On the 11th of May our control was 1 inch, way better than before and looked wet. For our manipulated we had the same results but it looked the same as before. The next day we observed that our control was moist, it was better than before, it had buds and was lighter than our manipulated. Our manipulated was the same as our control but it was heavier than our control. Two days later we cut out the weaker plants of the bunch (that is called “thinning”.) Our control was moist, was way better than before, and was very green. Our manipulated was the same as our control. The next day our control had about 18 leaves. Was very green and moist. Our manipulated had the same results but it had about 12 leaves.

I think that our manipulated was doing worse than our control because sand does not have as much nutrients as soil.

This is our control before the thinning. This was taken on Monday, May 15th, 2017.
