I started in mid-November and have already had 5 harvests! The outrageous red and oak leaf letteuce have done the best. None of the black seeded Simpson survived. They’re all leggy because of the distance to my grow lights but one of these days I’ll get around to setting up a way to drop them down.
At this point, I’m getting about 1 cut and come again harvest per week from all 4 plants which is far more than I expected. Once the weather warms up, I’d like to chop them and start new seedlings for outside on the balcony. I have been averaging about 14-15kWh, or 2¢ per month in electricity costs.

Awesome! I am inspired. Where you using a grow light? Can you describe your set-up?
Totally! I’m running Barrina T5 grow lights 35cm from the top of the pot alongside an 810 lumen LED bulb in a spare desk lamp and another small houseplant ring light. They are on for 12h per day currently. All my problems would be solved if I wasn’t too lazy to sort out a solution to getting the T5’s lower and closer to the letteuce, but I had those lights kicking around so they’ll suffice for now.
Many thanks 🙏
