Cos lettuce is super easy to grow hydroponically so chuck it in one of your units and watch it grow! These can often take a little while to germinate so be patient! No need to use all the seeds at once though as there are way too many for one round of growing. It may be a good idea to start growing a small amount in one grow pot, before waiting a few weeks to plant seeds in the other. This way you allow for some crop rotation so that you always have a crop available!
Harvesting; Once your plants are about 10cm tall you can begin to harvest them! Pick the outer leaves continually or if you’re hungry you can pick the whole plant and plant some replacement seeds
Cos lettuce is perfect for eating fresh in salads or if you’re feeling adventurous; try adding it to a stir fry for a lovely rich lettuce flavour!
