Crew 315 GreenHab Report 20-04-2025

GreenHab Officer: Elena Saavedra Buckley

Environmental control (fan & heater): Heater and fan on

Average temperatures (last 24h): Unknown (see below)

Maximum temperature (last 24h): 95.5 F

Minimum temperature (last 24h): 75.2 F

Water in Blue Tank (200 gallon capacity): ___?__ gallons

Time(s) of watering for crops: Approximately 3:15 pm (late); 6:55 pm

Changes to crops: None

Narrative: Morning watering happened later than ideal due to forgetfulness around our arrival. We watered the plants as a group during our tour and training, which led to somewhat unknown measurements; I estimated that we watered them with approximately 7 gallons, and I followed up with an extra 2 right before 7pm.

Harvest: None

Support/supplies needed: I’m not sure where to find the following information:

• The daily average temperature

• The remaining water in the water tank

• Do you need more information in the “Environmental control” part of the report other than that the heater and fan are on?

Crew 315 GreenHab Report 21-04-2025

GreenHab Officer: Elena Saavedra Buckley

Environmental control (fan & heater): Both on

Average temperatures (last 24h): Not visible (see below)

Maximum temperature (last 24h): Not visible

Minimum temperature (last 24h): Not visible

Hours of supplemental light: 7pm-10pm

Daily water usage for crops: 10.8 gal

Daily water usage for research and/or other purposes: ~1 tsp for mushroom growth

Water in Blue Tank (200 gallon capacity): 180.2 gallons

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

Changes to crops: Mushroom growth kit added

Narrative: Today I watered the crops as normal and the temperature seemed consistent. I also started my blue oyster mushroom growth kid, a very simple model that just requires me to open the side of a box and cut a slit in a bag of spores. I stuck it on the wooden bench, spritzed it with my own spray bottle, and put a trash bag with holes over it to encourage humidity. I sprayed it again at night and will do it twice daily.

Harvest: Today I harvested about 10 leaves of basil, ~15 shoots of thin chives, ~6 shoots of thicker chives, and a fingerful of parsley. See below…

Support/supplies needed: The scale didn’t turn on and might need a new battery, hence my lack of harvest grams! The Smart Home program wasn’t loading after we switched to the backup generator.

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

GreenHab Officer: Elena Saavedra Buckley

Environmental control (fan & heater): On

Average temperatures (last 24h): ~87-90

Maximum temperature (last 24h): 101.3 F

Minimum temperature (last 24h): 72.7

Hours of supplemental light: Unknown (see below)

Water in Blue Tank (200 gallon capacity): 158.8 gallons

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
