Current Temperature:

60F/15C

Crew 161 Plant Report:

Added 60 mL of water to the repotted radish and bean sprouts. Beans are

fairing better than the radishes. Will send photos in next report with

measurements.

Prototype watering systems:

Per request by PI, placed both systems side by side on top shelf of

greenhab tent. Started a 16/8 on/off 24-hour light cycle for the cabbage

plants on 02/02/16 and will continue the light cycle schedule until end of

rotation. Photo of new setup attached.

OASYS Passive Watering System:

The last two seed pillows have still not sprouted. Photo of cabbage

seedlings attached.

Active Watering System:

Thinned cabbage seedlings from 3 sprouts to 1 in each wick. Because I had

to unplug the system to move it to the top shelf, I reconnected the USB and

ran through the pump activation procedure using the experiment laptop.

Completed pump reactivation, disconnected USB. Confirmed solenoid pumps

were actively clicking. Photo of growth before thinning attached.

Report forwarded to experiment principal investigators.
