07/07/2012 - Proof of Life

I do have the sinking feeling that many of you think that I'm dead and rotting in a dark alleyway somewhere.


Well, I'm not.

I've just recently restarted my ENTIRE experiment, so you can imagine how busy I was. Data collection took up 1h-1.5h each day, and it was an agonising process, especially when you had to look over each shoot and possibly smooth them out so that you can measure a more accurate height. The roots also blended in with the toilet paper (which I used as the soil in the experiment because cotton wool was simply too expensive) so for the first and second experiments, I didn't realise when the roots had grown.

Silly me.

Anyway, currently I'm attempting to analyse 3 tables which currently look very complicated to me, and I'm not sure if I'm able to come up with the conclusion, because the results are pretty confusing.

Oh well.

In any case, here are some photos!
