Environmental control: (heater, fan, door open?) heater on, door closed, 20% humidity
Average temperatures: 43.3ºC/13.5ºC
Hours of supplemental light: N/A
Daily water usage for crops: 25.2 L ≈ 6.66 gal
Daily water usage for research and/or other purposes: 0 gal
Water in Blue Tank ~258.34 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: twice, morning and night, 9am-5pm
Changes to crops:
-I harvested the assorted kale microgreens from the orange planter on the shelves, 75% of the dill growing in the big blue bin, and the remainder of the radish in the blue bin with beans.
-The tomatoes on the wood pallet are starting to produce true leaves and are looking very healthy. The tomatoes in the big blue planter and the single pots in front of it are growing a lot slower.
-The snow peas on the wood pallet are looking very happy and using the wood stakes to grow taller. I think they will need to use the wood stakes for more time before they are tall enough to switch to the metal cages.
Narrative:
-Today I harvested radish, kale, and dill microgreens to make a salad for my crew. We used the dill to infuse olive oil as a dressing and saved a little bit to top it. It was delicious!
-Tomorrow I plan to replant more radish in the blue bin to replace the radish I have harvested. I have decided to replant more after doing research, the plant does not contain enough energy to regrow itself after harvest.
Harvest: (include which crop and mass in grams)
-Radish microgreens: 85g
-Assorted kale microgreens: 45g
-Dill microgreens: 10g

Hours of supplemental light: N/A
Daily water usage for crops: 22.6 L ≈ 5.97 gal ≈ 6 gal
Daily water usage for research and/or other purposes: 0 gal
Water in Blue Tank ~265 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: twice, morning and night, 9am-5pm
Changes to crops:
-Today I replanted multiple crops that haven’t grown since I started watering the greenhouse. I replanted the mint in the single planter on the wood pallet, I replanted 5 beans (bean bush contender) in the single pots on the shelves (middle row), I planted spinach by the spinach sign in the blue bin, I replanted some radish in the spots that I harvested the other day, and I planted 2 peas (super snappy peas) in the single pots on the top layer of the shelves. I only planted things that weren’t growing and followed the label they already had, I didn’t bring in any new plants.
-The beans currently growing look very happy as do the sugar snap peas.
Narrative:
-I hope that the plants I replanted will grow successfully so the future crews can enjoy a variety of fresh plants.

Water in Blue Tank ~271 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: twice, morning and night, 9am-6pm
Changes to crops:
-The sugar snap peas look very good and the wood stakes are working for support. I plan to let them grow a little taller with the wood stakes before changing their support to the wire cages so they can get taller.
Narrative:
-Is the dill in the big blue bin intended to be harvested as a microgreen or grown to maturity?
-The plants in the greenhouse are doing very well! There is a single planter on the wood pallet that is labeled mint that has nothing growing. I have watered it the last few days and there are still no signs of growth. I plan to replant tomorrow using the seeds that were provided to me.

Narrative:
-Might be able to harvest the dill and the other assorted kale within the next week.
-My decomposition research is thriving! I already have mycelium on the top surface of my substrate. I am waiting for a stronger presence before I encourage fruiting.

Changes to crops:
-Added wooden sticks with sugar snap peas for support earlier today. When I checked tonight, a few of the plants had already begun to wrap around them.
Narrative:
-I tasted and used a plant identification app and confirmed that the unlabeled bin of microgreens was assorted kale.
-I harvested only half of the radish microgreens so we can consume more in a few days. The assorted kale I harvested came from the gray unlabeled bin located to the right of the metal shelving containing 3 rows of pots.
-Please see photos below of the harvest.
Harvest: (include which crop and mass in grams)
-Radish microgreens – 70.87 g
-Assorted kale – 48.19 g

Changes to crops:
-Good growth in the sugar snap peas and beans, most tomatoes beginning to grow true leaves
-Unmarked container of microgreens growing really well
-Mint in big blue planter began to grow, decided not to replant due to this
Narrative:
-Sugar snap peas nearing the height where they require additional support, would you like me to give them wire cages to grab onto in the next few days?
-Set up my mushroom research in closed tubs in the greenhouse. I am testing 2 different substrate methods with hopes of generating food for the crew while decomposing plant waste (that I provided).
-What does the container of microgreens that is unlabeled contain? These are ready to harvest very soon but I am unsure what plant it is and I want to be able to give you the crop type with the mass.
