GreenHab Officer: Ryan DeAngelis
Environmental control: Heater on automatically, fan on briefly for ventilation/air flow (approx. at 6:30 pm), door closed.
Average temperatures: 74 deg. Fahrenheit
Hours of supplemental light: 10:30 pm to 2:00 am
Daily water usage for crops: 6 gallons
Daily water usage for research and/or other purposes: Only crop watering
Water in Blue Tank (200 gallon capacity): _180.5_ gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: 9:00 am, 6:30 pm (split watering)
Changes to crops: Planted peas, rosemary, and fennel
Narrative: We planted a large plot of peas, expanded the existing rosemary plot, and planted fennel. We put damp cardboard over top of the peas as per instructions for the first few days to be blackout. Found the pollinator tool and attempted to use that on the tomatoes. Will try again tomorrow, hopefully one or two of the tomato plants will be fertilized soon. HSO and JOU assisted in the GreenHab today.
Correction to report: I fertilized all the plants in the GreenHab today. I watered a second time because I noticed a couple of the tomato plants were drooping a little, so hopefully the additional water and fertilizer will help them overnight. Will observe and determine if more fertilizer is necessary in the future.
Harvest: No harvest today.
Support/supplies needed: Supplemental lights were observed to turn on at 10:30 pm last night, when it should be from 10 pm onwards – is this alright or should I attempt to adjust back to 10 pm start? Have not validated that it shuts off at 2 am, however I woke up last night at 3 am and the lights were off.

Changes to crops: The red cabbage, planted on December 4th, has successfully sprouted.

Narrative: As our simulation concludes today, I find myself already missing the vibrant and beloved greens from the GreenHab. Our Tereza is blooming. I affectionately named our tomato that way. And here is another beautiful cucumber called Holly. She is so calm and growing well in her big blue tank. Upon entering the GreenHab, they greet me with a cheerful "Hello, Cutie," eagerly anticipating the arrival of the next heartwarming GreenHab officer. Middle of the endless desert and mountains, they thrive alongside the Utah winter.

Over the 12-day period, we utilized approximately 86.5 liters of water. Our total harvest comprised 375 grams of microgreens, featuring varieties such as radish, kale, red cabbage, sunflower, and beans. The microgreens salad offered a delightful natural taste.

As part of our conservation efforts, we saved and rested the soil for the next crew.

Currently, the GreenHab is flourishing with a variety of crops, including kale, cress, arugula, parsley, dill, cucumber, carrot, mint, red cabbage, radish, broccoli, pea, sunflower, oregano, basil, sage, thyme, cilantro, chives, lettuce, lavender, rosemary, corn salad, Dutch lambs, and more. The newly planted microgreens are thriving and showing robust growth.

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

Time(s) of watering for crops: Radish 17:33

Changes to crops: None

Narrative: cucumbers are growing well but their leaves are getting yellow from the edge. Tomatoes are growing well enough. Peas in the big blue tank are also yellowing from the edges. I think they need some sort of nutrients. Radishes are planted very dense so transplanting out is necessary.

Harvest: None

Support/supplies needed: Peas are in the lower deck almost dead even if the soil is moisturized.

Water in Blue Tank ( 200 gallon capacity): 196.04 gallons

Time(s) of watering for crops: 5:45 pm to 6:35 pm

Changes to crops: Peas were in the lower deck replaced by radish.

Narrative: I have removed the peas in the lower deck, refreshed and rest the soil until afternoon, and planted radish in one pot.

There are 3 pots of cucumbers densely planted. So I think that transplanting is required.

One is the long pot where I transplanted the separated cucumber. We harvested radish from two other sides.

I thought hilling the tomatoes and cucumbers is helpful for growing so I did.

And we planted kale using an empty space in a blue tank.

For yesterday, I checked all of the crops with a soil moisture meter. Only the radishes in the small pot were almost dry.

About 300ml of water was used.

Here is the questions:

1. Should I open the greenhab door during the day time?
