@@bradzi7485 true. Like, the top grows like he is showing perfectly but there are no roots. Tried this 3 different times. It got to a point where they started to wilt so i put them in soil. They all died :(
I love how he simplifies it. Most plant people will be like "you need to give Robert a daily dose of his tarcodiumatiolisatica, his vitamin 4f, and then sit him on the north balcony facing east from the west at the 4am sunrise so he gets the freshest light"
@@akabga But to get started you just need to try. It's good to give details, but just trying is the biggest motivator to continuing down the road. If I heard that there were a bunch of very technical steps to growing things It would just turn me off. Once I see that my attempt didn't work, I am more willing to seek out info on what went wrong and where to improve.
@@user5214 I think people get motivated in different ways. Trying something and failing is more of a turn off to me than knowing a few key points to succeed.
@@akabga Nah you know you're right. I don't like failing, but just starting can be real tough, and even if I fail today and don't try again for a few months, at least I'd have tried and learned something new. But I actually do agree with you to a large degree.
That lettuce is bolting. Meaning it's going to seed. The leaves should be clustered close to the ground. Depending on the type of plant the taste may change. It may get bitter the closer it gets to going to seed.
@@electedsphinx4086 yep it would be a way to get some salad leaves to eat at first but the plant will get too old and "bolt". Which will make the taste bitter but it will flower and then u save the seeds.
hi, thank you so much for your video. I was just on RU-vid trying to see how to regrow lettuce that I bought at the store and your video was simple and straight to the point I definitely will be trying this at home. God’s blessing and protection always.❤
He’s right..we need to quit wasting food that we can use to start new plants that produce food eventually! Now some /most take quite a bit of time but I think it’s totally worth it! Thank you for so many fantastic tips!
@Track_Star7It becomes wild lettuce and not it's variant you see in grocery stores. It's like of you plant a cherry seed, you won't get the big sweet cherries, but small a little sour cherries.
@@khoa3809 nah, it's either too little light or its bolting. I'm assuming it's bolting as it's a mature lettuce when you buy it so it got stressed and went to seed.
It’s literally so easy to get like unlimited food but all the supermarkets (grocery stores🤷♀️) say you can’t grow food from anything you buy from the shops, I’m growing potatoes, rockmelon, avocado, capsicum and tomatoes from seeds in food scraps I would’ve chucked out, potatoes were just ones that started growing in the bag so I planted them
I'm also growing some avocado from pits for fun, but they're not going to produce for another 10 years or so, and they're not likely to look or taste as good as the original 😅
Yeah another good question is at what time to start growing because I have heard that different fruits and veggies have different times of the year that they are in season?
Yes, but pots and dirt get expensive. And when you grow indoors you run out of sunlight, so now you have to build a UV station. It's good work if you can get it.
This is a bolting, which means that it is a plant that is going to give seeds, not e.g lettuce you eat. When them seeds are ready you plant them in soil and you have lettuce that you can eat.
But why does that lettuce look so different from the lettuceheads that come from the ground. Here the leafs are not gathered in a head but on e stick or bramch or whatever you call it
I just did this yesterday threw away the bottom of my lettuce but I got more lettuce in the refrigerator so no worries the problem is I don't get enough sun in my window to grow anything I need some plant lights
Chill out and appreciate unless u wanna make the videos for him and the reason he does it is to catch the audiences attention before they swipe so instead of criticising his work get lost and stop wasting time to hate on people
This is how he started doing videos and then it became popular. He’s gotten a lot of young people into gardening and growing plants from kitchen scraps. He has like over 3 1/2 million people subscribed or watching him I guess and people have short attention fans they like the videos.
When I was peeling off my home grown mandarins today I suddenly hear a voice in my ears "Don't throw it" then I put my mandarins peel in freezer so I can use it to cook meat later Then I keep eating my mandarins until I bit the seeds then I put them into the compost bucket as fertilizer 😊
Awesome video as always! This works great. How do you avoid the lettuce being bitter? I love lettuce and eat it every day, yet every time I do this, the lettuce grows back bitter (even the tiny little leave that grow at first). Wonder what I am doing wrong? Thanks! 😃
