Site found by a Google search on lettuce bolt http://dede.essortment.com/lettucediseases_ring.htm Quote from that site "Usually bolting in lettuce plants is the result of exposure to exceedingly cold temperatures early on in the plant's growth, even though bolting doesnt actually occur until the warmer temperatures begin."
