There are pictures of bigger greenhouses with lettuces, I am wondering why don't they have more than one level to double the production. Surely there would be enough of light for the bottom level. And some of them are supposedly growing commercially. Why not double the output by having 2 levels in the greenhouse?

N - stands for nitrogen. You probably knew that one. This nutrient is the leaf and stem developer and adding nitrogen wiil get thing growing fast. It's always perfect for leafy veggies. After all, it's the leafy part that we're after in vegetables like cabbage, lettuce, Swiss chard, kale, etc.
sorry op!
P - stands for phosphorus. This nutrient is valuable for developing flowers and fruit - plus helps roots take quickly to the soil around them. If you're frustrated by lots of leaves and stems developing on your fruiting crops like pumpkin or tomatoes. But nary a fruit in sight - you may need a boost of phosphorus.
K - stands for potassium. Potassium promotes healthy roots systems and helps the plants resist disease. It also works alongside the phosphorus in developing fruit. You'll notice it's importance if you're growing root crops such as carrots or turnips.
