Well problems are never “fun”!!!

(There’s an unintended pun in there!)

Hauling up 300 ft. of pipe - I assume that takes some piece of equipment? My shallow well hose/pipe is heavy enough...

Hopefully this one will not be too much of a “bugger” for you and Beau. Good luck!

Ok... I have several juvenile Muir Lettuce plants set up in my “cool”* basement under a 10k lumen 5000k LED light (fairly smooth spectrum).

Should I put that light on a timer to simulate day-night cycles, and, should I keep the “day” cycle under 12 hours?

*The temperature down there after an 86 deg. day outside is only 62 deg. F., but, that’s admittedly after a cool weekend with highs themselves in the mid-60’s. In consistently warm weather the basement will likely be around 70 - 72 deg. or so.

Muir lettuce is frequently suggested as THE most heat tolerant (without bolting) type of lettuce, so, this should be interesting...
