Growing Iceberg Lettuce from Seeds

Best Conditions:

• Climate: Cool weather (ideal: 15–22°C / 59–72°F)
• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
• Soil: Loose, fertile, well-draining soil with compost
• pH: 6.0–7.0

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Seed Starting

• Start indoors in seed trays or sow directly in garden beds/pots
• Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, thinly spaced
  
• Germination in 7–10 days

2. Transplanting (if started indoors)

• Transplant after 3–4 weeks, when seedlings have 3–4 true leaves
• Spacing: 12–16 inches apart for head development

3. Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy
• Avoid overhead watering to reduce risk of rot and disease

4. Fertilization

• Mix in compost before planting
• Side-dress with organic fertilizer (like compost tea or vermicompost) every 2–3 weeks

5. Pests/Diseases to Watch For:

• Aphids, slugs, snails, and leaf miners
• Use neem oil or companion plants like marigold to deter pests

Harvesting:

• Time to harvest: 70–85 days after sowing
• Harvest when the head feels firm and full-sized
• Don’t wait too long—overripe lettuce can bolt (flower), turning bitter

Container Gardening Tips:

• Use a container at least 8–10 inches deep
• Ensure good drainage
• Partial shade in hot climates helps prevent bolting
