EXPERIMENT OR METHOD
DAY 1:
- Built a hot box out of wood and divided it with wood into four mini boxes.
- Put 3 litres of seed starter and 6 litres of potting soil in each mini box.
- Planted 4 bean seeds in each mini box.
- Watered the boxes.
- Placed old glass window pane on top of the boxes to act as a lid, but allows light to go through. The glass will also help to imitate a greenhouse humidity environment.
- Turned on the MP3 players and placed the players and the speaker in a large Ziploc baggie and put the appropriate one in each of the 3 mini boxes that were to have music in them.
- My dad helped me install the grow light above the mini boxes.
