About leggy lettuce and veggies in general

carb
10 years ago

Hello,

in the case of growing with lights, I would like to know other signs of lettuce and other veggies growing leggy in their later stages of growth.

I know that seedlings develop a longer stem before the first leaves when there's not enough light. Is this also true for the leaves?
