MFSGL: Page Two; The Setup 
We,(MFSGL), were given the use of a little old greenhouse on a part
of the campus known as the Holly Plant Environmental Research Center. Slabs and irrigation supplies were provided along
with a Wadsworth environmental control computer with manual. We did a wee bit of research on the task at hand and proceeded
with great enthusiasm. Very little available data on Lactuca sativa 'Salina' was found, so this was to be a 'new' plant for us.
Some good data was found pertaining to hydroponics grown lettuce using rockwool slabs, but none was found that used Coir. We will be
the first, at least one of the first, to document it on the web.*****

The Seedlings
The seedlings were started in seed flats. The slabs were laid out and water lines connected. On the left are the rockwool slabs. On the right are the coir slabs.
