Reports:

Lettuce wants a Ph between 5.5 and 6.5, and a PPM of 560-840

A wider range pretty tolerant plant in hydroponic conditions.

Overview of the genus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lettuce

Recommend a smaller heading variety such as Tom Thumb (Lactuca sativa 'Tom Thumb' Source Source Source) This variety is small tough, and reaches maturity in about 30 days. the quick growing nature allows rapid turnaround on experiments as well as showing changes readily.
