Good evening everyone.
I've been growing some lettuce in a tub for a while now, but seemingly overnight they've gone from healthy tough green bulbs to really soft, rubbish flimsy ones :( I went to pull them up earlier this evening and they looked like different plants!

Did i pick them too late? Too much sun? Help!
Possibly they dried out too much with them being in a small tub but I'd suspect stem damage from a wee timerous beastie... difficult to see without harvesting or a bad case of root aphids.. again not visible until plant pulled up...
:-\
Would that occur over such a small period of time? - Terrifying!
They feel like let down balloons. How sad. :(
