I got this plant on accident, it came with some lettuce seeds and looked just like lettuce even for about the first week of its life. I did some research and think its Culantro but I'm not sure. I had to move it out of my lettuce setup cause it cant take as strong of food as the lettuce and was showing some deficiencies and burning, its also slower growing than the lettuce. Its 6 weeks old and the leaves are about 4-6 inches tall.
It has a really strong smell but its just more of a generic planty/chlorophyll smell than any specific herb.

I grew culantro and the one I grew has what looks like little spikes on the sides of the leaves..it also taste similar but a little bit stronger then cilantro
