Chris Speck Growing Beyond EarthⓇ NASA's Kennedy Space Center Fairchild Garden APS Office of Innovation Garfield STEM Magnet and Community School Couldnt get my humidity that high. My room is dry. Also about about 1000 mL of water/week. However, having 2 types of basil, the Cinnamon Basil exploded. The dill and the Genovese basil seem to be hanging on. Got two more weeks so I’m curious to see what the harvest results are.
Mission accomplished: today is Growing Beyond EarthⓇ harvest day! Even with hurricane shutdown days, our Misome is massive & healthy!!The #STEMrays Space Farmers Palm Springs Middle did an out of this world job of growing trial 1 & we can’t wait to see what it tastes like. 👩🚀🌱 PBCSD STEM
Harvest is complete for Growing Beyond EarthⓇ trial 1 for Palm Springs Middle and the verdict is an overwhelming 👍👍👍 Our #STEMrays space farmers also tried fresh pomegranate (many for the first time) and also gave it 👍👍👍
DMS QUEST Ss prepare 4 #CitizenScience project with Growing Beyond EarthⓇ & NASA. Ss are growing Misome in MARSfarm growth chamber. Ss will collect & analyze data 2 share with ISS Research. Looking at optimal light for maximizing plant growth while minimizing energy output.
