So today we started a brand new project, we have changed the focus of the project due to the fact that the carnivorous plants were a bad plant to test.(they died). Our plan with the new test is to keep the plants alive this time and also more accurately measure the changes in Co2 and the overall healthiness of the plants in both tanks. We hope to find results that prove to us that massive amounts of Co2 can be good for plants and speed their growth without killing them and having the same quality and a normal plant grown under no special conditions.
Mr. Weiseth gave us the option to grow "rapid radishes" and he had some left over tanks that we converted into sealed terrariums using some plexi glass and gluing the cut pieces onto the top of the tank
Pictured(right) is the finished and sealed Co2 tank with the plants growing healthy inside and the drip system still working. Below is the Control tank that is exactly the same only no hole has been drilled for the Co2 adapter, since it doesn't need it.
This Environmental chamber is being used to help grow all the plants with the settings changed to the correct temperature and the lighting is artificial sunlight on a timer set to turn of as the sun goes down just like a normal day.
