Experiment_104:
For this experiment we want to test whether a new "brick" can be born, to be used in structures, that will be a hybrid of water, glass bowl, light, fiberoptics, and rhizhoma.
Items used in this experiment: vases, scallions, water, fiberoptics, light, paper clips, Eye-bowl.

experiment_102: scallions

Figure 01. The scallions were positioned into two same vases, filled with water.

Figure 02. One of the vase accepted artificial light trasmitted via the transparent fiberoptics.

Figure 03. The two scallions' rhizoma, in the vases, one (left) supported by the fiberoptics light transmission.

Figure 04. The one vase (with the scallion) without the fiberoptics.

Figure 05. The other vase (with the scallion) with the fiberoptics.

Experiment_102:
For this experiment we want to test whether the fiberoptics trasmitting light in one of the two vases filled with water, can help the scallions' rhizhoma to grow faster (and better). This experiment has a quantitative nature. It is an ongoing one. The experiment started on Wednesday March 7th at approximately 1pm.
Items used in this experiment: vases, scallions, water, transparent fiberoptics, artificial light, paper clips.

Experiment_100:
For this experiment we wanted to test whether the colorful grow light (instead of the simple Sodium-Vapor Lamps-HPS lamps) can be transmitted to the bowl via fiberoptics. According to wikipedia regarding Grow Light: Red spectrum light may trigger a greater flowering response in plants. If high pressure sodium lights are used for the vegetative phase, plants grow slightly more quickly, but will have longer internodes, and may be longer overall" and "Blue spectrum light may trigger a greater vegetative response in plants". Also, "Different stages of plant growth require different spectra. The initial vegetative stage requires blue spectrum of light, whereas the later "flowering" stage is usually done with red–orange spectra." In the experiment we worked with scallions' rhizhoma that can grow with the method of hydroponics.
Items used in this experiment: fiberoptics, multi-color grow light, rhizhoma, water, MassArt "eye-bowl" container.
