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
neutralize 35ml of our base. Once we weighed out the KHP we then dissolved it
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 cutouts were then placed into large test tubes containing 4ml of isopropyl alcohol for each pigment band, total pigment sample 1, and total pigment sample 2. They were then sealed, until the pigments from the paper transferred onto the isopropyl alcohol. The same amounts of smaller test tubes were obtained, plus an additional small test tube, which was filled with isopropyl alcohol and acted as a blank. The eluted pigment solution lacking the paper was transferred into the rest of their respective smaller test tubes.
...o grow for the next nine months? It is unlikely that society would consent to people seeds growing in their homes.
Light dependent reactions are the effects that occur in photosynthetic organisms in response to solar energy and is the initial process of photosynthesis. Another name for light dependent reactions is, non-cyclic photophosphorylation. The site of these reactions occurs within the chloroplast in what is known as the Thylakoid membrane. Light is absorbed by something called photosystems (PSI AND PSII) and is part of all photosynthetic organisms. The light energy collected in this process will later become chemical energy. The process starts out with the excited electrons in PSII and then PSI. These electrons become excited from the absorption of light. The high energy electrons in PSI go down something called the electron
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.
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).
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.
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.
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
1Germination can be defined as the process of seeds, develop into new plants. In spite of being changeable according to its species, there environmental conditions that needs to be supplied such as temperature, ph and sunlight.1The first process is when water is plentiful, the seed fills with water in a process called imbibiton. In this process seed starts to grow a root. As the plant grows leaves to obtain sunlight. After this point, plant will continue to develop and make its own food by photosynthesis. In order to grow a plant stronger and faster, over the time, people developed different ways. One of these ways is applying fertillizer directly to the plant. Fertillizer is mostly beneficial and widely used so that plants may
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.
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.
