II. INTRODUCTION
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is one the most commonly grown hydroponic vegetables.
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil. Plants may be grown in a nutrient
solution only (liquid culture) or they may be supported by an inert medium (aggregate
medium). In both systems, all of the plants’ nutritional needs are supplied through the
irrigation water.
amount of production knowledge, experience, technical skills, and financial investment than
many other greenhouse systems. A grower must be committed to meeting the daily
While there are a number of different hydroponic system that have been
commercially successful lettuce production, this profile will focus on the nutrient film
technique and the floating raft method. Prospective growers should obtain as much
information as they can about hydroponic production before entering into this type of
enterprise.
A. Orientation
The whole class were required to bring 4 seedlings of lettuce per student, a
contribution for the nutrient solution, 14 plastic bottles each student, Styrofoam box,
net for putting a greenhouse, and bamboos poles submitted by the students.
B. Area Preparation
Near the new building of Agriculture, we had given a small area where we can
make a greenhouse for our lettuce production .We started to clean the area by

but out of direct sunlight. Provides adequate light, maintaining air temperature and
adjusting the nutrient levels was controlled to ensure the best result. Maintaining the
the crop.
IV. OBSERVATIONS
The lettuce seeds that was sown did not germinate well maybe because we are
lacking of knowledge and experience before we start in planting of the crop. In constructing
the greenhouse, it is important that all materials are well prepared and available before
Most of the time, the requirements that student must provide are always late causing
