Understanding plant growth

to discover plant growth and learn how plants start out in life i created a project to show me the development of plants.

First I built a plant farm out of jugs and wood as ween in the picture i will then take the plants later on from the bag and transplant them into the jugs.

I've began to grow the plants in a bag with a moist paper towel after the plants start to grow I'll transplant the plants into there new home that I built.

As you can see the project is going kind of slow but its fascinating its been about three weeks and only a couple of plants have started there journey into the world. 

Mr. Cunningham wanted to reassure the plants grew so he bought a Aero garden plant grower I will still further my studies at home but with this Aero garden I can reassure you that you will see the full goth of the plants.

I transplanted the plants I originally had in the bags into a small green house container then stuck them next to the green house grower machine.

This is a picture of the plants after the been moved they so far are looking good.

As you cant tell the plants my growing in the Aero garden have started off on there new life well only one but its only been a total of three days that's crazy.

For actual information on the Aero garden machine check out there web sight by clicking the link i highly recommend it.

As you can tell all the plants have grown over the weekend there coming along quite well im only going to start a time laps with about one picture of them every week.

its been a week since my lats update on the plant growth and development pictures. I'm still in the middle of getting approved for the making of a green house.

Another week has gone on and the plants are doing great the plants in jiffy plastic green house have died due to not enough water than to much and finally they died but we learn from our mistakes.

this is a before and after pick of the dill it was growing to fast and we reached the height limit on the arrow garden that i had to trim it down. we left the clusters leaves to see how they would grow.

As you can see now the dill grows three times faster than the Basel witch grows two times faster than the parsley

1: why can you grow plants in a bag for the first part of there life but not as the further progress into the world well that has to do with the need for nutrence that the soil provides like iorn or worm poop even as a plant first starts theye just need water and sun.

​

2: The sun helps plants grow by providing energy for the process of photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis is the way plants convert inorganic resources, such as sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and minerals, into organic resources that the plant can use.

 

3:how does iorn help plants? well First of all, iron is involved when a plant produces chlorophyll, which gives the plant oxygen as well as its healthy green color. This is why plants with an iron deficiency, or chlorosis, show a sickly yellow color to their leaves. Iron is also necessary for some enzyme functions in many plants.

fun facts

at this point the Aero garden seedling has barley broke out of the shell and has started to grow its ruts into the grown.

when trimming basil cut 1/4 above the second main stem.

as you can see in one week the basil has grown a lot so much that the leaves have started to burn on the lights.

we have no trimmed the basil according to the procedure above 1/4 from the main stem

this will be the last picture because i have started a new project and i don't have enough hydroponic systems to continue this one.
