21/06/2012 - Week 1 Analysis

...I think I just killed C3 and C4.


It was an accident, I swear! C3 and C4's stems were horizontal, and after watering them I wanted to measure their height, so I tried to pull them up with a ruler. Not sure if I beheaded the stems with the pointy tip, but I realised that I might very well be close to murdering the two plants (or maybe I had already done it) so I stopped.

It was an accident!

Anyway, here is the table for the observations:

Yup, and I found my USB port, so here are some pictures of my plants!





Yup, this is M8, as you can see. It looks like a four-leaf clover or something similar, doesn't it? Not that I've ever seen a four-leaf clover before...and I'm sorry about the huge break. I can't do anything about it. Blogger hates me. And on my draft page...well, there ISN'T a break. And I think I updated this like 8 times in less than 10 minutes because I have to fix the table and everything. Joy.



I can't really remember who this was, but I think it was C4...ok, I'll shut up now, and pray that I haven't yet killed this innocent being.
