That blows :( 

 

Do you bury them or just scatt r them on top?

 

After harvesting, 2 of 3 lettuce plants are still thriving. The third seems to have kicked the bucket, but I’ll give a while longer to see if it thrives. If not, I plan on planting some seeds in the empty pod. Cooks Illustrated reported there was enough nutrients left to get a good yield of lettuce. 

 

Also so looking into liquid fertilizer since the roots seem to be growing through the wicks. (The one with the most extensive root system in the tank is the one having issues thriving after harvest)

 

Horticulturally speaking lots of roots (thready) are not a sign of best vigor. You want one strong tap root. When you transplant those whispy guys shrivel and you get die off.  Think desperation versus "I got this"
