Since my last 20 time blog post, I have found out so far is that the plants grown with the higher light intensity have been growing faster than those grown with less light intensity. With this experiment, I have also learned a bit more about myself. I have discovered that I am quite interested in growing plants as a activity. Another thing I found about myself is that I tend to work best alone, though I already knew this, this lab just reinforced it.
For various reasons, I have made many little tweaks to my experiment. The biggest decision I made was to change the test question from "Can one grow a plant, so that it grows bigger, without using any chemicals or GMO's?" to "Does a plant grown in better conditions bare larger vegetables?" because of the time constraints. I have also decided to not compare the weight of a vegetable from a store and mine. Instead, I chose to compare them between each other. Another change I might need to make is to compare the growth of the plants and their leaf size instead of the edible part. I have not experienced many setbacks this time.
For the next steps, I will be continuing to collect data as the plants are growing. I will also get ready to finalize my lab by unearthing them and comparing the plants. I will also need to write my conclusion, but I believe that I will do this very close to the due date, so that I can leave the plants growing for the maximum amount of time.
