Shading can reduce the concentrations of red pigments (anthocyanin) in
lettuce leaves. Check out the link below for work done by Matt
Kleinhenz' group in Ohio on this subject.

I'm afraid I don't have any answers, but I have questions! Do you have
lights in the hoophouses? Will you be seeding directly or starting the
seeds somewhere else and transplanting? I've had trouble starting even
lettuce when the soil is cold.
I really like to see some reds in a lettuce mix. I've been growing a
red
and green leaf lettuce mix from Johnny's and I love it. BUT, when I
plant
it in the greenhouse, the red doesn't turn red! Is it the UV filter in
the
plastic? Does anyone know?
