Experiment Week # 3
Sorry this picture is so much darker. I forgot to take pictures until after dark. The two colored-water bulbs still seem exactly the same to me, but the central control bulb is starting to sprout new growth. It is possible that the food coloring is just killing the plants without coloring them at all. |
Just a note. Food coloring is probably the *worst* choice for this sort of experiment as it’s intended to color a limited range of materials and *not* be absorbed by body tissues.
It’s unlikely to be at all toxic to the plants.
Biological “stains” are intended to be absorbed by different sorts of tissues. And used to be used for practical jokes in med school.
Those could have interesting effects. Things like Gentian Violt and Methylene Blue are the ones I can think off off the top of my head.

Ah, so my experiment is doomed to failure. Oh well. Giving it a try has entertained me.

Well, plant tissues are different than animal tissues, so there’s a chance. Just not a good one.
And the whole point od experiments is to see if one’s reasoning is correct.
And you can always try again next year with other “dyes”. 🙂
