Second Attempt

We came back after a long weekend and were checking on our plants, we saw that the rest of the plants had died from lack of water. Our absence due to snow is what caused this. We began looking into faster methods of growing the plants now that our first attempt flopped. An idea came up that we should use two wide cups, fill one with soil, and the seeds, and put it in a cup full of water. The cup on top containing the soil will have a hole in the bottom and a rope stuck through it. The water in the cup below will work up the rope and into the soil. We made multiple of these and filled each cup with different plants. We then took this idea and tested which nutrient gradient would grow the fastest, so we made another set identical to the first set, except we added more fertilizer to the second set. We want to see if more fertilizer would kill the plants, or if it would make them grow faster. Today is the first day of observations, and both sets seem to be growing at about the same rate despite the difference in fertilizer. We will continue to observe their growth and will keep you updated.
