1/26-30 Weekly Updates/Observations

Updates:
The differentiation of protein content in feed for each tank began after data collection on Friday. Changes will be observed on Monday: the Galactic Branch (1) received fish food with a crude protein content of 38% and the Terrestrial Branch (2) received a fish food with a crude protein content of 54.5%.

Observations:
Glycine max (soybean) seeds were planted on Wednesday (1/28), and by Friday (1/30), there were 4 visible sprouts in the Galactic Branch (1) planter and 3 visible sprouts in the Terrestrial Branch (2) planter. Average plant height will be taken starting in next week's data collection and will continue through the experiment.
