keeping track of Thyme- Amanda, Anne, Emily, Graham

Our hypothesis is if we increase the fertilizer so will the growth will decrease, because the amount of fertilizer we put with the plants will overwhelm the plant and will stunt its growth.

Day 1: The pH level was 6, the Nitrates was 40, and Phosphate was 1

Day 2: The pH level stayed the same at 6, the Nitrates also stayed at 40, and the phosphate went up at to 2.

Day 3: When we came into the classroom we noticed part of one of the plants was dead, we noticed the water pump was not working and giving all the plants the water they needed. After adding more water and making sure water was going to all of the plants equally, we hope the water will help bring the plants back to life and help the others grow.

  1. Good luck with your possibly-dead plants; hopefully they survive the week!!

  2. I really like the way that your group came up with an original thesis. I also like how you guys made a tumblr instead of an instagram because its unique. Lastly, perhaps the plant was dying because of the low, acidic pH.

  3. Good job for retrying! The same thing happened to us, we just moved the water distribute closer to the plants because we realized the water wasn't reaching the plants well enough. It should be all good now.
