All most done

so im half way through my report so far which is good :) but ill have to keep working right up till the last day because my 2nd batch of plants wont be finished till 2 days before. Each has gone for 25 days.
so the 1st batch is all done and thye kind of failed!!
the finishing heights were:
9cm for the overwatered
10 cm for the normal
and 0cm for the underwatered-it still has the same length stems but no longer has any height at all
for my report i've chosen to only include plant heights as this is what indicates how healthy a plant is as an unhealthy plant can't support itself so will droop losing height. The length of stems isn't as relevant as the underwatered plant still has the longest stem length but no height as it is almost dead. so obviously, stem length doesn't indicate health as accurately.
Also Mr FlowerPower Guy told me that my radishes should be ready to harvest within 20-22 days. So why have i left mine in 25 days you may wonder??? well to me they definitely did not look ready. I could not see the red tops/tips of anything growing beneath the surface so i decided to leave them 3 more days. Yesterday i up rooted some of them and guess what?! NO radishes!!!! none at all. but this can be accounted for: 1stly i had too many seeds in the one pot which ment overcrowding and not enough room for the radishes to develop. woops. 2nd. radishes need 'well drained' soil so obviously they don't want too much water. unfortunately we received record amounts of rain over the past 25 days and that got to all the plants. So this added onto the daily watering also stunted radish development. However you can see the start of radishes growing on the roots. When i uprooted them each plant had a different amount and whilst not fully developed radishes, like they should have definitely been at this point in time, there was still something to show for all of this. The results were:
the average watered plant:
the developing radishes (also known as bolts) on this plant were the largest and highest quantity.
the overwatered plant came next: it had a fair few bolts growing but not quite as many as the normal plant. they were slightly smaller in size too.
the underwatered plant had the least bolts. Very few actually and they were pretty small in size. Not all the roots/ seedlings had produced a bolt unlike the other 2 plants where majority had.
so that is that for my first try at the experiment. over all the results/ trends are as follows:
initially the more water the better as it gives it a good head start but after the 1st few days the amount of water should be reduced to an average amount so that it only seeps out of the botom slightly. however by day 7 less is more and the plant grws best with little water. However the underwatered plan startsdieing as the experiment continues (this happened around day 16 but due to rain it recovered and returned to its healthier state. It didnt start drooping then until the 23rd day where it had a drastic drop). The normally watered plant prevailed to be the healthiest and tallest. So all in all it is better to give your radishes a moderate amount of water as although they may be slightly behind at first, that amount of water will keep the plant going strong and at the end it will be the best one standing where the underwaterd plant dies off and the overwatered plant drop off.

As for the 2nd batch of plants they're still going strong.
the overwatered plant has grown to 10 cm and the normally watered one to 10.5 cm. the underwatered plant reached 9.5 cm but over the past 3 days has slowly been drooping and decreasing in height. it currently stands at 9 cm and is now the shortest plant. it started decreasing 3 days after the 1st underwatered plant did and is decreasing at amore steady rate.

i will upload a graph to show how the 2 runs of the experiment compare so far and this will look similar to the graph i use in my report (i'll just need to wiat for the 2nd lot to finish 1st though). I'll also upload pictures of how the plants looked by the end and the pictures of the bolts as well as a table comparing the bolts and how the plant looks visually health wise.

for my discussion i have many errors to discuss- the human errors include not thining the plants out and crowding them. the fact that i i could only be as accurate as my ruler would allow (to the nearest mm) is alimit of reading error and the systematic errors which i could not help include: general individual variation in the seeds affecting individual plant growth, the rain which disrupted my experiment majorly, the fact that i could not maintain a consistent amount of sunlight every day and same for temperature and wind- at least all 3 plants were sunject to equal amounts of each of those variables.
thats all for now, ill be back later to upload pictures :) bye!
