Crew 315 GreenHab Report 22-04-2025

GreenHab Officer: Elena Saavedra Buckley

Environmental control (fan & heater): On intermittently (see narrative)

Average temperatures (last 24h): 91 F

Maximum temperature (last 24h): 99.5 F

Minimum temperature (last 24h): 84.4 F

Hours of supplemental light: Now back on to 7-10pm

Daily water usage for crops: 10.4 gal

Daily water usage for research and/or other purposes: ~½ cup for spritzing all plants and mushroom kit

Water in Blue Tank (200 gallon capacity): 169.8 gallons

Time(s) of watering for crops: 9:30 am / 6:45 pm

Changes to crops: None visible

Narrative: The GreenHab thermometer was at 100 degrees when I entered at 9:30am, due to the fan not working because of the Smart Home difficulties regarding the generators. I turned the fan on with backup power and left the door open until it reached 87 degrees, then switched it back to Smart Home power once notified to do so by Mission Support.

Harvest: Another very small herb harvest. The scale seems totally dead, but we’re going to try one of the ones in the RAM for larger harvests.

Support/supplies needed: None

Time(s) of watering for crops: 8:30 am / 6:45 pm

Changes to crops: None

Narrative: The supplemental light system seemed to be on all night, likely due to a snag with the Smart Home system and power; we noticed it as we went to bed, and I wasn’t sure whether that was normal. It was on when I went in the morning, so Mission Support rebooted the system and they turned off. It was again very hot in the afternoon, 102 degrees, so I left the door open until it cooled down. We also harvested some produce for burritos.

Harvest: 66g tomatoes / 8g chives / 5g parsley

Support/supplies needed: None
