<u>Narrative:</u>
 +
 +
On Sol 3 the Green Hab (GH) was quite nice: I checked the humidity 3 times on the day, every time it has 16-17% (tomorrow I’m going to be more specific with the times). I opened the door of the GH at 10:45 and I closed it at 17:30, it was open because it’s getting pretty hot inside. The temperature inside the GH fluctuated between 25°C-32°C during the day.
 +
 +
Inside the GH, there were some seeds from a former experiment someone was doing; Shannon told me to water them. I had watered the plants twice today at 10:45 and 15:40. I was about to do a third at 18:20, but they had enough water. I will try to water them tomorrow before 09:00.

At Sol 4, I’ll have to re-label most of the bowls because they are a mess. So I’ll let you know how that worked. Also, most of the GH is a mess, so as we are doing the lab, I’ll try to rearranged everything. It’s a pretty nice place and I think it can be very useful. We found a red wheelbarrow that we are trying to build up to use it at the EVA’s, but it’s extremely weird, we don’t know if it has missing parts or what, but we can’t finish to build it up. It’s driving me crazy.
 +
 +
Tomorrow I’ll start my project, I’m going to measure the rate of germination of quinoa, amaranthus, and mustard.

Sol 5 was a pretty lazy day at the Green Hab (GH). Yesterday I worked till 22:00 at the GH and then I was looking for some guides to build a homemade Drip Irrigation System, so I woke up pretty late, plus we had the training for the Rovers and the ATV’s and a 3-hour EVA. It all went awesome! But I didn’t have time to make the repairs I wanted to make on the GH. However, I did repair the GH door that I discovered was a bit lose.

During the last hours of Sol 4, I finished the preparations for my project. Half of the seeds remain at the GH; the other half is in the growing chamber that’s on the Lab. For all the experiment I’m using less than a liter of distillated water per day.

I didn’t have enough time to rearrange the GH because I started my experiment today. I’m going to measure the germination percentage and rate of quinoa, amaranthus and two kinds of mustard on a control soil and the mars analog soil. I’ll attach a picture of the pots. I still have to finish planting the seed I’m going to put on the growth chamber that’s in the Lab. I’m aiming to finish it before dinner.

Sol 6 was a very short day at the Green Hab (GH) because we had the visit of Globo Tv, as you should know by now. I started to rearranged everything at first hour, it’s a huge mess. There some many materials! Although, most of them are useless, there are some items that can be very valuable for next crews, but I’ll need more help tomorrow if I want to finish what I am aiming.

The analog soil I’m using is becoming clay, and I’m worry that the seeds are not going to be able to break the soil and emerge. So, I’m going to try a new procedure: I’m going to germinate the seeds on Petri dishes and observe growing behavior on those ones.

The crops from a former experiment that is in the Green Hab (GH) keep growing. There is a gigantic bean seedling! It looks amazing. However, I’m worried about the tomato seedlings, they are too many in the same pot. I hope Shannon give me some instructions regarding this issue.  I elevated the temperature of the GH to 50 F.

I thought that the seeds on the Petri dishes were ready to be planted on the analog soil, again. They just needed another one more day. The quinoa seeds are not germinating on the control, either. I’m guessing that the day I didn’t water them was enough for them from drying. That almost killed all the project! I will need to continue with my experiment on my university with the analog soil to get solid results.

GreenHab Report November 6th

POSTED ON NOVEMBER 8, 2017

Narrative:

On Sol 3 the Green Hab (GH) was quite nice: I checked the humidity 3 times on the day, every time it has 16-17% (tomorrow I’m going to be more specific with the times). I opened the door of the GH at 10:45 and I closed it at 17:30, it was open because it’s getting pretty hot inside. The temperature inside the GH fluctuated between 25°C-32°C during the day.

Inside the GH, there were some seeds from a former experiment someone was doing; Shannon told me to water them. I had watered the plants twice today at 10:45 and 15:40. I was about to do a third at 18:20, but they had enough water. I will try to water them tomorrow before 09:00.

Crops
Species (Common Name) Number of Bowls
Tomato 25
Cucumber 7
Melon 8
Beans 17
Pepper 9

At Sol 4, I’ll have to re-label most of the bowls because they are a mess. So I’ll let you know how that worked. Also, most of the GH is a mess, so as we are doing the lab, I’ll try to rearranged everything. It’s a pretty nice place and I think it can be very useful. We found a red wheelbarrow that we are trying to build up to use it at the EVA’s, but it’s extremely weird, we don’t know if it has missing parts or what, but we can’t finish to build it up. It’s driving me crazy.

