Re: 3rd Grade Science Project
I also think the test results are valid. Not all tests of
this nature result in dramatic results, but the test can
still show results. The plants apparently don't grow well
when fed cola or milk. I know many people on this list will
be interested to hear more on his test.
If your child had more time, I'd suggest rerunning the
test, using more plants if possible, to show if the poor
health is due to a plant with poor vigor, or do to what's
being fed to it. It also sounds like He may be over
watering/colaing/milking the plants. I'd let the soil get
fairly dry between doses. It's easy to over water potted
plants, or to overdo care on a project plant.
I ran a test on information regarding main vine direction
corralation to the direction the seed was planted. At no
point was this test "dramatic", but it did confirm the
information I was given. I was then able to pass this info
on to the people who took my little class on growing AGs.
