Since we put the mercury thermometer in the Greenhab, it is easier to monitor the heat. I opened the door from 0830 to 1130, and it was not really hot in the afternoon.

I did my experiment this afternoon and made some interesting observations about my radishes, I will see in the next days how it goes.

of microgreens
– In a pot : chives

Narrative:
– Today I planted new crops in the greenhab : chives in a pot, and
savory mix + lettuces + microgreens in a gardener.

– I also made an inventory of the current plant in the greenhab and
their changes since last week.

– I opened the door 1 hour this morning, between 1000 and 1100.

– I put a bit of fertilizer on the tomatoe in the blue tray, and on
sugar peas.

Harvest: 8 g of basil and 1.6 g of sage

Narrative:
– Cress planted this week sprouted only in one of the two gardener, because in one gardener the water couldn’t flow. I resolved it. – Since we harvested some salads for lunch (savory mix), a gardener is empty, so I hoed it and prepared the soil, to plant new lettuces tomorrow.
– The door was opened from 0830 to 1500, and the fan was turned on for almost 3 hours (by short periods of time), but even with that the heat increased in the greenhab to reach 40°.

Harvest: 64 g of savory mix, 22.7 g of radish, 2.7 g of parsley, 1 g of cress, 34 g of basil.

Changes to crops: None.

Narrative:
This morning, we harvested some mixed green salad and radishes for Aurélien’s birthday. We also prick out the 8 radishes pots of my experiment, to allow the best radishes to grow;

In the afternoon I performed my experiment in the greenhab, placing each pot in the growtent, with UV light and specific music for 6 minutes. However, the UV lamp found in the science dome doesn’t seem to be powerfull enough, I think it won’t be good for the experiment.

Other problem we faced today : the heater thermometer is placed on the cooling fan’s metal side. When it is hot, we put on the fan, so the heater thermometer decreases a lot more than the greenhab, and its temperature reaches 15° while it’s 25° in the greenhab, so the heater turns on.
Today, both the fan and the heater were turned on, although the temperature was high (31°C). We should re-monitor the heater thermometer.

Harvest: 89 g of mixed green salad, 1 g of watercress and 35 g of radishes.

Support/supplies needed: None.
