As you'd expect, the early stages of growth for your Lettuce is fairly normal at first. Expect them to start sprouting within one to two weeks. But - it is a little sensitive to heat and will produce a lot more growth if grown in between 18°C to 22°C. If the temperature remains higher, it will slow the germination process and it may even start to bolt. It's best to harvest the plant all at once around 30-35 days, otherwise, they will begin to lose flavour and nutrients.
