letteces how fast?

got some little gem seeds into some jiffy pellets on monday. And put them into my led light box (just cos i had a bit of space) and they are going mental. Never grew them before so the question is how fast do they grow?
 
i did some lettuce a few years ago and i had good size leaf at 30days and i was picking some off even before that i only did leafy lettuce before... and only in hydro thats the best way to do it... good luck
 
so fast seems to be the idea.
I'm keeping these in the light box (under blue led) just to see what happens, not growing loads just a couple to
See how the leds work for them, and bringing on some peppers through the winter
 
I'm just starting lettuce in rockwool cubes right now actually. I'm going to be growing them hydroponically under fluorescents. I planted them this weekend and they sprouted in about 3 days. I'll post pics later, but yeah lettuce is a fast growing crop. Keep it well watered, well fed with nitrogen, and you're good. Its very easy to grow, I grew various ones in pots earlier this year with little effort. But yeah expect about 30-50 days from seed til harvest depending on the variety.
