lol this is me, about 14 years old for biology class. We had to grow seeds in light and dark conditions. For a 14 year old, the fact that plants grow faster in dark conditions is quite counterintuitive, so the teacher had an easy time to find out who falsified their data. Great experiment
Is that true? I guess because the plant is seeking light?
Yeah, they'll grow faster, but have less chlorophyll, iirc. You'll get really long, pale pants.
Know as getting "leggy" in gardening terms. Generally means the plant will fail as the stalk is to thin to support it as it ages and is exposed to wind and weather.
Instuctions unclear microwaved seeds. Plant no worky
There was a teacher who did that; anyone whose plant grew failed.
Just did this, growing seeds in light and dark, with some first graders. Blew their little minds.
Opening the box with the seeds that were in the dark for a week and seeing the sprouts all yellow, tall and grown towards a tiny little hole that no one noticed, the excitement was crazy.
