About Iceberg Lettuce ‘Great Lakes’

‘Great Lakes’ is a reliable iceberg lettuce variety that forms medium-sized, dense heads with crisp, refreshing leaves. It’s well-suited to various growing conditions and stores for up to a week when kept cool, making it a practical choice for home growers.

This lettuce is perfect for salads, sandwiches, and wraps—thanks to its crunchy texture and mild flavor. A staple in many kitchens, it offers a fresh, homegrown alternative to store-bought lettuce.

Why It’s Great for Hydroponic Smart Gardens

Iceberg lettuce like ‘Great Lakes’ adapts well to hydroponic systems, where stable moisture, nutrients, and light help form firm, compact heads. With a smart indoor garden, you can grow lettuce year-round—no need to wait for spring or summer.

This variety typically matures in 40–50 days. If you pre-grow seedlings indoors, you can reduce time to harvest by another 25–30 days. Its tidy growth habit fits most smart garden pods or hydroponic setups with moderate root depth.
