I've got my winter plants started and all are doing well in soil so far except a tray of red romaine lettuce in soil. They are wilting and wilting bad so tomorrow I planned on putting them in an exclusive DWC tub and doing what is necessary to keep them going. I don't have experience growing lettuce and could use some insight.
I currently have the lettuce growing under a 400 watt metal halide, again they are in soil. The temps are in the low 80s F. I planned on running them in a DWC tub and usually use the Dyna Gro line.
I'm trying to understand why they are wilting/dying now and if going hydro will even help. (they are in seedling soil trays) Admittedly, I haven't done a great deal of research about light and temperature requirements regarding these plants but what I did find in searches was spotty and very unspecific.
If anyone could give some insight I'd be very grateful.
Thanks a bunch.
