The Green Hab officer began setting up Spaceseed, one of the WBA experiments. It proved much more difficult than anticipated to assemble the cabinet and soon the entire crew was eventually working on it together. We have collectively spent 10 hours working on the setup and it is still not complete. Shriya and Mackenzie tackled the main structure, Rym came in and saved the day fixing the door attachment issue, and Ricardo knocked it out of the park with the fan installation. We are completing the Spaceseed setup this evening after having some dinner. The crew, but especially the Green Hab Officer, is really excited to begin collecting data for this experiment.

Because we are pressed on time, the Microgreens experiment that was intended to start today will now be set up and begin tomorrow.

The Green Hab officer and Crew Scientist Shriya spent the morning completing the Spaceseed structure! We then paused for our training EVAs in the afternoon and Spaceseed planting will be completed this evening as well as the Microgreens experiment.

Time(s) of watering for crops: 2 hours on setting up microgreens in appropriate growth trays for MDRS experiment and Spaceseed
Changes to crops: Nothing to report

Green Hab Officer completed Spaceseed setup evening of Sol 3. The structure was completed earlier in the evening and then the final technology and software was completed prior to installing the microgreens on the rockwool trays. We believe the system is properly connecting to the PIs but it did need to be unplugged and re-plugged into a new power source. From our end everything is nominal but awaiting confirmation.

The microgreens research experiment has also begun comparing vermiculite to a wet paper towel base. Broccoli, radish, mung bean, and alfalfa sprouts have all been planted and we will monitor growth over the next 8-10 days.

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.
