Plant physiology experiment due to end soon. Pics!

Actually, dun really feel like blogging... having mood swings I guess. But to blog seems to be one of the best way I can think off to occupy my mind. Well a busy mind is better than leaving it to wander... just like the saying a free mind is a devil's workshop. Neways, my plant physiology experiment is going to end soon. We will be taking the growth measurements of both long beans plants and lady's fingers plants before clearing everything and turning the greenhouse to its original state. More long beans have sprouted and the previous ones were harvested by the lab assistant who is in charge of the green house. What he did to the long beans, I have no idea (brought it back home for his wife to cook I guess....hehhe...) but the weird thing is he left the lady's fingers alone. Din touched them at all. Throughout the experiment, the lady's fingers plants bore three fruits only and all of them are from pails where there is nutrient deficient while the ones with all the nutrient (as control) din bear any fruits at all. Here are the pics...

this one has two fruits which caused the plant to keep on leaning to one side

this is the control pail which has all the nutrients...sprouts alot of leaf but bears no fruit

the leaf is from the same plant as the picture before...its shape is kinda abnormal

the long beans plants grew until so high up...

the yellow colour thingy is the flower of the long beans plant...and a fruit hanging nearby
