MY PLANT LOG
6 April 2006 - Day 1
Today, I planted my hydroponics plant. An instructor came and told my class what was hydroponics, and then I filled my container with water until the first row of squares of my hydropot. Then, I put my butterhead cabbage seeds into the side of my rockwool with a hole, and I slipped my rockwool into my hydropot. After that, I poured two caps of nutrients into the water.

7 April 2006 - Day 2
When I reached home this afternoon, I went to look at my plant. I saw a little white thing dangling out of one of the seeds. I think that was a root growing out of the seed.

When I went to look at the seeds, I realized that nothing had changed.

This morning, I went to look at my plant. I realized that the shoot has grown out of the seeds. I also saw two leaves at the tip of the shoot. The leaves looked very green.

11 April 2006 - Day 6
Today noon, I went to look at my plant and realized that the leaves have grown bigger and a bud has grown in the middle of the two leaves. I don't know if it was a flower or another leaf.

Today afternoon, I saw that the bud had turned into a leaf.

These days, I add the nutrients and change the water at the correct time and it grew one leaf every day. Now it is a big plant.

Why Do We Have So Many Exams?
Exams make us super busy and make us worry. It makes a record that follows us forever! We have four exams and only eight weeks to study about each. That's not enough! China has only two exams and so have a longer time to study. That's so unfair! Well... I just have to cope with it!