Tomorrow I’ll start my project, I’m going to measure the rate of germination of quinoa, amaranthus, and mustard.

Changes to research plants: none

Daily watering and amount of water used: 864 mL approximately

Narrative:

Sol 5 was a pretty lazy day at the GreenHab (GH). Yesterday, I worked till 22:00 at the GH. Then, I looked for some guides to build a homemade Drip Irrigation System, so I woke up pretty late; plus we had the training for the Rovers and the ATV’s and a 3-hour EVA. It all went awesome! But, I didn’t have time to make the repairs I wanted to make on the GH. However, I did repair the GH door that I discovered was a bit lose.

During the last hours of Sol 4, I finished the preparations for my project. Half of the seeds remain at the GH as the other half is in the growing chamber that’s on the Lab. For the whole experiment, I’m using less than a liter of distilled water per day.

The project wants to prove that Peruvian native crops can, indeed, germinate and grow on Mars soil. I’m working with quinoa, amaranthus and mustard (as a control).

I’ll attach a picture of the pots!

As I’m aiming every Sol, tomorrow I’m going to rearrange all the GH, because it’s a mess. I’ll let you know how that worked.

Support/supplies needed: none

Daily watering and amount of water used: none

Narrative:

Hi Key! Atila in here. Sol 4 was a very busy day at the Green Hab (GH).

Ok, so let’s start with some crazy data about the GH today:

Greenhouse Temperatures (°C)
Time Temperature Inside (°C) Temperature Outside (°C) % Humidity
8:54 29 5 16
11:52 35.5 13 16
13:30 38 14 16
17:15 14 8 21

The times in red were when I watered the seed that is still in the lab, they are supposed to be someone else experiment.

Shannon told me to water the seeds 3 times every day, but by 18:00 they were pretty wet, I did not want them to rot.

At noon, it was extremely hot, jeez! I had to take my shirt off for a while. I was alone, so I guess it wasn’t that weird.

As I told Sylvain on Sol 3, I re-labeled all the seeds from the former experiment, it was a mess. Now the seeds look great, I didn’t group them, so they still have the random distribution.

I didn’t have enough time to rearrange the GH because I started my experiment today. I’m going to measure the germination percentage and rate of quinoa, amaranthus and two kinds of mustard on a control soil and the mars analog soil. I’ll attach a picture of the pots. I still have to finish planting the seed I’m going to put on the growth chamber that’s in the Lab. I’m aiming to finish it before dinner.

Also, I’m aiming to make the GH great again by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll let you know how that worked.

Narrative:

Hi, Graeme! Atila in here, yes, like the Hun. I hope you are having an amazing night.

Sol 6 was a very short day at the GreenHab (GH) because we had the visit of Globo TV, as you should know by now. I started to rearranged everything at first hour, it’s a huge mess. There some many materials! Although, most of them are useless, there are some items that can be very valuable for next crews, but I’ll need more help tomorrow if I want to finish what I am aiming for.

Respecting my project. Half of the seeds remain at the GH; the other half is in the growing chamber. For all the seed of the experiment, I’m using less than a liter of distilled water per day.

The project wants to prove that Peruvian native crops can, indeed, germinate and grow on Mars soil. I’m working with quinoa, amaranthus and mustard (as a control).

Narrative:

Hi, Victoria! I’m Atila, like the Hun and I hope you are having a terrific time.

I’m glad to let you know that today was the first day of germination of the crops from a former experiment that is on the Green Hab (GH). I’ll attach you a pic.

Crops
Species (Common Name) Number of Bowls Number of Seedlings
Tomato 25 5
Cucumber 7 1
Melon 8 5
Beans 17 2
Pepper 9 2

Tomorrow i’ll update these numbers as soon as I can. It will probably be easier if I make a Drive with the dates and number of emerging seeds. Let me know if you have like a Data Base where I can put this data. Also, I wanted to ask Shannon how much seeds are in each pot.

Respecting my project. Half of the seeds remain at the GH as the other half are in the growing chamber. For all the seeds in the experiment, I’m using almost a Liter.

The project wants to prove that Peruvian native crops can, indeed, germinate and grow on Mars soil. I’m working with quinoa, amaranthus and mustard (as a control).

I think that’s pretty much all if you need more information about the GH I will be glad to send it to you.

Thank you for being there, Vic!

Have a beautiful night on Earth.

Hi, Gael! Atila in here, like the Hun. I hope you are having a terrific time.

