Here is a graph of the data that I collected on each of my tomato plants height throughout this time: As shown in my data, my plant has been growing pretty healthy for the most part. Although I didn't replant, the tomato still grew as developed more as time went on. It could be said though that if I were to replant it, then it would have grown bigger and more fuller than it is now. For the most part, all of the action and steps that I did in this experiment was beneficial but I still did not meet my goal yet to grow the tomato until it fruits. I am still awaiting that stage. One great observation that I learned from my data is that plant spread within the pot makes a difference. Two more observations is that the plants grow towards the direction of the sunlight as stated in the table above and that not replanting can “stunt” the growth of the plant causing it to grow slower and not at the rate we may want it to be. Due to it being cramped up into one small pot and the roots not having enough space to spread out, I infer is the reason why the plants are growing taller at a more rapid pace. If I did replant it, I believe I definitely would have had a much greater change of the plant fruiting and that fulfilling my task and duty.

Soil = Damp
1 = ~ 10 cm 2 = 9.5 cm 3 = 8.5 cm 4 = 8.25 cm 5 = 8.4 cm 6 = 0 cm 7 = 9.5 cm 8 hrs. sunlight 1 cup water The plant is doing very well now. I will begin to replant it sometime within the next week or two. Roots are noticeable upon the surface and the soil level has dropped significantly over the weeks. Bugs are not as present and the plant seems to be very healthy. Soil = Damp
1 = 9.25 cm 2 = 9 cm 3 = 8.25 cm 4 = 8 cm 5 = 8 cm 6 = 0 cm 7 = 9.25 cm 8 hrs sunlight 1 cup water Bugs and flies I have noticed are lurking within the soil and on the leaves of the tomato plant. I believe they are like fruit flies or something. The stems are different now having a different color and shade. Soil = Dry
1 = 8.9 cm 2 = 8.5 cm 3 = 8 cm 4 = 7.75 cm 5 = 7.5 cm 6 = 0 cm 7 = 9 cm About 8 hrs of sunlight 1 cup of water Greater amount of leaves growing, leaves are changing shape and more dark green looking.The stems have dropped to the grown growing in vine characteristics. Soil = damp
1 = 8.75 cm 2 = 8.50 cm 3 = 7.25 cm 4 = 7.50 cm 5 = 7.50 cm 6 = none 7 = 8.50 cm sunlight amount is the same given interestingly the plant stems are growing in the direction of the sunlight as it is put on a window seal. So, i decided to turn the plant around to allow a change in direction to the plants to help them grow straight. same amount of water given daily. Soil = dark damp
1 = 8.50 cm 2 = 8. 10 cm 3 = 7.25 cm 4 = 7.50 cm 5 = 7 cm 6 = none 7 = 8.50 cm sunlight about the same as last blog one cup given No Scale for weight for the rest of the blogs.
Soil = dry 1 = 8.25 cm 2 = 8 cm 3 = 7. 25 cm 4 = 7.25 cm 5 = 6.75 cm 6 = none 7 = 8.50 cm Sunlight roughly 8 hrs direct, 2 - 3 hrs indirect. One cup of water given. No weight was taken as a scale is unavailable anymore.
Soil = lightly damp 1 = 8 cm 2 = 7.75 cm 3 = 6.75 cm 4 = 7 cm 5 = 6.25 cm 6 = none 7 = 8 cm Sunlight roughly about 8 hours direct but about 2-3 indirect. One cup of water given. Weight = 297.4 grams
Soil = damp #1 = 7.75 cm 2 = 7.5 cm 3 = 6 cm 4 = 6.75 cm 5 = 6 cm 6 = Dead - 0 cm 7 = 7.25 cm Same sunlight water = 90 ml Whole Pot Weight = 300.3 grams
Soil = Damp Growth = #1 - 7.75 cm #2 - 7.50 cm #3 - 5.5 cm #4 - 6.25 cm #5 - 6 cm #6 - 0 cm (died) #7 - 7 cm Sunlight given = 14 hrs Water given = 100 mL All other aspects stayed the same (Leaves increased as well as height) |
