Sprouting with Fertilizers MK 3 27,28

Learning About Fertilizers

MK # 27 and 28 have experience with different fertilizers and they included it in their sprouting contest.

Here's what they had to share:

Day 1

The kids planted their seeds and fertilized each of their plants with two different types of fertilizer.  The plants (plant 1)with the numbered markers were fertilized with a natural kelp (seaweed fertilizer) and the plants without the number markers were fertilized with an organic fish emulsion (we will call these plant 2 insha'allah).

They have been lightly watering the plants everyday just to keep the soil moist.

  

Day 5

The plants were placed by the window under a ceiling vent with indirect sunlight.  The plants didn't sprout until day 5 and measured a 1/2 cm in height.

Day 8 

The plants had grown significantly and #28 (plant 1) still has only one sprout, but is the largest at 3 1/2 cm (this is the one fertilized with kelp) and plant 2 has two sprouts, the tallest of which is 2 1/2 cm (this is the one fertilized with the fish emulsion).  Also on day 8, #27 had also seen a large spurt in growth.  Plant 1 has two sprouts, and the tallest measures 2 1/2 cm and plant 2 also has two sprouts that appear very healthy and strong and the tallest of which is 3cm.

The kids were so excited this morning to see how much their plants had grown in a short period.  Insha'allah they will continue to monitor the growth and report back.

Jazaki'allahu khayran for this fun and educational contest!
