A lot has happened with our plants throughout the week. My controlled plant has grown to be three and one quarter inches tall. The plant has started to bloom and the leaves are starting get spiky. We water the plant everyday with two drops of water. Some of the plants are wilting toward one side it looks like they are trying to get the most sunlight. The plants have grown a lot since we planted them. They are growing very quickly. We thinned our plants on Monday, May, Fifteenth we picked the stronger more healthy plant to stay growing and the other one got taken out.
My manipulated plant has not grown yet. The Mountain dew is not helping the plant. Since the plant has not grown, my group and I decided to try and bring the plant back to life. Instead of watering the plants with Mountain dew we are going to water the plant with regular water. We think it will work because someone in my group spilled a drop of Mountain Dew on my controlled plant and that plant was our tallest plant. We put more water in the manipulated plant so the plant has a chance of coming back to life. We usually give it three drops of water instead of two.
I think the plant has not grown because the Mountain Dew has 77 grams of sugar or it could be because of the corn syrup. Possibly it is because of the caffeine, maybe it stunts plants growth too.
