If you no longer need the assigned growth chamber it is important that you let us know as soon as possible so others can be accommodated. Please be sure to remove all plants and materials from the growth chambers and clean the chambers of any soil debris or water. It is your responsibility to make sure that the chambers are clean and ready for the next user. Failure to adhere to this requirement will affect future reservation requests.
