The herb seedlings still have not sprouted. The Mars shoot is still looking healthy.
The herb seedlings and the Mars shoot received water this morning.
The hydroponic lettuce sprouts received water today at 9AM. All the lettuce shoots appear healthy. At 5PM the hydroponic soil appeared and felt damp. The sprouts will not be watered tomorrow. The leak in the irrigation tubes grew significantly bigger today requiring an emergency repair with duct tape. Water from the leak was elevated to a height where it
actually reached the adjeacent hydroponic bag with ease.
Since the repair was applied after watering effectiveness of the repair will not be known until the next watering.
They remaining lettuce seedlings look very healthy. They are close to out growing the root cubes.
The pepper seedlings have not sprouted as yet. All the seedlings in root cubes received water at 8AM. All the seedlings were returned to the upper hab at 5PM.
