Grow Light Color in Relation with Radish Growth
Introduction
Background Information:
The grow light industry is a relatively small one that many associate with illegal Cannabis production. While this may be one use of grow lights, the field of uses is much broader and includes horticulture, indoor gardening, plant propagation and food production. These lights are even used for indoor hydroponics and to grow aquatic plants. Generally HIDs and fluorescents are used in grow lights.
The graphic to the right shows a commercial grow light.
Radishes are relatively famous for their fast growth rate and production time. They can fully mature in 3-4 weeks under optimal growth conditions.
The purpose of my project is to analyze the relationships between the color of light radishes

I started by pouring dirt into the planter box until it was about 2/3 of the way full.
I then poured about 5 bags of Biocharm™ on top and proceeded to mix the two together.
Once I believed it was adequately mixed I sprayed it with water to stop the dirt from getting picked up by the wind.
Next, I tirelessly set up a drip-irrigation system that evenly waters the entire bed out of the tubing, piping, and fittings I picked up with my dad from Home Depot.
I then planted and sprouted the radishes.
I planted about 100 radishes in 3 rows. I used a small “seed counter” to do this more easily.
I patiently waited a week for the seeds to sprout.
Next I setup the led strip lights.
I began by cutting all my LED strip lights to slightly smaller than the size of the bed’s length.
I soldered wires to the positive lead on all the LED strips. Then I soldered wires to the negative green on one, the negative red on one, and the negative blue on the last. (Not sure why it was the negative that determined color but it was).
Next I made little “M” shaped holders out of the steel
Plant food is a type of fertilizer in which plants are suppose to grow taller and healthier when the food is used over a period of time. It is made up of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen makes plants grow faster and produce more leaves, phosphorus makes the roots work better, and potassium gives larger flowers and prevents infection. The plant food contains these nutrients that are absorbed by the roots of a plant. Radishes, however, the subject of interest in this experiment is speculated by some to whether plant food actually works on it. However, for the experiment to be successful, the background information on the radish, “Early Scarlet Globe”, must be intact.
7.) After you have heated them to the right temperatures, pour the excess water into a dry evaporating dish. ( Be sure not to get any of the substance in your solution. )
I then figured out when, what and where our lights were going to be on, off and what colour. Also sounding and V.O cues.
neutralize 35ml of our base. Once we weighed out the KHP we then dissolved it
The “Fast Plant” experiment is an observation of a plants growth over the span of twenty-eight days. The objective is to observe how plants grow and use their resources throughout the span of their life. In our lab we observed the Brassica rapa, a herbaceous plant in the mustard family which has a short cycle which makes it a perfect plant to observe in this experiment. Like other plants the Brassica rapa must use the resources in the environment to create energy to complete itʻs life cycle and reproduce. By observing the plant it is easy to see in what organ or function the plant is using itʻs energy and resources and if overtime the resources switch to other part of the plants. By conducting this experiment we are able to observe where and how plants allocate their resources throughout their life by harvesting plants at different points in their life.
Similar to how we used water on both sides as a control in the baseline experiments, our first test was with dim light on both sides. To set up the chamber, we put 52 fruit flies in the double-sided chamber and sealed it tightly. Make certain to get at least 20 flies in the experiment for a larger set of data. That is why we put 52 flies in the choice chamber- to get substantial data. In order to count the number of flies on each side, draw a line going down the middle of the choice chamber to divide it into two halves. Side A is one half, and Side B is the other half. In this lab, we used red, blue, black, green, and 2 white light bulbs throughout the experiment. Additionally, to measure the intensity of the light hitting the choice chamber,
Experiment #1: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects of baking soda and light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis of green spinach leave through the observation of floating disk.
The plants of the genus Brassica include species very important for research and agricultural purposes including vital vegetable and oilseed crops (Augustine 2013). Research for these plants typically aim to increase their nutritional value and develop traits such as herbicide tolerance, sterility, and disease and pest resistance (Gupta 2012). One plant that can be used for research is Brassica rapa, in the form of Wisconsin Fast Plants, which are a rapid cycling variety that can be used for genetics investigations (Kinds Plants 2014).
...o grow for the next nine months? It is unlikely that society would consent to people seeds growing in their homes.
Now take another strip that has two holes punched and connect one of hole punched ends to the other end of the piece that you connected to your base.
Iron nail (1) Paperclips (several). Power supply (1) Coil (1) Method: - - - The method is relatively systematic. We first allocated various people amongst our group to collect different equipment such as the iron nails, paperclips, coils and power supply. Following that, we connected everything securely and wrapped the coil five times around.
2nd step heat the mixture: Make sure the agarose dissolves. Wait until it boils and when you are going to transfer the mixture, wear gloves to avoid getting burnt. Transfer the mixture into a removable gel tray.
The festival is dedicated to carving radishes and create scenes from sculptures to compete for prizes in various categories. As, the radishes and quickly wilt down and do not keep fresh after being carved, the entire event lasts only for few hours while the preparations start anywhere from few days to a week
ANOVAs were calculated using the IASRI website portal (online analysis of data; http://iasri.res.in/analysis/online_analysis.htm) for all the quantitative and qualitative traits. Among the quantitative trait test weight, days to 50% flowering, flag leaf length, panicle exertion, plant height and yield per plant were showing highly significant variation (Table 1). Among the qualitative traits apical sterility and inflorescence lobe, inflorescence compactness, inflorescence shape, lobe compactness, leaf senescence, degree of lodging at maturity and sheath pubescence (Table 2) was highly significant variation, this is showing that core comprising accessions were highly diverse and truly representing the variation of whole collection.
Scrape the sand into a beaker. Leave it to sit to let the water evaporate out of it.
