I’m interested in purchasing multiple Click and Grow 25 units for my restaurant. Each unit will be producing only lettuce.
My concern is spacing for each head of lettuce. I understand the unit can fit 25 plants per level, but will there be enough space if all I’m growing is lettuce?
Will it stunt the lettuce growth? Or should I mix in other plants to make it work?
Also, how long does it take to grow lettuce? I need 50 heads per week.
Does the system have a pump?
Hi @MrPhantastic, welcome to the community!
Click and Grow 25 was created to grow edible greens in a continuous 5-week cycle, so one unit would provide 5 lettuces per week- every week.
This spacing is just enough that all greens are harvest-ready in 5 weeks after planting. We are using loose leaf type lettuce varieties, that do perfectly well with this layout and provide enough baby-leaf sized leaves just in 5 weeks. If you wish, you can grow only one type of greens or mix different types of greens to your liking.
The system does not have a pump. Plants are watered thanks to a passive wick system that is completely silent.
