2011.

The Meikoningin lettuces have sped up their growth. I think in about 2-3 weeks I'll be able to harvest them, especially those located in the square pot, which otherwise would not have enough room there.

In the square pot I have 3 lettuces growing in standard garden soil. I have 2 other lettuces in round pots in coconut fiber. Lettuces in coco coir are being watered with hydroponic nutrients.

After treatment with NEEM oil I have observed only 2 leafhoppers messing around (they have been eliminated pinching them with my fingers). NEEM oil seems to repel them. I have not observed eny fitotoxic effects of NEEM oil, the leaves do not display stains after NEEM sprinkling. I will proceed to carry out a second sprinkling with NEEM. This one only to the 3 lettuces in the square pot.
