Today:

Plants watered; salad machine plants thriving, wheat is now 5 cm.

All Tank levels normal; the azolla we placed in Tank 2 yesterday has already doubled in size and has covered the open surface of the tank.

Data collection for the new weather station appears to be working; readings will be taken tomorrow, Sunday morning. We will continue to take the manual readings for comparison.

Open Issues:

There are new suggested GreenHab tasks from Gus Sheerbaum; we will evaluate tomorrow.

Treatment system appears not to be removing nitrate; we are currently evaluating Crew 27's assessment and proposed action for this issue (see report of 4/10)
