Growing hydroponic vegetables is a common delight for most growers today. The method is something rather a new experience for gardeners and farmers alike because lettuces are possibly and uniquely grown without the application of soil. The plants’ nutritional needs are supplied through water irrigation alone. Since water is the most important medium of growing hydroponic lettuce, well or country water is always used. Surface water put the plants susceptible for diseases while chlorinated water may complicate its growth, these are not applicable. There are several ways used for hydroponic production but hydroponic lettuce is usually cultivated using either of these two successful methods. One procedure is through nutrient film technique (NFT). Plants are put through the holes along a plastic pipe, tube, or close gutter or trough so that the roots extend inside as a shallow stream of nutrient solution constantly flows over the bare roots within the pipes. The pipes are slightly inclined in order the nutrient solution to flow from the upper to the lower end of the pipe. The other one is the floating raft system. Seedlings are inserted into holes in a platform or raft that is generally made of Styrofoam. Rafts are either small or big enough depending to the preferences of the grower. Plants’ roots grow into the nutrient mixture as the raft floats directly on top of it. Moreover, plants must be checked every day for any signs and symptoms of diseases, insects, and pests. Sanitation is the key to maintaining a disease-free system. In whatever manner you grow your own lettuce garden, you can have fun. You have put an innovative measure to your farming or gardening experience. 9685
