Plant Report:

2014-2015 season lettuce: starts were transported from the Hab to

GreenHab in the morning. No

sprouting has occurred yet. They were again transported back to the

Hab this evening.

Crew 142 Martian soil project: Radish seeds are beginning to

germinate, several seeds pushing

themselves up through the soil. Seeds were covered up with their own

soil in the morning to

ensure proper root formation. Chard seeds have not shown signs of

germination yet.

Watering Activity Notes:

2014-2015 season lettuce: starts were moistened lightly with a spray

bottle to ensure not

overwatering.

Crew 142 Martian soil project: Experiment trays were watered in the

morning at 5mL (radishes) and

0.5mL (chard). It was observed that the regolith without compost added

dried out significantly

more than the compost treatment cells. This may alter our watering

scheme in the coming days.

More information is included in the Biologist report.
