Overall

The lima bean plant can grow without soil. We had 2 manipulated plants which were no air, no sunlight. We had a controlled plant with air, sunlight, water.

No Air

Our no air plant was thriving. The cotyledon was starting to come out of the lima bean. The leaf started to come out of the lima bean. The no air plants were starting to grow. I wasn’t surprised but the no air plant stopped growing. The leaves started to turn yellow. I think no air plant will not grow anymore.

Controlled [air ,sunlight, water]

Only one of the sunlight plants are healthy. The cotyledon is starting to come out of bean 2. I don’t know why all the of the plants are growing in the sunlight. I think the plant is going to keep thriving.

No Sunlight

The no sunlight plant isn’t doing great. The stem is white that is coming out of the lima bean. I think the no sunlight plant is going to die shortly
