Well, the plants are deff. coming along. Well, here is what is going on. Both of the concentrations of the soap are pretty dried out. In both of the concentrations of the soap the plants(or whats left), look like hell. In the higher concentration of the soap all of the plants are dead, not a chance of growing. Every time we go to water them they are all dried out and look awful. In the lower concentration of the soap, they are all dead also, except for three of the plants. But, these plants are barely handing on, they are brown, and only about 3mm out of the soil, I'm sure when we check them tomorrow that they will be dead. The contrtolled plants are doing very well. Every time we go to water them the soil is still very moist from the prior watering, and they look nice, green, and very healthy. With the lesser concentration of windex, .5 of them are growing while the other half are dead. The ones that are growing are not as healthy as the controlled plants though. They are not as green, and the soil is dried out. For the higher concentration of windex about 1/4 of the plants are still alive, but they also don't look as healthy as the controlled plants. They look very similar to the lower concentration windex plants that are still alive. There is also lots of moss on the controlled plants soil. Where there is no moss on any of the other plants soil. Well, thats all for now. We will keep you updated on our progress!
