If you’re thinking of growing your very own hydroponic lettuce then you’ve chosen probably the easiest vegetable to grow hydroponically! They are also delicious and you can make some serious money!

Below are some reasons why you should grow hydroponic lettuce as opposed to growing them in the soil.

1. As you’re not growing them in the soil, you’re not going to have that soil taste that is just so darn hard to wash off lettuce. You know what Im talking about don’t you!

2. No soil borne diseases will be passed on to hydroponic lettuce, which is a real problem for many gardeners.

3. You will have no need to eliminate any soil loving pests so you won’t need to invest in any expensive pesticides. As a result your lettuce will remain organic. We all know how slugs always seem to head straight for the lettuce dont we!

4. Once everything is set up, running costs are around 20% lower with hydroponic lettuce!

5. Maintenance time is greatly reduced! You don’t need to water hydroponic lettuce as all the nutrients are already there and weeding does not exist with hydroponic gardening. All you really need to do is pick your lettuce once it’s ready.

6. If you space out planting your initial seeds by 1 week for 4 weeks, you’ll have permanent lettuce yields. The growth phase for lettuce is 4 weeks.

7. You can grow hydroponic lettuce anywhere; rooftop, window ledge, conservatory, corridor, greenhouse, garage or bedroom.

8. Hydroponic lettuce tends to grow an average of 40% larger than their soil born brothers. This is due to the fact that you have manipulated the growing environment to be optimal for lettuce. They will also have access to all the nutrients they need.

9. Hydroponic lettuce also grows faster than other lettuce. This is partly due to the plant roots not having to grow larger to search for nutrients in the soil. Another big benefit which means money in the bank for you!
