Description
General Information about Lettuce Lollo Green (Hydroponic Seeds)
Lettuce Lollo Green (Lollo Bionda) is a classic curly-leaf lettuce known for its bright lime-green color, soft frilled edges and naturally airy, decorative shape. Because of its light, fresh appearance and tender texture, it is one of the most popular lettuces for indoor and hydroponic systems.
These hydro-tested seeds grow cleanly and evenly in NFT, Ebb&Flow and Kratky setups. Lollo Green forms compact, stable plants with excellent leaf quality under LED lights and performs reliably in both professional farms and home hydroponic units.
Its frilly structure and soft colour tone make it a great complement to red varieties, perfect for mixed packs, salad blends and premium leafy greens.
Taste and Look of Lettuce Lollo Green
Lollo Green produces a loose, curly head with bright, lime-green leaves and a soft texture.
The flavour is fresh, mild and slightly sweet, with a gentle nutty note that makes it easy to pair with any salad or wrap. Its delicate curls hold dressings well and give dishes a light, elegant finish.
How to Grow Lettuce Lollo Green (Hydroponic)
Recommended systems: NFT, Ebb&Flow, Kratky
Required nutrient solution: MP SEEDS Hydroponic A+B
Lollo Green is very easy to grow in hydroponics. Follow this simple step-by-step plan:
1. Prepare the growing cubes
- Use grow cubes (eco cubes, fiber cubes or rockwool).
- Place them in a seedling tray for stability.
- Soak well with water or a very light nutrient mix (EC close to 0), then let excess water drain.
2. Sow the seeds
- Place 1 seed per cube.
- Press gently or lightly mist to secure the seed.
3. Sprouting (3–5 days)
- Keep the tray in a dark, warm and humid place.
- Ideal temperature: 20–22°C.
- Cover with a lid if needed to keep humidity high.
4. Move under light
- Once seedlings emerge, place the tray under LEDs.
- Provide 14–16 hours of light per day.
- Keep the cubes evenly moist — never soaked.
5. Seedling development
The seedlings are ready to transplant when:
- the first true leaves appear
- roots grow out from the bottom of the cube
6. Transfer to the final system
- NFT: set cubes so roots reach the nutrient film
- Ebb&Flow: place in trays with regular flood cycles
- Kratky / DWC: keep a small air gap under the cube for oxygen
Start feeding with full-strength MP SEEDS A+B.
7. Growing & harvest
Maintain stable light, airflow, EC and pH.
Lollo Green forms crisp, bright heads in 30–35 days, with soft curly leaves and clean hydroponic quality.
