lettuce evolve FAQ
What can you grow?
Our system allows for a wide variety of plants to be grown. Here are a few examples:
- VEGETABLES (such as leafy greens, tomatoes, cabbage, chilies, capsicum, and broccoli)
- ROOT CROPS (such as onions, potatoes, and beets)
- FRUITS (such as blueberries, strawberries, and watermelon)
- HERBS (such as coriander, thyme, sage, rosemary, basil, or chives)
- ORNAMENTAL PLANTS (such as flowers, ferns, and vines)
How many plants will fit in the system?
Our naming system is based on the number of lettuce plants each system will hold, so, the “55p” system will fit 55 Lettuce plants, depending on the variety. So, to give some examples, here are approximate numbers, depending on the types/varieties used:
- Lettuce: 55
- Strawberries: 40
- Tomatoes: 28
- Bell peppers: 32
- Basil: 55
- Chives: 55
Again, these are approximate numbers and your results may vary!
What kind of yield can I expect?
Yield will depend on many factors. For example, while the Lettuce Evolve platform is insulated to provide superior temperature sensitivity, indoors or out, variations in temperature would have *some* effect on growth rates. Similarly, natural or artificial light levels, and changes in same can also have an effect. Of course, many other things can affect plant growth as well. Some plants, like Lettuce, can have leaves harvested multiple times. That said, in good overall conditions, using the above plant examples, we would expect to see each plant yield approximately (per month, in the 55p system):
- Lettuce: 4lbs
- Strawberries: 0.5lbs
- Tomatoes: 3lbs
- Bell peppers: 1lb
- Basil: 1lb
- Chives: 1lb (similar to other spices)
Again, these are approximate numbers and your results may vary!