Today was the day after the germination of the crops from a former experiment that is on the Green Hab (GH). The seeds keep germinating and the seedling keep growing. I turned on the heater (45 F).

Crops
Species (Common Name) Number of Bowls Number of Seedlings
Tomato 25 8
Cucumber 7 1
Melon 8 7
Beans 17 7
Pepper 9 3

As soon as possible, i’ll update this numbers tomorrow. It will probably be easier if I make a Drive with the dates and number of emerging seeds. Let me know if you have like a Data Base where I can put this kind of data.

The project wants to prove that Peruvian native crops can, indeed, germinate and grow on Mars soil. I’m working with quinoa, amaranthus and mustard (as a control).

The analog soil I’m using is becoming clay, and I’m worried that the seeds are not going to be able to break the soil and emerge. So, I’m going to try a new procedure: I’m going to germinate the seeds on Petri dishes and observe growing behavior on those ones.

I think that’s pretty much all the information I have to share. If you need more information about the GH I will be glad to send it to you.

Thank you for being there!

Have a beautiful night on Earth.

Hi, Jennifer! Atila in here, yes, like the Hun. I hope you are having an amazing night

The crops from a former experiment that is in the Green Hab (GH) keep growing. There is a gigantic bean seedling! It looks amazing. However, I’m worried about the tomato seedlings, they are too many in the same pot. I hope Shannon give me some instructions regarding this issue. I elevated the temperature of the GH to 50 F.

Narrative:

Hi, there, Graeme! Atila in here. I hope you are having an amazing night

The crops from the former experiment in the GreenHab (GH) keep growing. Shannon will have to give them a look because the tomato seedlings are like a pest! I can’t believe how many seedlings are appearing. I hope Shannon gives me some instructions regarding this issue. They are growing pretty respectable, though.

I’ve made an excel sheet with all the data of the crops and research plants. It’s only 15 KB, so I’m attaching it to the report. Each square is a pot, I hope it gives you a nice view of the GH.

However, it will probably be easier if I make a Drive like the Excel document with the dates and numbers of emerging seeds. And this Drive can be used for future crews too. Let me know if you have a Data Base where I can put this kind of data.

The analog soil is not becoming clay anymore, thanks to a more rigorous water treatment, so I’m waiting for the seedlings to show on Wednesday.

I think that’s pretty much all, if you need more information about the GH I will be glad to send it to you.

Thank you for being there!

Narrative:

Hi, Kevin! Atila in here, and I’m a man, haha, don’t worry about it, it’s a common mistake. I hope you are having an amazing night.

Today I haven’t been on the GH the whole day, as you should know by now, we had an incident during our EVA mission.

However, in the morning I checked the crops and they are growing pretty solid.

I was making an Excel with information about the GH but I didn’t have time to update it today, I would do it tomorrow. Sorry about that!

The seeds on the Petri dishes are ready to be planted on the analog soil. Tomorrow I’ll begin.

I think that’s pretty much all, if you need more information about the GH I will be glad to send it to you.

Thank you for being there!

Narrative:

Hi, Sylvain! Atila, here. I hope you are having an amazing night.

Kevin’s crops are growing pretty solid, Julio already sent a picture. It’s crazy! I wanted to ask what’s the plan for them.

I thought that the seeds on the Petri dishes were ready to be planted on the analog soil, again. All they needed was another day. The quinoa seeds are not germinating on the control, either. I’m guessing that the day I didn’t water them was enough for them dry out. That almost killed the entire project! I will need to continue with my experiment in my university with the analog soil to get solid results.

I think that’s pretty much all, if you need more information about the GH I will be glad to send it to you.

Thank you for being there, Sylvain!

Hi, Veronica, Atila in here, again. I hope you are having an amazing night.

Today is our last simulation day! Jeez, times really fly. I’m going to miss those little guys (I’m talking about the crops, of course, the crew too, tough). They are just huge.

We already ended the simulation, and this is the final GreenHab Report; however, tomorrow I’ll water the crops twice at 08:00 and 13:00.

I couldn’t obtain any conclusive results from my project probably because of the incident of #7 EVA (I wasn’t able to water the research plants that Sol). However, I’m aiming to continue my research with the analog soil in my university. I hope I will be able to let you know how that worked.

I forgot to mention in my last GreenHab Report that, with help of the whole crew, the GreenHab is shining! We put our bodies and souls on that.

I think that’s pretty much all, if you need more information about the GH I will be glad to send it to you.

Thank you for being there!

Have a beautiful night on Earth.
