So its day 2 of 18/6, after putting the seeds into soil.. I hadn't seen anything.. so wat i did was this...

1) i worked on the bin, set up a metal hanger-wire frame ballast to support the bulbs, they were folding the cardboard, and resting on the cups, practically... so that issue is of no concern anymore..

Experiment #1
3 cups i ran a copper wire through the soil, leading to one end of a battery.. the other end ran a wire to an aluminum foil which is placed above the soil.. I'm trying to use static electricity to help power the plant.. Someone did something pretty similar to this with solar panels and grew some illness... So i'm trying that idea out..

As well I dug through the soil to check the status on the seeds, turned out that each time i watered or so, the seeds sank further into the soil.. but I found them and the cotyledons are forming, and the stem is forming as well!

so I gave them a little surface and covered the cup with plastic wrap to keep the moisture.. the 3 plants with the static have the plastic wraps.. the other 2 dont.. Those are the control.
