My peas have grown quite rapidly over these past weeks. However, there has been a slight mishap, as I did not provide a constant pot plant where it has no music being played to it. Another factor that has altered my plants, is the fact that the wet weather has provided my plants with a very moisturised environment. Though, peas grow better in drier environments.
Both these factors are going to be included in the discussion, as both have affected my experiment.

Ok, after what happened to my poor rock-pea and my poor blues-pea, the ash and the poop, I have decided to take down any information of change, of disruption, in a small notebook. I have also taken pictures of each day and the growth changes.
And yes, peas do grow really fast.
I will not upload all photos but choose appropriate ones needed to show changes between the peas to put in my blog and in my report.
The pop-peas have grown very well, each pot plant holding three sprouts, totalling 6. The blues-pea has only sprouted two in one pot and one in the other, totalling 3 sprouts. And the rock-peas which are struggling, has only sprouted one in each pot, totalling 2.
The results are coming along as expected.
However, personally, I despise rock music, so to have to listen to that each morning and night, is making my ears bleed..., metaphorically.
endure, Endure, ENDURE!!!

Hello World,
I have a crisis. The other day I discovered that there was a white substance in two of my pot plants. One was ash-like, whilst the other was gooey. Turned out, dad 'accidentally' dropped some of his ashes into one of my rock-peas... And the gooey substance was bird poop. Excellent. Well that disrupts my constant variables, so there will definitely be a change in the result.
But, I guess these things do happen.

Hello World,
Below is the equipment list and method for my SRP experiment.
Equipment List
- 18 Pea Seeds
- 1L Gardening Soil
- 6 Ceramic Plant Holders
- 200mL Water
- Measuring Cylinder
Method
1. Collect the equipment stated above.
2. Drain soil to remove moisture and place a thin layer of soil inside the ceramic plant holder.
3. Plant three seeds an inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart, in one ceramic plant holder.
4. Fill up the remaining space with soil in the ceramic plant holder until it sits one centimetre below the rim.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 in the other 5 ceramic plant holders.
6. Water each pot plant with 30mL of water.
7. Place the 6 pot plants in an area which receives plenty of sunlight, preferably with southern exposure.
8. Separate two pot plants with the others when music is played.
9. Play each style of music in the morning and during the night for a time period of 20 minutes.
10. Repeat step 9 for one month.
11. Observe and record results during the month.
*The experiment does not need to be repeated as it has already been taken into account, thus there are 6 pot plants instead of 3.

Hello World,
Sorry I haven't been updating for so long but I couldn't find this blog. You disappeared off the face of the earth.
Anyways, waking up every morning at 6am is very tiring, but for my little plants, I will continue to do so.
And I have noticed that the rock-peas haven't actually shot up yet, only the pop-peas... This observation is supporting my theory that the rock-peas won't grow as well as the pop-peas and blue-peas.
Anyways, good night world.
