"I'm Rob from Upper Michigan and I have started growing lettuce in my own home a few weeks ago. My first system is working so well that I couldn't help but start another one! I am super jacked about it! Thank you so much for openly sharing these amazing plans for this system. Soon me and my family will be enjoying fresh greens and the ground is still frozen!

My first system is made out of a Rubbermaid tub and the second one is a Buckhorn tub with a white lid. This lid ended up being semitransparent so I picked up some panda film and outdoor carpenters tape which now totally blocks out light and is highly reflective. I also bought a 300w led light from Apollo which immediately livened up my plants which was much needed as we do not get much sunlight up here, especially this time of year. Thanks again Mike for starting this amazing food revolution! My friends and family love it and are planning on starting their own systems as well!"
