Haven't tried it, but I don't see why not. Of course it would have to fit within the dome.

Yes you can, there are additional plants you can grow, the company, DuneCraft sells refill packs. I purchased a sweet pepper and tomato pack, but I haven't planted either one so I don't know how well they grow. I haven't checked to see if Amazon sells the refill pack or not. If you plan on growing the lettuce, it's the leaf lettuce the kind you would mix in a salad for extra greens. I hope this answers your question.

I do not know. I bought this as a gift/gag as the person I gave it to called something else lettuce.

Yes you can do that. This plant want's a lot of sun and water. Don't worry about the degrees. It will grow gr8.

You want the grow light as close to the plants as possible. Any more than a 6-12 inches away from the plant and it's not going to be very effective. While this grow light is surprisingly powerful for the price, it doesn't cover more than maybe 12 inches or so in diameter. I would use this for maybe a few basil plants or herbs, one head of lettuce, or a smaller pepper plant (e.g. jalapeno).

You probably can't grow everything at once as there are both cool and warm weather crops in the pack. Crops like lettuce will bolt in warm weather so, depending upon where you live you might want them in only partial sun. But for any given area, take the requirements on the seed packet, for instance with lettuce it says 5 seeds per inch in rows 12" to 24" apart. It does not tell us how many seeds are in the packet so that's a problem unless you want to count them. From that you can tell how much area needed for the lettuce. As the seeds germinate, at five per inch you'll have to thin them - pinch off the weakest and leave the water and nutrients for the strongest plants. Since you are controlling the environment you should have at most five plants/square foot. Please note you don't have to sow all seeds at once and shouldn't - I mean, how much lettuce can you eat at once? Look at the germination rate and plant the seeds 2 or three weeks apart so you'll have a continuous harvest while the weather is cool. Same for the other seeds unless you're starting a market garden and just want to sell the crops as they appear. Also, best to rotate the crops - don't always grow a crop in the same place - if disease shows up you'll lose everything. Again, hope this helps some.

I don't think so. I think would need more depth. I only planted flowers and some herbs last year.

Yes. These are amazing things to grow veggies in. I used two like this last summer and yielded plenty in each. Just be sure to fill them all the way to the top as the soil will settle. Plants need all the depth they can get. I grew long carrots in my bag they turned out fine. Also grew round ones. Im going to stick to the full length carrots as it yields more per sq ft. I also got some smaller bags and grew potatoes with good results. Im buying more this year. During winter I piled them high with leaves and compost. They look as good as new and I have had them almost a year.

Hi Chris, I will try and answer your question.The rims of the net pots will rest on the circular openings of the hydroponic rack.The pots will look like they are touching the bottom of the orange base, but there is some room on the bottom. Make sure the blue rack is on the orange base the right way. If the pots actually fall to the bottom of the base and don't rest on the blue rack, then I would say there may be a problem. The net pots need to sit in the water/nutrients since that is how hydroponics work. The lettuce will grow in the rock wool cubes and net pots, and cannot be transplanted in an actual garden. I hope this may have helped you with your question. As long as the rims of the net pots are resting on the rim of the circular openings on the blue rack and don't fall through where you see them lying on the bottom of the orange base, you should be fine. Make sure that you use follow the instructions and you will be growing the lettuce in no time. If you have anymore questions, let me know. Kathy

Depending on the size of the carrot you may have to trim them, but I love my produce saver. It really works! I wish they would make a bigger one for lettuce as well.

I gave it as a gift but I would think if you can get it to grow at all you way ahead of me. I did read somewhere they suggest cutting back anything that extends out of the container.

When it comes in you will need to put it together. Easy enough by just sliding pieces into place. Then you can add your soil and seeds as you wish. This is a very simple way to start gardening. Good Luck!

You can grow greens and herbs, but they'll be leggy and might flop over. You can grow all the microgreens you want, but as the greens grow to maturity, the light starts hitting only the top most leaves, and the ones beneath it wither. You wind up with really tall, thin, weak greens.Some things that never had or needed much vertical support do better, like thyme and chives.

Yes you can , when you couple them make sure you have a rubber washer. I have also purchased a filter so I can do my hydroponics.

Hello! You can surely grow this in a regular pot. Just dump the soil mix inside the bag in your pot (or your own dirt too I suppose would be fine as well.) The seeds are in a little packet and I found them to be useful enough to fill said ugly sack twice. Hope your kitty (or dog.. I suppose dogs can nibble this as well; don't see why not) enjoys!

I haven't used it on lettuce or larger greens, but I have had good success with fresh herbs such as basil and parsley. It seems to get them small enough to use in dishes without mutilating them.

Sure you can! You can start any seeds and grow them under the lights. I start my seeds in flats in seeding medium, put them in plastic bags, then onto a cookie sheet with a heating pad on low and another cookie sheet under the pad. Once 50% of the seeds have sprouted, I remove the plastic and put them under the lights. Be sure to keep the lights just 3-4 inches above the plants. When plants have their first set of true leaves, I transplant them into sterile potting medium - either in rows in flats, or in the case of tomatoes, in single small pots. Write me if you need further info. SGS

Yes they can. Will make it more like finely shredded lettuce. I use them for almost all my veggies..

It can be but I would try and get some of the "Tiger Bloom" from the same manufacturer. It would provide better blooms (geared more for plants than vegetables) if that's what you're looking for.
