#* '''Note:''' A specific amount of sunlight is required for the plant to grow at full speed, and too little (or too much) light will cause its light usage efficiency to get lower and lower as the "Illumination Stress" increases. This '''slowly''' reverts back to full efficiency when proper lighting conditions are provided.

# Provide illumination to the plants. Activate the UV light on [[Hydroponics Station]], turn on your dedicated [[Grow Light]], or wait till the sun comes up. The plant won't die if they lack the sunlight, but will '''cumulatively''' slow down their growth ("Illumination Stress" in the Plant Analyser), and will slowly revert back to normal efficiency when proper lighting conditions are provided. Default batch of seeds might not tolerate the low level of natural sunlight on Mars.

# Provide illumination to the plants. Activate the UV light on [[Hydroponics Station]], turn on your dedicated [[Grow Light]], or wait till the sun comes up. The plant won't die for lack of light exposure, merely stops growing. Low sunlight strength on Europa will produce a misleading warning saying 'no sunlight', but really it is just growing at a reduced rate.
−
# Provide darkness to the plants.  Most plants require a certain amount of darkness per day or they will eventually start dying.  The [[Plant Genetic Analyzer]] can be used to learn the minimum amount of darkness needed.
 
 
# [[Fertilizer]] (obtained through [[Portable Composter]] or [[Advanced Composter]]) can be used to speed up growth or boost yield depending on how it is made. More detail to be added.

# The plant reaches maturity before it generates seeds.  
+
# There is a seed mature stage right before the fruit mature stage, so seed harvesting is time-sensitive. Point cursor at the plant at the right growth stage there will be a hint saying how many seeds are available for harvesting. If one waited too long there won't be any seed left, only fruits. You can however replant fruit as if it's a seed. Harvesting seeds does not affect fruit yield.  
−
# Wait till the fruit has seeds before harvesting.  If you harvest immediately upon maturity you will miss out on seeds. (This is mostly a problem for folks with old scripts for their [[Harvie]].)
+
# Wait till the fruit matures (cursor hints current yield), and harvest. The current patch note says the decay timer begins when the fruit matures, even when it is still left on the tree.  
 
# A healthy plant consumes water and [[Carbon_Dioxide|carbon dioxide]], then produces [[Oxygen|oxygen]] and radiates heat into the surrounding atmosphere. Constant manual intervention or another feedback loop into the environment control will be necessary to keep the greenhouse running in the long term.

(it should be mentioned that the [[Hydroponics Tray]] can be automated through the use of a Harvie unit ([[Kit (Harvie)]]). By placing the unit above the [[Hydroponics Tray]], the Harvie unit will be able to automatically plant and harvest crops with the use of logic)

*1: The grow times were recorded in the shade using grow lights on Mars, where plants will grow faster if they recieve sunlight. The times comes from a [[Stop Watch]] and an [[Integrated Circuit (IC10)]], starting from Hydroponics Device Slot 0 "Occupied" = 1 and stopping at Hydroponics Device Slot 0 "Mature" = 1.

'''Fastest way to create decayed food:'''
 +
* Gas: X
 +
* Pressure: <0.2 kPa
 +
* Temperature: >200 °C
 +
* A [[Fridge Small]] is perfect for this
 +
* Cooked food decays faster than raw
 +
* Gas at very low pressures can't be heated by a [[Pipe Heater]], heat the gas before reducing the pressure.
