Does Microwaved Water Kill Plants? Part Four

I hope you have enjoyed following the progress of these plants. In the above photograph, I have circled in pink one "dud" in each group. Link to first post is here:
In Group A, I had a spinach dud.
In Group B, I had a spinach dud.
In Group C, I had a sunflower dud.

The roots of the sunflowers poked through the egg carton and onto the cookie sheet!

These photographs are all on the 9th day of the experiment. The sunflowers definitely needed to be transplanted.

Group C Spinach (the only group without spinach duds)

I transplanted each group into a separate container.

Group B spinach (one seed was a "dud")

Group A Spinach

Group A Spinach (one seed was a "dud")

The long white roots are visible on several of these sunflower plants!

Group A, B, and C Sunflower plants

So, I continued to water these spinach plants in their new containers with the original water.
The Sunflower plants I transplanted first into a bread pan, but far apart and used the dropper for watering. Groups A and B were all successful, but Group C had a "dud".


I feel by using the dropper, the water soaked directly into the plant and did not cross-contaminate.
There will always be those who disagree with me.
Tune in to my next post...part five!
