GreenHab Report AUCLAIR Jérémy 28 Feb 2018

(door closed) Heating once the sun was down 80 % Shade cloth on
Average temperatures: Around 37 °C at 10am, around 30 °C the rest of the day

Time(s) of watering for crops: 9:00 am and 7:20pm
Narrative: Today we put the 80% shade on all the GreenHab. We were four and it took us 2 hours, under the burning sun, it was a hassle. But Now it’s done, and it looks good. I worked quite a lot during the afternoon to take care of the plants. The GreenHab looks better day after day, makes me feel good.
Support/supplies needed: wooden sticks to support falling plants

POSTED ONFEBRUARY 25, 2018 GreenHab Report – February 25th Hi Capcom,
Here the GreenHab Report of my colleague AUCLAIR Jérémy
26 feb 2018
Environmental control:
(door open around 11am, left closed after 16h)
Heating once the sun was down
80 % Shade cloth on
Average temperatures:
Around 35 °C at 11am, around 28 °C the rest of the day
Hours of supplemental light: from 7pm to 9pm
Changes to crops: Two carrot pots were planted in a bigger pot to allow them to grow further, I tried to save the cucumber plants by putting wooden sticks to attach them and clean the mess the plants were in (all tangled up)
Daily water usage for crops: around 15 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: 11am and 7pm
Narrative: Once again I had to fix the mess the plants were in, the carrot plants were too close to one another, all bunched up in small pots, I moved them to bigger pots and tried to save most of the crops. There is a lot of work to be done in the GreenHab and it will take some time, a lot of plants need to be taken care of quickly (for a good amount of the plants the crops are too many in one too small pot). I ran out of wooden sticks again; half of the tomato plants and all the cucumber plants were falling apart because they weren’t guided with wooden sticks.
Support/supplies needed: wooden sticks to support falling plants

Victoria

GreenHab Report – February 21st
GreenHab Report
Jérémy Auclair
21 February 2018
Environmental control:
Ambient with door closed
Fan during 30 minutes
Shade cloth on
Average temperatures: I put the new thermometers in the greenhab today and the temperature was about 16 degrees Celsius at 5pm, went up to 30 °C at 8pm after we worked in the GreenHab
Hours of supplemental light: from 6pm to 11pm
Changes to crops: one cucumber that was not ripes fell down while changing the shade
Daily water usage for crops: 13 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: 10:30apm and 7:30pm
Aquaponics: None
Narrative: Today, the greenhab had many visitors. We installed the new shades (80% shading) and it was a hassle, it took us a lot of time and was very complicated! Almost all the crew participated in this installation. The commanders and the astronomer helped a lot and without them I would not have been able to do it! Thanks to this installation I noticed that many tomatoes plants were bending and with Benoit we used many wooden sticks. We changed the organisation of the GreenHab quite a lot. I still have many work to do to rearrange all this but, at least, the new cover is partially installed!
Support/supplies needed: Wooden sticks (again please)

AUCLAIR Jérémy
18 feb 2018
Environmental control:
Ambient with fan (high winds today)
Heating
Shade cloth on
Average temperatures:
Both thermometers are out of service
I estimated the temperature at 35°C around mid-day
Hours of supplemental light: from 8pm to 11pm
Changes to crops: none
Daily water usage for crops: around 15 gallons
Time(s) of watering for crops: 11am and 6pm
Narrative:
Functionality: The GreenHab heaters are working fine. Both thermometers are out of service, but around mid-day I estimated the temperature at approximately 35 °C, I turned on the fan for half an hour to keep the GreenHab cool. Because of high wind I left the door closed. Humidity was low in the morning (11am – 21 %) and rose up to 28 % during the day. I watered the existing seedlings twice (11am and 6pm) today and they are growing well.
Status: The existing seedlings in the green Hab are continuing to grow. There are a lot of tomato plants around the Hab, and some spinach, lettuce, beans, carrots and onion growing in the small pots. There are some other plants like a variety of spices and a few cucumbers. In the large rectangular pots there are a lot of salads (romaine mainly). I barely got familiar with the GreenHab today.
Planned activity: I will try to do the inventory stock of the greenhab tomorrow if I have time. I will look at the different seeds there are to choose some to plant them.
Support/supplies needed: one or two thermometers
