Hydroponic Seedlings Station
Spiniches preferred temperature 18°C
Fresh and healthy seeds shall sprout for 2 to 15 days with the correct temperature 16°C to 24°C (60°F to 75°F), the humidity, and lights.
Leaves need lights for photosynthesis.
Transplant the seedlings 30 days after sowing the seeds.
keep 10 cm apart if they are transplanted in the soil.
It is natural that some of them will survive some will not.
It is natural that some of them will survive some will not.
Harvest 4 to 6 weeks after transplant.
Some sooner some later.
Trim the fresh leaves and allow them to continue growing.

When the seeds are fresh and healthy, all of them start sprouting on the 2nd day.
They will appear in this way in 2 weeks' time:
They will appear in this way in 2 weeks' time:
Wait for another 3 more weeks, check the water daily do not let them dry out,
let them further develop their root system before being moved to the hydroponic systems.
They will have a much higher survival rate with a stronger foundation.

Pour in half scope of nutrient water from the water tank to make sure they are comfortable with the density. If the solution is too strong,, their roots will get burned and it will appear in their leaves burnt and gradually drying out.

Day 25 seedlings
Add on the LED UV lights.
Day 1 Light.
What has happened to these 25 days seeds?
Still not coming out?
Add on the lamp overnight see how?
Enlarge them u can see white sprouts are out.
But they are just not growing.
Some seeds are too old, expired, bad, or dead.
so, I went online to find out the conditions to geminate Lettuce Seeds Efficiently.
Okay, it says, between 16°C to 24°C
and Lettuce seeds need light to germinate
Hence I decided to put Ice in the seedling trays to cool down the water since our room temperature here is already 29°C to 32°C most of the time.
Let's try out with the LED UV light tonight and see how.

Try this method before disposing of them off when seeds are old.
Another type of Germination.
Just pour seeds into the water. Soak overnight.
Just pour seeds into the water. Soak overnight.
The next day moves all seeds to the soil.
I don't expect many of them to come out since these were last year's seeds.
After salvage, pick up whichever can sprout then pour all the rest into the soils.

Day 1 seedlings
" Lettuce seeds take 2 to 15 days to germinate. Lettuce seeds germinate faster with optimal soil temperature, humidity, and air circulation. "
"The University of California suggests that it will take lettuce seeds around 2 days to germinate at a soil temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius).
On the other hand, lettuce seeds will take around 15 days to germinate at a soil temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius).
It will also depend on various other factors that affect time to seed germination – let’s get into some of those now!"
Temperature to germinate Lettuce Seeds:
No of Days Seed Sprouts Temperature Temperature
(degrees Fahrenheit) (degrees Celcius)
Min 15 days 32°F 0 to 5 °C
Ideal 2 days 60 °F to 75 °F 16°C to 24 °C
Max 85 °F 29.4°C
Above this temperature,
they will not Germinate
" Lettuce seed will germinate at 35°F ( 2°C) but optimum germination is 70 to 75°F ( 21°C to 24°C) ). If the plants are sufficiently hardened, they will withstand freezing. "
"lettuce seed can germinate when the soil temperature is 35 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit ( 2°C to 26°C) ). The ideal soil temperature for germination though is 70°F to 75°F ( 21°C to 24°C). In cooler temperatures, germination takes longer. When temperatures are warmer than 70 to 75 F ( 21°C to 24°C), lettuce seed may not germinate."
"Lettuce is adaptable to many growing conditions but likes it cool - around 60°F to 65°F ( 15°C to 18°C). "
" Lettuce seeds need light to germinate, which is why they are planted in shallow soil. If you start lettuce seeds indoors, give the seedlings bright overhead lights such as LED during germination."
