    This narrative report summarizes the students' management of a hydroponic lettuce crop grown in a greenhouse for an agriculture course. The students constructed a greenhouse near the new agriculture building, cleaning the area and planting marigolds outside. They initially tried growing lettuce from seed but had unsuccessful germination, so each student provided 4 lettuce seedlings. The students cared for and maintained the lettuce under the greenhouse, controlling light, temperature, and nutrient levels. Observations noted that seed germination failed likely due to lack of experience, and materials for greenhouse construction should be prepared in advance. Documentation of the project was also provided.

    NARRATIVE REPORT

    I. TYPE OF CROP MANAGED: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

    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.

    Hydroponics is a highly exacting and demanding system that requires a greater

    amount of production knowledge, experience, technical skills, and financial investment than

    many other greenhouse systems. A grower must be committed to meeting the daily

    demands of production to be successful.

    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.

    III. JOB ACCOMPLISMENT

    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

    clearing

    the weeds, cutting tall grasses and putting up the bamboo poles and the net. Outside

    of the greenhouse were cleaned and planted it with Marigold.

    C. Growing of Seeds

    Initially, we sow the seeds of lettuce in a seed box but it was unsuccessful,

    the seeds did not germinate well and eventually died. What we did was each student

    provided four seedling, whether it was brought or personally sown.

    D. Care and Maintenance

    Since it was grown in under greenhouse, it keeps the plants in a bright room

    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

    cleanliness of the area by weeding it regularly to provide a desirable environment for

    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

    starting to avoid any inconvenience later on during construction.

    Most of the time, the requirements that student must provide are always late causing

    a low productivity and development of the greenhouse and the crop.
