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.
Last Friday we did our second round of measurements. No. 4's stem looked fragile but she's still holding on. We have some dead flying insects in the tray and soil but no evidence of herbivory. Harvest day is just a couple of days away! Growing Beyond EarthⓇ Fairchild Garden
We have been struggling with keeping the humidity up but the plants do not seem to mind the drier environment. Growing Beyond EarthⓇ
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 👍👍👍
Finally planting Misome for the C lighting experiment for Growing Beyond EarthⓇ at Mrs. Sedoti in Olentangy Schools . MARSfarm grow station mimics the VEGGIE unit on the #NASA ISS!!
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
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.
