The first is genetic. Vitis vinifera is a genius that has the sub varietals, for example, Cabernet or Zinfandel, defined by clonal selection. The seeds no longer produce true to the clonal selection which in plain terms means if you get seeds…

The crutch you need depends which problem you want to solve. If you select your own deep rooting lettuces and aim for good structure and nutrition, you will get to head maturity under most conditions (plus if you care for predatory beetles/fireflies, so that there is a low initial density).
If you want to stick to the system you have, we need…
