Narrative: In the morning, there was no cucumber wilting, but by 6:00 PM they were quite wilted despite their soil still being damp. This is consistent with the weather being very sunny with no clouds and a high of ~95 F in the GreenHab, in contrast to yesterday’s weather (overcast) and the plant conditions (not wilted). I am going to water only two of them to see how well they recover with/without water given the cooler temperatures at night. All the tomatoes are still doing great.
I am happy to report the water monitoring system will be up and running tomorrow morning thanks to a soldering tutorial from the engineering-minded crew members; I had a lot of fun. I will also end the blackout period for the peas and sunflower microgreens tomorrow.
Harvest: none
