Cucumber Observation #2

After we planted our cucumber seeds on Wednesday April 1st we watered them again on Thursday April 2nd.  Over four days of being covered and under the light we came back on Tuesday April 7th and observed that we had four stems grown with two leaves on each. Then we took the plastic wrap off  and checked the moisture level before and after watering, we measured the light intensity, pH level of the soil and the temperature.

Tuesday April 7th:

Moisture level before watering: moist (5)

Moisture level after watering: wet (10)

Light intensity: 200

pH level: 6.5

Temperature: 28 degrees

Steps to Planting Cucumbers

Steps to planting the seeds:

1. First we got our planting pot and filled it with soil.
2. We made the soil moist by watering it.
3. We then used a moisture meter to measure the wetness of the soil.
4. Then we measured how deep the seeds had to be planted, 1/2-1 inch deep.
5. The seeds must be 6 inches apart from each other when planting.
6. After we got our measurements we put two seeds in each 1/2-1 inch deep hole.
7. Then we covered the seeds with soil.
8. Lastly we put plastic wrap over the soil and pot.
