Besides the plants being under the care of the students, we are currently running 2 experiments with some of our crop.

One of them is testing out a new type of irrigation system with Halo Rings, and the other one consist of having plants in Zone 3 (The Forsaken), which has colder temperature settings, and no blackout curtains. The Forsaken are also manually watered.

It is interesting the compare some of the data from these different environment.

The student’s crop have an average height of 24.77cm
The Halo Ring plants have an average height of cm 27.39cm
The Forsaken have an average height of 23.20cm
