Dear,

I have planted lettuce in NFT system, the lettuce is growing fine, but I cannot control the leafs of the lettuce.. every leaf is going into differenet direction, and they are not getting next to each other; hence they get broke!
See the pictures! What should I do?
Do Basil and Tomato perform well in this environment? which is better NFT or DWC for the Lettuce/Tomatto/Basil?

Thanks

Looks like they are going to seed (bolting) - not enough light? too little nutrient?

Insufficient light. Too leggy.

What should I do? move them to a balcony with direct sun light? the current balcony has 12 hours sun light, and direct sun exposure of 2 hours/day

Current crop. No. Future crops, yes.

My indoor efforts looked like that (well not quite, yours look better). Outside lettuce is going OK.
