Time(s) of watering for crops: 5 minutes misting the microgreen seeds for Spaceseed and MDRS microgreens
Changes to crops: Nothing to report
Soil Moisture Level: 9.4 (Average of five points, one on each corner and center)
Green Hab Officer checked on both Spaceseed and the microgreens experiments, both of which are currently in trays that are stacked and in dark locations with weight on top of them to encourage germination. Spaceseed has started to germinate evenly across the top tray but the bottom three trays germination has only begun in locations where the ridges of the tray on top does not press into the seeds as strongly.
The microgreens with moist paper towels have not started germination and have again been watered. There is some concern over the 124.5F max temperature that was reached today and the seeds not having enough water to begin germination, especially for the paper towels. The seeds with vermiculite that was soaked in water have just begun some germination but the seeds where vermiculite was moist have not.
