4. Water regularly. Iceberg lettuce needs to be watered regularly, especially during hot weather. Water the plants deeply so that the roots can reach moisture.
5. Fertilize the plants. Fertilize the plants every two weeks with a balanced fertilizer. You can use a liquid fertilizer or a granular fertilizer.
6. Harvest the lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is ready to harvest when the leaves are firm and crisp. Cut the leaves at the base of the plant.
