4phase2

Matt Wagner, Andrew Heater, Alex Kiledjian Our design was very simple. That was the reason we chose it. It involved cutting the white board with 8 holes in a 4 x 2 manner. The holes were large enough to allow the cups to be around half way through into the water so the plants has the perfect amount of water. Then in the body of water underneath the board, we put an airstone with a pump attached to it to allow the plants to have air circulating to them. This design is simpler and also superior to other designs with its simplicity and reliability. There are not too many things that could break on our system either boosting its reliability.

Plants are still alive but are wilting. They are a slight yellow.

Plants are wilting but are still alive. The water had a lot of algae which probably took away the oxygen from the plants. Now that it is cleaned I think the plants will do much better.

Plants 1 and 2 are doing very well and are starting to bud.

Now plants 1-3 are doing very well and are flowering. They are continuing to grow every week and all the other plants are growing slower but most of them are still growing.
