Strong music, Insults Low music, compliments Indiference

To prove our experiment, every day we have to take care of our plants: We take the plants that listen to stronger music at the same time as the plants that receive the insults and put on their' music while we insult the other two. Then, we do the same with the ones that listen to softer music and the ones that receive compliments. Then, we take a picture to track the plant's growth.

                              FIRST WEEK   ( 8/02/2019) Today, 18th February 2019, I have started with the experiment with the 10 plants, five green mints, and 5 primroses. One of each type is going to have different stimuli: Heavy Music (Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk, Hip-Hop, EDM...), Insults and Yelling, Indifference (nothing), Compliments and Soft Music (Classical, Jazz, Pop...). To do the experiment I took the two plants that I insulted and yelled and the two that listened to heavy music and I put each pair in different rooms from each other and the other plants. I put the heavy music during 15' and I insulted and yelled the other two at the same time, 15'. When the time has finished, I repeated the process but this time with the soft music and compliments plants. This is how the plants start the experiment, we will see how they finish, with 15 days controls starting by now:                                                                                

For our experiment we are going to take care of two different plants: Green Mint and Primerose, so we had to search for information about them. Menta Spicata: First of all, we are going to explain green mint, who is knowing by the name of menta spicata  - it's the botanic name - too. It is a plant inside the mentha's gender, that is an aromatic plant thankful to it intense and cool smell and it is so used in gastronomy and perfumery. Green Mint is a parenne plant, it means that live more than 2 years, so in good conditions, it grows up easily to 1 meter high thanks to its extensive and invasive roots. Its leaves give the name to the plant for its form (spica means 'spear' in Latin). The leaves have a big foliar mass so, especially in summer, they need to be watered with a higher frequency.

In the market there aren't separated spearmints. For these reason we had to separate them.  Then we take the weigh of the dirt: 95g  And finally we put the individual spearmint inside the dirt.
