so this was taken on the 5th and shows how the plant is starting to fan out and grow towards the edges.


this is a picture of the 1st batch of plants. the underwatered plant(up the top) shows how it is drooping and almost dead.


This is a close up of the underwatered plant. Note how it is drooping completely over the edge of the pot as it can not support itself anymore as it has been starved of nutrients due to lack of water.


This is a close up of the overwatered plant trying to show all the dieback. Once again it is not very clear in picture but i have circled where it is prehaps easiest to see it. The black there is not soil or shadow but the dieback occuring on the leaves.


This is an arial shot of the 2nd batch. I forgot to mention in my information post that even though the plants look healthy there are black dots occuring on the underside of some of the underwatered leaves. They ar only small but are increasing in amount. Ther are also a few black dots on some of the stems of the underwatered plant. =/ hmm haha i'll have to research what this means. Also important!!! in this experiment the overwatered plant is on the left. so from left to right it goes overwater, normal, underwatered. this is opposite to the other experiment as i put them behind there equivalent (i.e. the overwatered 2nd plant is behind the 1st overwatered plant). they are all receiving equal amount of sunlight and exposure to the wind though.


And this is a clos eup of the underwatered plant in the 2nd bunch to give you an idea of how they are growing
