Last night, in anticipation, I looked at my newly planted, ONE DAY OLD, Parris Island pods and all three had action going!
I couldn't believe it! But I looked again this morning, in case I was imagining things last night, and there's definite germination action. So I'm hoping for sprouts in the very near future.
Two are seeds planted on top or close to the top of the sponge, so I have to wait and see if those roots in successfully. But one pod has action down deep.

Day 7
Thinned the plants down to one per pod. I know you don't have to, but I've never been a huge fan of multiple plants per pod for lettuce.

2024-10-19: Day 11 The little lettuces are growing and looking nice, except the middle one which has a bit of yellow edging to one leaf. pH is fine, EC is fine, rinse and refill is due in just a few days, so I'm inclined to leave be until then, unless I see any drastic worsening.
They are getting a little bit of fan breeze both morning and evening.
